Budget Bed Buying Tips
- Don't sacrifice washability: Budget beds get dirty faster if they're not washed regularly. Always choose a machine-washable option.
- Size up: A slightly larger bed costs the same but gives your dog more room to grow into — especially important for puppies.
- Check the fill: Poly-fill is the most common budget bed material. It's comfortable but compresses over time — plan to replace every 12–18 months with heavy use.
- Layer it: A budget mat inside a crate paired with a plush blanket can rival the comfort of a more expensive standalone bed.
