2. Aspen Pet – Best Value

The holidays can be hard on the wallet, so if you’re searching for the best Christmas dog beds for the money, this adorable option will be right up your alley. This bed is beautiful to look at and is sure to complement your holiday décor. It has a unique interior layer that is designed to reflect your dog’s heat. This self-warming feature is excellent for any dog that loves to snuggle under blankets or prefers a spot by the fire and for pet owners who want to keep their dogs cozy without the fire hazard of an electric blanket. This bed comes in three sizes: 19-inches (dimensions above), 24-inches, or 30-inches. Since this bed doesn’t have any Christmas-specific illustrations, it can be used all year round.

The bed is machine washable, and the manufacturer recommends you fluff dry it on low heat. The cover is not removable, and you must put the entire bed in the wash, which may not work for smaller-capacity washers.

4. Hollypet Cozy Pet Bed House – Best for Puppies

Hollypet’s Christmas House is an adorable cottage-style bed to which your pup can retreat if the holiday festivities get too exhausting. It’s a great pick for dogs that weigh less than 18 pounds, so it’s perfect for the puppy in your life. The bed is made with a self-warming fabric to keep your pup warm during the winter. It is durably made with precise stitching, strong seams, and a non-slip bottom that should keep the bed in its spot.

This bed is surface washable only, so putting it in the washing machine is not recommended.

5. Frisco Buffalo Check Cuddler

Frisco’s Buffalo Check Cuddler is a cozy cuddler pet bed that also doubles as a great gift. Not only does this gift set come with the bed, but also a plush blanket for those cold winter nights and a cute bone-shaped squeak toy. The bed has bolster edges your dog can use as a headrest or bum rest, depending on how your pooch likes to sleep. The red plaid print is perfect for the holiday season, but it also comes in blue if your holiday décor is more blue than red. The bed is machine washable in the delicate cycle with cold water and can be tumble dried in low heat.

The description suggests this bed will work great for large breed dogs, but we recommend checking the dimensions. There are some reports that it is not large enough for certain breeds.

6. ECO-WILL Pet Teepee

This red holiday teepee with a pretty snowflake print will be an adorable addition to your Christmas décor. It’s made of 100% cotton canvas which makes it machine washable. The cushion is made of a soft silk material and double-sided so you can flip it over before you wash it. The teepee comes with a strand for warm LED lighting that will add to the festive atmosphere in your home. It’s simple to assemble and stores flat, so it won’t take up much room when it’s not in use. The bed is best for pets up to 25 pounds.

7. NIBESSER Christmas Tree

This adorable Christmas tree bed from NIBESSER is made with a soft lint fabric to keep your dog warm on cold winter nights. The cotton cushion inside is detachable and has a zipper so you can slip off the cover and wash it. The bottom has an anti-skid and waterproof material so your big won’t be sliding all over the floor and will keep your flooring dry if your dog has an accident inside. It is pressure-resistant and won’t deform under pressure like many other shaped pet beds. The Christmas tree portion of the bed is removable so that you can use the bottom part all year round.

The Christmas tree pom poms come off relatively easily, so keep an eye on your dog if you know it’s a chewer.

8. American Kennel Club AKC

We love this pet bed from the AKC because it’s not only beautiful and Christmas-y, but it’s comfortable as well. It comes in two sizes—22-inches or 25-inches—and in several colors (but we prefer the burgundy). Since it has such a classic look, this bed can be used all year round, giving you more value for your investment. The bed is extra warm thanks to self-heating technology which will help your pup feel relaxed and comfortable for its naps. It is machine washable with cold temperatures and can be tumbled dry on low.

There are some reports that the stuffing in the cushion is a bit noisy, causing a plastic bag crinkle sound whenever dogs enter or exit.

9. Akewell

This pretty red and white bed from Akewell is a beautiful pick if you’re searching for a dog bed you can use throughout the winter. Though the design is Christmas-y, it’s also wintery, so you can leave it out all season long. This nest-like bed provides your pooch with a warm and comfortable place to lay its head at night. The round shape is perfect for dogs who like to curl up, and the raised sides can support its head and neck. The bottom has an anti-slip and waterproof material, and the bed is machine washable on a gentle cycle. That said, there are no removable parts to the bed, so the entire thing will need to go in the washing machine. If you have a small capacity washer, you might consider a different bed.

10. Hollypet Plush Rectangle Nest

Hollypet hit it out of the park again with the beautiful and chic pet bed. The manufacturer suggests that their rectangular bed is suitable for medium-sized dogs, but be sure to check the measurements as there are reports that it is smaller than expected. It has a comfortable plush fabric that will lull your pup to sleep. It is durably made with strong stitches and has a thick cloth base for abrasion resistance. Unfortunately, the base does not have anti-skid material which can present a problem if you have hardwood flooring or an older dog that needs the extra traction to get in and out of bed.

The manufacturer does not recommend washing this in the washing machine.

Buyer’s Guide: How to Find the Best Christmas Dog Bed

If only choosing the perfect Christmas dog bed for your pup was as easy as picking the one you think is the prettiest or the one that will match your holiday décor best. Unfortunately, the decision-making process should be a bit more involved than that. There are several factors you should consider before hitting Add to Cart. Keep reading to learn how to find the best Christmas dog bed.

Size

Be sure to take note of the measurements we included for every bed above. Though the product listings may suggest that the bed is perfect for a certain breed size, you will not know for sure if it will be right for your dog unless you take the measurements. Use your measuring tape to see how long and wide your dog is when it lies down to get a rough idea of what size you should be shopping for.

Materials

The materials of your dog’s new bed will determine its comfort, warmth, durability, and how easy it is to care for.

If you buy a bed made with uncomfortable or scratchy materials, your dog probably won’t want to sleep there. Instead, look for beds made with cozy and plush fabrics to entice your pup to use its bed at naptime.

Some of the beds we reviewed above are made with unique self-heating materials. This is an excellent pick if your dog is always snuggling under your blankets or if they run cold during winter.

You’ll want a more durable material if your dog is a chewer. Avoid any material that can be chewed or eaten, especially fabric and fibers.

You’ll need to clean the bed at some point, so consider the material type and how easy it is to take care of. A washable and waterproof bed is perfect for puppies or seniors who may occasionally have an accident in bed. How important is it that your new bed is machine washable? Keep that in mind as you shop as not all beds are meant to be put in the washer, and some that are machine washable are too big for smaller washing machines.

Support

Dog bed manufacturers understand that not every dog who uses their beds are young puppies which is why many beds now have some type of orthopedic support. Dogs with conditions like arthritis or hip dysplasia will need a bed that supports their joints.

If your dog needs a little more support from its bed, look for one with a plush bolster and a non-skid bottom. The bolster is perfect for keeping the neck and head aligned, and the non-stick bottom provides the stability your dog will need when entering and exiting the bed.

How Can I Get My Dog to Use Its New Bed?

So, you’ve finally decided on the perfect Christmas dog bed, but now that it’s arrived at your home, your dog turns your nose up at it; now what? You don’t need to slap a return sticker on your bed, as your pup may just need some time to get accustomed to its new bed.

Sometimes dogs may avoid a new bed because it doesn’t care for the smell. You can try running it through the wash if it is machine washable or giving it a few days to air out a bit before trying to introduce your dog to it.

If that doesn’t work, put your dog’s favorite blanket or toy in the bed to try and coax it to check it out. This will create a positive association with the bed while also putting familiar scents onto it.

Praise your pup every time it goes to the bed and offer treats to try and create more positive associations.

How Can I Prevent My Dog from Destroying Its Bed?

Dogs may destroy their beds for several reasons, like if they’re teething, wanting attention, or if they’re hungry. If you’re concerned your dog will chew up its new Christmas bed, you can try one of the solutions below to keep the bed safe from harm.

Train them not to chew on their bed by saying “no” firmly and offering an appropriate chew toy whenever you see them gnawing on the bed. Then, give them a treat and infinite praise when they opt for the toy instead of the bed.

If your dog is chewing its bed because it’s anxious, try creating a calmer environment by playing soothing music or moving the bed to a less stressful room of the home.

Distraction is a great technique to stop your dog from destructive behavior. For example, when your dog starts chewing on the bed, take it outside to play or go for a walk. Exercise is vital for dogs to prevent boredom and to ensure their energy is spent on more productive and less destructive activities.

Final Thoughts

Frisco’s Gingerbread House combines a holiday-inspired design and unparalleled comfort for the best overall Christmas dog bed. For those on a tight budget, Aspen Pet’s bed provides a cozy, self-warming bed at a price that’s affordable for every budget. Finally, Frisco’s Nordic Fair gift set is the clear winner for our premium pick, thanks to its beautiful design and plush bed and blanket.

Hopefully, our reviews have helped you find the perfect Christmas dog bed for your pooch this holiday season. Any of the above picks will keep your pup cozy and comfortable and your home beautifully decorated for the holidays.
