How to determine the best cot size for your pet

What is the size and weight of your pet?

Small breeds and cats: 22x22″ (holds up to 68kg) 

Medium to large breeds: 30x22" or 40x22" (holds up to 58kg), 30x30" or 40x40" (holds up to 45kg), 40x30" (holds up to 55kg)

Large breeds like GSD and Great Danes: 52″ x 30″ (holds up to 58kg)

Does your pet like to curl up or stretch out?

The square size is great for pets who like to snuggle or curl, while the rectangle is best for stretching out.

Will he/she be sharing with another pet?

Depending on the size of your pets, most can share any size cot. Heavier multiple pets should use a rectangle cot, while smaller breeds love the square shape.

Square cot vs rectangle - which should you choose?

The pet’s weight gravitates to the centre of a square cot. A heavier pet should use the rectangle cot as their weight would be better distributed. Rectangles conveniently fit under most furniture and upright in a closet when not in use.

How much space do you have?

Measure the area where your pet is resting. We recommend that you tape off the area with masking tape, then select a cot size that’s closest to those measurements.
