Buy this bed for the dog. My friend's dog has been conditioned to sleep in arm chairs, beds and couches. The spoiled rotten pooch just got even more spoiled after I read the other reviews and purchased this bed for her. Now as soon as she comes to visit she heads straight for it and plunks down without stirring at all. Amazing! He's impressed too. She's a 40 pound terrier and the Large fits fine. Anything smaller would be too cramped. The high sides and cozy bottom make the dog feel nestled and safe. It's tempting to crawl in there myself.
My Labrador Retriever LOVES this bed. It's much bigger than she needs but she luxuriates in it. She will even give up sleeping on our bed as long as this bed is in the bedroom with us.
I just recieved this bed today and it seems to be well made. My 8lb maltese took to it right away however I ordered the small and he fits but just barely. He likes to stretch out when he lays down and his body covers from side to side when laying in it. I just reordered the large size and will probaly send the small back. I really thought the small would be big enough with his weight. I would suggest you consider how your dog sleeps before ordering. If he was a curler he would have plenty of room but all stretched out its a close fit. It is a very nice bed with lots of stuffing and the quality I expect from llbean.
I ordered this bed for my Shiba Inu and she loves it. I have 2 Shiba Inu's and a Siberian Husky. My second Shiba loves the bed also, so I ordered another one for her. One weighs 17 lbs. and the other weighs 25 lbs. I took the advice of another person and ordered the size large and its perfect. It's a little too small for my Siberian Husky so I won't be getting her one. It's made very well and its very attractive. I'm so glad I ordered them. L.L. Bean has the best quality products.
