An original brand offering elegantly styled yet practical items for your faithful friend. Made in En
(39)

After a long walk our handmade beds are the perfect retreat for your faithful friend; providing superior comfort and support our deep-filled luxurious dog beds are available in a range of sizes, with soft fabric covers to snuggle in to. The covers on our beds are easily removed and machine washable. An optional waterproof liner provides protection and longevity to the inner cushion, and helps to m

aintain a fresh bed. As all our products are handmade by our seamstresses here in our studio in the Lincolnshire Wolds we can happily accommodate requests to customise your bed (if you would prefer Velcro closures instead of zips, for example), and our fully bespoke service, where we work with you to design a bed to your specification, coordinating with your home.

𝗪𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗮 𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 & 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲 𝟱𝘁𝗵 𝗡𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 🔥
A great night for those who enjoy it…a scary night for those who don’t. There’s been some very loud fireworks near us and I’ve made a few dashes outside to check the horses, then back in to check on the dogs!
I’m feeling very relieved to have horses that don’t seem at all phased by fireworks (well done to the oldies for showing the youngsters they’re not scary), however, Rocky & Buster aren’t so happy!
TV loud, cuddles all round and a cosy blanket to snuggle under is helping here.
Hope your doggos and other pets are managing ok, here’s to quieter nights from now 🙏

The next few days could be extra scary for your dog with trick or treaters calling by in spooky outfits and fireworks soon after, so here’s some tips to help keep your dog as stress free as possible:
- display a lit pumpkin if you’d like people to stop by, don’t put a pumpkin out if you’d prefer not to be disturbed
- if your dog is reactive to visitors but you’d like to be part of the festivities leave a cauldron of sweets with a sign outside for trick-or-treaters to help themselves 🎃
- play relaxing music like classical or calming podcasts, it can help to distract your dog from noises outside. On fireworks night Classic FM even host a special show for pets!
- create a quiet, cosy space for your dog to escape to and feel safe in. Our Den Beds & Snuggle Sacks are a great place for any pet to retreat into.
- try a pheromone plug-in or spray to help lower their stress
- discuss with your vet if there are any treatments that may benefit your dog 🐾

𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗼𝘀𝘁: 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗱 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗕𝗶𝘇 𝗢𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲!
I don’t often write posts like this, but as we were making orders today I had one of those ‘pinch me’ moments when I realised just how far Designed for Dogs has come.

8 years ago Designed for Dogs was just an idea (maybe a slightly crazy one too!) and soon started as just me in a studio at home with Buster & Rocky for company.

3 years ago we moved into our current, much larger premises, and now our products are enjoyed by dogs across the world - just this week we have posted orders to Australia, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Switzerland and the USA!

And seeing these just from this morning all stacked up really hit home & made me feel so proud of our little team. We’re all a bit camera-shy so you don’t see our faces often but they really are an amazing bunch: hard working, dedicated and great fun to work with.

I can’t thank the team, our customers and followers enough for turning a dream into a reality and helping this small business to grow and grow ❤️

Oh, and 8 years later how lucky are we to have Buster & Rocky still keeping us company 🐾

Did you know our Picnic Pads come in 4 standard sizes - Small to XL, and if you’d like a different size just send us an email as our team can make it mat exactly how you’d like.

Our Story

Before we brought home our rescue pup, Rocky, we wanted to buy him a bed that we could easily wash, and that would look nice in our home. We were dismayed that so many beds labelled 'washable' meant putting the entire bed in the washing machine! Not only were most beds too big for a typical machine but they rarely come out the same shape or softness. The covers were often poor quality with a limited choice of colours & patterns. And we'd always found with previous beds that many fibre fillings go 'flat' very quickly, losing their comfort and support.

Frustrated by this we spent the following months speaking to other dog owners, researching and testing materials, and over time have created our own range of beds. Living in the countryside has inspired our country-themed fabrics, and also provides the perfect testing ground for durability and washability!

Our products aren't the cheapest out there, but they are certainly not the most expensive either. We carefully select the very best materials and the prices truly reflect the quality of the product. In buying from Designed for Dogs we are confident you are buying a product that will last well and still look great.

We also offer a full bespoke service so if you are looking for a certain something, please contact us and we will create it for you!
