Top 6 Best Friends By Sheri Calming Dog Beds

Small pets often need a cozy, secure spot to help them feel safe and relaxed, especially if they are prone to anxiety or like to burrow. A well-designed calming bed can make a noticeable difference in their daily comfort and rest quality.

This small donut bed from Best Friends by Sheri is ideal for cats and small dogs up to 25 lbs who crave warmth and gentle support. Its plush shag faux fur and deep, round shape provide a soothing environment, making it a great choice for pets who love to curl up.

• Compact 23" x 23" size: Fits small pets and tight spaces with a 17" sleeping surface
• Machine washable construction: Entire bed can be washed for easy maintenance
• Raised-edge bolsters: Offers gentle orthopedic support for joints and muscles

Compared to typical flat mats or less supportive beds, this model prioritizes a sense of security and ease of cleaning. However, it is best suited for smaller pets and may not accommodate larger breeds.

Medium-sized dogs often struggle to find beds that provide both ample space and a calming, supportive shape. Many standard beds lack the plushness or security features that help pets settle in for restful sleep.

This medium donut bed is a standout for medium breeds up to 45 lbs, offering a 30" x 30" footprint and a 23" sleeping surface. The lux faux fur and raised bolsters create a cozy, nest-like feel, while the removable, machine-washable cover makes upkeep simple for busy pet owners.

• Spacious 30" x 30" size: Accommodates medium dogs comfortably
• Removable washable cover: Simplifies cleaning and extends bed life
• Raised-edge bolsters: Provide orthopedic support and a sense of security

Unlike smaller or less structured beds, this option balances generous sizing with easy maintenance. The main tradeoff is that it may be too large for very small spaces or pets.

Pets that love to curl up and snuggle benefit from beds that mimic the warmth and comfort of a mother's fur. Many basic beds fall short in providing this plush, enveloping feel.

This plush donut bed is designed for cats and small dogs up to 25 lbs, featuring lux faux fur and a deep, round shape that encourages restful naps. Its machine-washable construction and water-resistant bottom make it a practical choice for everyday use.

• Lux faux fur fabric: Delivers extra softness and warmth
• 23" x 23" size: Suits small pets and fits in most spaces
• Easy-care design: Entire bed is machine washable for hassle-free cleaning

Compared to flat or thin mats, this bed prioritizes plushness and a secure, nest-like environment. The tradeoff is that it is not suitable for larger pets or those who prefer to stretch out.

Pet owners concerned about safety and hypoallergenic materials often struggle to find beds that are both comfortable and free from harsh chemicals. Many beds on the market do not meet strict safety standards.

This calming donut bed in lavender stands out for its Consumer Product Safety Commission-tested materials, ensuring it is free from flame retardants, formaldehyde, and harsh dyes. Its 30" x 30" size is ideal for medium pets who need both comfort and peace of mind.

• Certified pet-safe materials: Tested for safety and free from irritants
• Removable washable shell: Simplifies cleaning for medium and larger sizes
• Water and dirt-resistant base: Protects floors from accidents

Unlike standard beds, this model prioritizes safety and hypoallergenic design. The tradeoff is that it may have a more limited color selection and specific care instructions.

Some pets prefer the flexibility of a blanket for comfort, warmth, or travel. Typical pet blankets may lack the plushness or calming effect that helps reduce anxiety.

This small calming shag blanket is designed to mimic the feel of a mother's fur, making it ideal for cats and small dogs who love to cuddle or burrow. Its lightweight design and machine-washable fabric make it easy to use at home or on the go.

• Ultra-soft faux shag fur: Provides soothing warmth and comfort
• 30" x 40" size: Suitable for small to medium pets
• Machine washable: Maintains hygiene with minimal effort

Compared to standard throws, this blanket prioritizes softness and anxiety relief. The main tradeoff is that it does not offer the structure or support of a traditional bed.

Large dogs and pets who like to stretch out often find donut beds too confining. Many beds for bigger breeds lack both support and easy entry for pets with mobility issues.

The Lux Lounge Bed offers a rectangular, low-profile design that makes it easy for large dogs (up to 75 lbs) to get in and out. Its blend of shredded foam and polyfill provides orthopedic support, while the removable, machine-washable cover ensures hassle-free care.

• Large 36" x 27" size: Accommodates big dogs or multiple pets
• Low front entry: Ideal for pets with limited mobility
• Removable washable cover: Simplifies cleaning and maintenance

Compared to round or smaller beds, this option prioritizes space and accessibility. The tradeoff is that it takes up more floor space and may not offer the same nest-like feel as donut beds.
