Buying Guide
It’s safe to say that there are hundreds and hundreds of dog beds out there, so unless you know what you are looking for, it is hard to know where to start. It is also true that it is trickier finding a dog bed suitable for the giant Rottweiler. So let’s start by showing you what you need to consider and look out for when thinking about a bed for your Rottweiler.
Reason For a Bed
Firstly, you need to think about what his bed is for? Is it his bed for nighttime sleeping? Or is it a second bed for daytime yard chilling? Whatever it is, you need to make sure that it fulfills the purpose you want it to. Your needs will be different if you are training a puppy than if you have an older adult that’s already bed trained. However, if you are looking at buying a bed to last a lifetime, stick to the best quality you can comfortably afford.
If it’s an upgrade from his current bed, you need to take a look at what you did and didn’t like about the bed. Use this to help you decide on the next one.
Size & Sleeping Position
You’ll need to dust off those scales or whip out your vet’s logbook before you buy a bed as you need to know how heavy your Rottweiler is. A poor quality bed is not going to be a match for your 80 to 135-pound Rottweiler. Most beds will state a limit as to what weight they can handle, so you need to know how big your baby is.
You also need to know what sleeping position he prefers, because this might dictate what style of bed you choose. Does he like to curl up and feel protected? Maybe a bolstered bed would be the best option for him. Or if he prefers to starfish and spread his legs out any which way, a flat mattress style bed would be the better option.
If you’ve never thought about his sleeping position, watch him for a few nights, and get a feel of how he prefers to sleep. After all, if it isn’t what he wants, he probably isn’t going to use it.
Comfort
It goes without saying that his bed needs to be comfortable, otherwise, he might as well sleep in your bed. The bed, especially the base, shouldn’t be thin and flimsy. Look for beds that are made from memory foam or orthopedic foam. It can be made with a mixture of materials with a little polyester content, but foam should be the most prominent component.
The Rottweiler has a weighty body, so the base needs to be thick and cushioned to be able to withstand his weight. If the base is thin and flimsy, his body will sink to the floor. Look for a base that is several inches thick. Cushioning is also super important because many Rottweilers suffer from elbow and hip dysplasia, and their joints need extra support from a thick base.
Age
If you have a puppy Rottie, you need to think about whether you want to invest in an expensive bed. Or maybe you’d prefer a cheaper one so that it doesn’t matter if he destroys it. Equally, if he is house training, you will want to buy one that is water-resistant and easy to clean.
If you have an older Rottie, you should purchase a bed that is made with orthopedic foam. They will provide extra support for his joints, more so than memory foam. If he suffers from incontinence in his old age, it’s also a good idea to look for a water-resistant bed.
Durable Materials
Look for materials that are durable and last longer. Materials such as canvas, cotton, and nylon are strong and last longer than cheaper alternatives. Many beds will state that they are chew proof or anti-tear, meaning that they will survive the nesting ritual that most dogs do before bedtime.
Easy to Clean
No matter what age your Rottie is, the bed needs to be easy to clean. Many beds will have a water-resistant cover so that you can unzip it and chuck it into the washing machine. Even if your Rottie is housetrained, there will be times where he’ll have a poorly tummy, and you’ll be the one to clear it up. Always read label instructions.
Allergies
If your pooch suffers from allergies or has sensitive skin, it is a good idea to invest in a hypoallergenic bed. These beds are tightly woven, so that dust mites, dead skin, and oils do not get trapped in the materials. And it is this that aggravates sensitive pooches. Although they tend to be slightly more expensive than non-hypoallergenic beds, it could save you a fortune in vet bills.
Budget
Although you don’t need to buy the most expensive bed, you certainly get what you pay for. Always buy the best bed that you can afford. It will last you much longer and therefore be better value for money. High-quality beds will also come with a guarantee of some sort. If the manufacturer believes in their quality, you can rest assured they are well made.
Best Rottweiler Dog Beds
Rotties will need a different bed type due to their size. A medium to large-sized breed like the German Shepherd will need a larger bed, whereas the Rottie will likely need a large to extra large.
