Oh Dachshunds, they are absolutely one of the cutest dog breeds around!
But more than just waddling around with their teeny little legs that don’t fit their bodies; these little dogs are incredibly smart, and energetic balls of love.
But are there certain considerations you have to think about when you have a Dachshund or are thinking of bringing one into your home?
Quick look: Top 5 Best Dog Beds for Dachshund
Because this is a pretty short breed, you do need to make sure that your home is accessible.
And that includes finding the best dog beds for dachshund that he can easily get in and out of.
1. MidWest Deluxe Bolster
This ultra-thin pet bed from Midwest is the best bed for a dachshund with severe mobility issues.
The height of this bed means that your dog can have some level of padding to lie on, without aggravating joint conditions.
Coming in Cinnamon, Gray, Pink, Powder Blue or White – there are plenty of options to fit with anyone’s home decor.
This lightweight bed is easy to travel with, fold it up, pop it in a bag, and you’re ready to go.
Keep your little sausage dog cozy with this cute bed, but if he’s known to chew up beds – this is not the bed for you.
One of the greatest things about this bed is that it’s lightweight and thin, but that means that it’s not heavy duty enough for dogs that like to eat their beds!
This bed is both machine-washable on a cold cycle, and tumble dryer safe if on a low heat setting.
After washing and drying it’s a good idea to plump up the bed by shaking it out a bit, otherwise, it can lose its fluffiness quite quickly.
Pros
- Low step-up ideal for arthritic Dachshunds
- Ideal for putting into a crate
- Polycotton base with polyester filled bolsters
- Multiple color options to fit into any home
- Folds for easy storage or travel
- Incredibly lightweight
Cons
- Not suitable for dogs that are prone to chewing
- Thin and doesn’t last very long
2. Blueberry Pet
This thick, squishy bed is the ideal nesting spot for even the most pampered pooch!
With ten highly unique designs and colors to choose from, there’s something to suit every owners (and Dachshunds) taste!
With overstuffed side cushions for your little prince or princess to rest their teeny tiny head, what better life could a Dachshund ask for?!
The bed does require some assembly to zip all of the cushion together, but it’s worth the hassle for a machine washable, tumble dryer safe bed that will last.
It’s worth mentioning that while the height at the top of the side cushions is twelve inches, the step up into the entrance is more like six or seven inches which isn’t too tall, even for Dash puppies.
Coming in two different sizes, the small is the best bed for dachshund homes with only one pooch, but if you’re lucky enough to have a miniature herd of these lovable pooches – you could get the big version and have a communal nest for everyone!
Pros
- Ten pattern and color choices
- Heavy-duty canvas cover built to last
- Super duper squishy inner for ultimate Dachshund luxury
- High-quality YKK zips
Cons
- Could be too tall for older Dachshunds or the particularly lazy ones
3. Best Pet Supplies
This triangle-shaped dog tent bed makes our list because of its innovative design that allows nervous dogs to have a safe zone.
The tent shape of this bed makes it inviting for your pup, but also easy to find a spot to put it in the home.
Coming in five different colors, Corduroy Beige, Dark Brown, Gray, Linen Beige, and Tan – these beds will be right at home next to your couch in the living room.
With the removable inner cushion, it’s easy to keep this bed clean or replace the cushion with your dog’s favorite one.
Crafted out of polyfoam, with a linen outer cover – this bed has been designed to last for a long time, not become misshapen, and stay as cozy as ever!
Pros
- Ideal for nervous dogs as it gives them a safe zone
- Long-lasting design
- Sturdy materials used
Cons
- No grip pads for slippy floors means that the bed can move around as your dog tries to get in and out
- Sizes run very small
4. BRINDLE
This bed comes with the most impressive warranty for a whopping three years!
They clearly believe in the quality of their products.
Filled with shredded orthopedic memory foam to protect your little Dachshunds joints from pressure points, and to encourage ventilation.
Beautifully designed microsuede cover comes in Khaki, Red, Stone, and Teal and is washing machine and tumble dryer safe.
It’s important to note that only the cover is machine washable, and trying to wash the entire bed would likely ruin the memory foam.
Choose from seven different sizes depending on the size of your dog – or if you have multiple animals who all like to snuggle!
The bed comes vacuum packed so seems thin upon first getting it home, but as soon as you unpack it – it puffs up and wow is there a lot of comfy bedding for your Dash to enjoy.
Pros
- Three-inch shredded orthopedic memory foam padding eliminates pressure points
- Four color options
- Microsuede cover
- Long-lasting materials designed to hold its shape for years
- Three-year warranty
Cons
- Not suitable for dogs that enjoy ripping their beds to shreds
5. PetFusion Ultimate
This high-quality dog bed looks as though it would be more at home in a five-star hotel than your rural living room.
For the fancier pooches, they can enjoy a thick memory foam base covered with a poly/cotton twill cover which is not only water-resistant, but it also features an anti-slip bottom.
This is the bed to avoid those embarrassing moments when your dog falls getting in and out of bed – and you have to pretend you didn’t see!
For the pups that like to play on their beds, don’t worry about their claws ruining their bed with this tear-resistant bed.
Even though this bed only comes in one color, the fact that it’s a smart gray with white piping makes it work in any home.
The height of the entire bed including bolster cushions comes in at 5.5 inches, but the base of the bed that your Dashie will step up onto is a manageable 2 inches.
Pros
- Made of certified high-density memory foam
- Nestle space under the bolster cushions for extra cozy Dachshund legs
Cons
- Only comes in one color
Bottom Line
You know that saying “Saving the best till last,” well it seems as though we did that entirely by accident.
Our winner of the best bed for a dachshund award goes to…
Drum roll, please…
The PetFusion Ultimate Pet Bed and Lounge!
We were incredibly impressed with the quality of materials used for all areas of the bed, from inner filling to outer cover.
This low bed is a perfect height for our tiny legged Dachshunds, and we couldn’t imagine a more comfortable place for them to sleep!
