✅ Sleeping bags for dogs

What do you need to look for in a sleeping bag for your dog? Well it depends. Sleeping bags range from the super snuggly for sub zero temperatures to more lightweight versions that really just provide your dog with their own space to settle down in warmer climates.

A day spent outside might leave your dog muddy and wet so having somewhere for your dog to sleep that can withstand different weather conditions is important.

So what should you look for?

Weatherproofing

If your dog ends up damp and muddy, you’ll want a sleeping bag for them that’s not going to absorb moisture. If you’re planning to use the sleeping bag outside as well as inside your tent, you need to make sure the bag is windproof so your dog can shield against the elements if they decide to take a break for a nap!

Durability

Your dogs sleeping bag needs to be durable. If you’re a seasoned camper, the bag will get rolled up tightly over and over and so it needs to be tough enough to be packed and unpacked multiple times. Some dogs also dig before they settle down…so the sleeping bag must be tear proof to keep the outer cover intact.

Portable

Loading up your car for a camping trip never leaves much space left, so whichever sleeping bag you end up getting for your dog need to be light enough to move around easily, and pack away as small as possible while you’re travelling. A carry case with handles is also a good idea, but some do have these built into the sleeping bag.

Easy to clean

After every camping trip, you dogs sleeping bag will probably need a good clean. A bag that can go in a hot wash is a must for us, and being able to go into the tumble dryer to fluff it back up again is pretty handy too.

Versatility

A sleeping bag that can open right out and double as a mat for your dog is really handy. You can use this as a resting place for your dog while you’re out and about then zip it up at night for them to snuggle down in!
