Product Review: Dog Beds
Just like us, puppies need a comfortable and supportive place to sleep – preferably one they won’t be able to rip to shreds! So, we’ve done the research and found the best dog beds on the Australian market at the moment.
Best bed overall – PlushMat! Orthopaedic pet bed, $159.95 for small

Soft high walls are perfect to protect your buddy while allowing them to flop their heads over the side.
