Description
A hooded calming dog bed for dogs that burrow under blankets. A padded cuddler base with a soft hood over the top, so your dog is walled in and roofed in. It cuts out light, noise and draughts and traps body heat, creating a cosy den where anxious and cold dogs can switch off. Silver Fox is a cool long pile grey with pale tips that looks like furniture rather than a pet bed.
| Best for | Dogs that burrow under the doona, anxious or light sleepers, thin coated dogs that feel the cold (Whippets, Greyhounds, small terriers), toy to medium dogs, cats |
| Not ideal for | Dogs that sleep stretched out flat, dogs that run hot or have a thick double coat, dogs over about 25kg (try the Calming Cuddler) |
Which size do I need?
| Size | Suits | Breed examples | Sleeping area | Overall size |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small | Toy dogs under 5kg and cats | Chihuahua, Papillon, Maltese | 30cm | 50cm wide, 40cm high |
| Medium | Small dogs 5 to 10kg | Jack Russell, Cavalier, Pug | 40cm | 70cm wide, 44cm high |
| Large | Medium dogs 10 to 25kg | Beagle, Whippet, Terrier | 50cm | 90cm wide, 54cm high |
The sleeping area is the pocket inside the rim and hood. A Large is 90cm across the outside but gives your dog a 50cm pocket. Also check the height: the hood is fixed, so a dog that likes to sit up needs enough headroom. The largest size suits medium dogs.
Measure your dog in 30 seconds
- Wait until your dog is lying down in their usual sleeping position.
- Measure from the tip of the nose to the base of the tail.
- Add 15 to 20cm. That number should fit within the sleeping area in the table above.
Between two sizes? Choose the bigger one. A bed that is too small is the number one reason dog beds get sent back.
Why dog owners choose it
- A ready made den: the hood gives burrowing dogs the enclosed hideaway they would otherwise make out of your blankets.
- Designed to calm: blocking light, movement and noise helps nervous dogs stop watching the room and fall asleep.
- Extra warm: the hood traps body heat, ideal for thin coated and older dogs in winter.
- Fully washable: hood and base covers come off through hidden zips, and the fill can be washed too.

Frequently asked questions
Will my dog fit under the hood?
Check your dog sitting height against the hood height (40, 44 or 54cm). If they have to duck low to get in, choose the next size up.
My dog is 9kg. Medium or Large?
Measure them. If your dog curls tightly the Medium suits, but if they like room to turn around, take the Large.
Is it suitable for cats?
Yes, cats love the hooded shape. The Small suits most cats.
Does it have a non-slip base?
Snooza does not list a non-slip base for this model, so on polished floors a rug underneath helps.
Is there another colour?
Yes, the same bed is available in Mink.
What if the size is wrong?
Please measure your dog and check the size guide before ordering. Change of mind returns are accepted within 14 days of delivery if the bed is unused and in its original packaging, with return postage paid by the customer. See our returns policy for details.
