When to Choose Best Friends by Sheri Calming Donut
Anxious dogs who benefit from a plush, nest-like calming bed design
The Best Friends by Sheri Calming Donut is the original viral calming bed for a reason — the shag fur and deep bolster create a genuinely cozy nesting experience. It works well for anxious dogs who like to burrow. The lack of orthopedic foam and high-maintenance shag material are the trade-offs.
Strengths
- Shag fur lining mimics the feel of a mother's coat — genuinely calming for anxious dogs
- Round bolster design creates a 360-degree rim for head and neck support
- Available in multiple sizes and colors to match home decor
Limitations
- Shag fur traps hair and debris — requires frequent vacuuming between washes
- Fill can clump and flatten after machine washing if not dried properly
- No orthopedic foam — fill is recycled polyester, not memory foam
When to Choose Snoozer Cozy Cave
Burrowers and dogs who love to hide under blankets and seek enclosed spaces
The Snoozer Cozy Cave is in a category of its own — a hooded cave bed that lets dogs burrow in and feel completely enclosed. If your dog dives under blankets or hides in small spaces, this is designed specifically for that behavior. The trade-off is heat retention and cleaning complexity.
Strengths
- Unique hooded cave design lets dogs burrow and feel completely enclosed
- Made in the USA with a wide selection of fabrics and colors
- Sherpa-lined interior provides warmth and a den-like sleeping experience
Limitations
- Cave/hood design may not suit dogs that prefer to stretch out
- Interior can trap heat — not ideal for dogs that overheat easily
- Dry cleaning recommended for some fabric options, limiting convenience
