Description

Round orthopedic cave dog bed

Covered.
And Washable.

The Orthopedic Cozy Cave® is a round, hooded dog bed: a Sherpa-lined cave on top, a 3-inch orthopedic foam base underneath, and a Classic Cotton cover that zips off for the wash.

It is for any dog who ends up under your blankets, from a Chihuahua to a German Shorthaired Pointer, and for anyone who wants a dog bed that stays level and comes clean. Your dog gets a warm place to burrow. You get your side of the bed back.

How it works

A cover for the dog.
A cover for the wash.

Most dog beds with a cover mean one thing: a shell you can launder. This one means two. The hood covers your dog like a blanket, and the outer cover unzips so the part that gets dirty is never stuck on the bed.

The hood does the tucking inA flexible tube holds the Sherpa-lined hood open, so your dog can nose in alone in the middle of the night without waking you.

The orthopedic base

Firmer than fill.
Softer than it sounds.

Under the Sherpa sits a 3-inch orthopedic foam base with a cedar-poly topper on top of it. The foam gives a steadier surface than a loose-fill pillow, and the topper takes the edge off. It is a firmer bed than the original Cozy Cave, so dogs who love to dig themselves a nest may still prefer that one. That steady surface is why owners often choose it for an older dog, or for any dog who just settles better on something firmer. The topper is filled with the same cedar-poly blend as the original Cozy Cave pillow, just in a thinner layer.

The base layer. It is made to keep its shape instead of packing down where your dog always lies.

Cedar-poly topper included

A softer layer over the foam, so the first thing they feel is give, not firmness.

Same feel every night

Foam does not shift like loose fill. The bed your dog circles into tonight is the bed it was last month.

The Sherpa sleep surface

The part they actually touch.

Your dog never lies on foam or cotton. Inside the cave, above and below, it is all Sherpa: a thick, cruelty-free pile made to feel plush.

What your dog feels

The moment your dog noses in, the high pile gives like a plush blanket under every paw and cheek.

Classic Cotton

A cover built for the washing machine.

Classic Cotton is the fabric the Cozy Cave started in: a sturdy poly-cotton with a canvas feel that does not stretch out of shape. When it needs a wash, unzip it, slide out the foam, and run the cover through the machine.

Poly-cotton, canvas feel

Cotton for softness, polyester for strength, woven tight enough to hold a tailored shape.

Off with one zipper

The cover comes away from the base, so you wash fabric, not a whole bed.

Sturdy enough for puppies

It is the cover we suggest first for young dogs and busy paws.

Who it’s for

For the dog who
steals your covers.

The Cozy Cave exists because some dogs will not sleep without a blanket over them. German Shorthaired Pointers and Vizslas come up in our reviews more than any other breeds, with Dachshunds, Whippets and terriers close behind. If yours has started waking you to be tucked back in, this gives them a blanket of their own, on a base that feels the same every night.

Find their size

Measure nose to tail.
Then size up.

Measure your dog from the tip of the nose to the base of the tail and match it to the body-length range on each card. Small fits dogs like Chihuahuas and Dachshunds, Large fits Boston Terriers, Frenchies and Beagles, and Extra Large fits Vizslas and German Shorthaired Pointers. The most repeated advice in our reviews: if you are between sizes, go up.

“My 2 GSP’s can’t sleep through the night without them. They would wake me up wanting to be covered up. Now they sleep all night.”

“Our other 80lb princess took it over so we had to get another one for our burrower to snug up inside. They are very well made, washable, and seem to last.”

Questions owners ask

Is the cover really machine washable?

Yes. The Classic Cotton cover zips off the foam base and goes in the washing machine. The cover is the washable part of this bed. The foam base stays out of the machine.

Is it a good bed for an older dog?

It is one of the most common reasons people pick the orthopedic version. The foam base stays level and does not sink the way loose fill can, and the topper keeps it comfortable. Plenty of younger dogs simply prefer a firmer bed too.

Will my dog figure out the hood?

Many owners say their dog went straight in. The tube holds the opening up so they can see the way inside. If yours hesitates, take the tube out so the hood lies flat like a blanket, then put it back once they have the idea.

Orthopedic or original: which Cozy Cave should I get?

The original has a loose cedar-and-poly pillow a dog can dig and nest into. This one has a firmer foam base that stays level. Choose orthopedic for a steady surface, and the original for a dog who likes to rearrange the bed first.

What size should I get?

Measure nose to base of tail. Small (25 inches across) suits dogs up to about 15 inches long, Large (35 inches) up to 25, and Extra Large (45 inches) up to 40. One owner’s 55 lb Vizsla sleeps in an Extra Large. Between sizes, go up.

Can I take the tube out of the hood?

Yes. It is removable, and plenty of owners leave it out so the hood works like a loose blanket their dog can pull over.

Handmade in South Carolina

Sewn to order in Piedmont, South Carolina.

Snoozer has made dog beds in South Carolina since 1985, and the Cozy Cave is the one the company is known for. Yours is cut and sewn after you order it, in your size and color, then checked by hand before it leaves.

Made after you order

Nothing is pulled from a warehouse shelf. Your bed starts when you check out.

Checked by a person

Each bed is inspected by hand before it is boxed.

Four decades in

Family-owned since 1985, and still making the original Cozy Cave.

Refresh, don’t replace

Keep the bed. Replace the cover.

Years of digging and washing eventually show on any fabric. When they do, a new Orthopedic Cozy Cave cover zips over the foam your dog already sleeps on.
