The Big Snooze Pro — Orthopedic Memory Foam Dog Bed with Washable Cover

Your dog deserves better than a thin, flat bed that goes flat in a week.

The Big Snooze Pro is our premium orthopedic dog bed, built with high-density memory foam that holds its shape night after night. It evenly distributes your dog's weight to reduce pressure on hips, elbows, and joints — giving them the deep, restorative sleep they need.

The memory foam runs through the full depth of the bed — not just a thin top layer over standard stuffing — so it won't compress flat within weeks like cheaper "orthopedic" beds do.

Designed for UK homes. Loved by dogs of all ages.

How Does The Big Snooze Pro Compare?

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this orthopedic vs a regular dog bed?
Regular dog beds are usually stuffed with polyester filling, which feels soft at first but compresses quickly and stops supporting your dog's joints. The Big Snooze Pro uses high-density memory foam that's engineered to hold its shape and evenly distribute your dog's weight, taking pressure off hips, elbows, and spine rather than just cushioning them.

What size dog is this suitable for?
We offer three sizes to suit most dogs: Medium (ideal for Spaniels, Beagles, and French Bulldogs up to 20kg), Large (Labradors, Border Collies, and Boxers up to 40kg), and XL (German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, and other large breeds up to 60kg). If your dog is between sizes, we'd always recommend sizing up so they've got room to stretch out.

How long does the memory foam last?
With normal daily use, the high-density foam in the Big Snooze Pro typically holds its shape for 3-5 years, which is years longer than the budget beds you'll find on the high street. It won't stay looking brand new forever, but it shouldn't go thin or lumpy the way cheaper foam does.

Can it help with arthritis?
Yes — this is one of the main reasons dog owners choose the Big Snooze Pro. The orthopedic foam relieves pressure on stiff, arthritic joints far more effectively than a standard cushioned bed, which is why we recommend it so often for senior dogs and dogs recovering from surgery or injury.

Is it suitable for puppies?
It is, though bear in mind puppies grow quickly and go through a chewing phase, so you may want to hold off on your most expensive bed until they're a little older and settled. If you do use it for a puppy, keep an eye on them until you know their chewing habits.

How do I wash it?
The outer cover unzips completely and is machine washable at 30°C. We'd recommend washing on a gentle cycle and air drying rather than tumble drying, to help the fabric and foam insert last as long as possible.

Will it go flat?
All foam softens a little with use, but the high-density foam in the Big Snooze Pro is specifically chosen because it resists flattening far longer than the cheap foam used in budget beds. Most owners find it still offers real support well into its second and third year.

Is it suitable for dogs who chew?
The Big Snooze Pro isn't designed as a chew-proof bed, so if your dog is a determined chewer, we'd suggest supervising them on it until you're confident they'll settle rather than nibble. The zip cover does help protect the foam insert from casual scratching and nesting behaviour.

What breeds is this most popular with?
We see it chosen most often for Labradors, Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, Border Collies, and Boxers — but really it suits any breed that needs proper joint support, from senior small breeds to giant breeds carrying extra weight on their frame.

Does it smell?
New foam products can have a very mild scent when first unpacked, which is completely normal and usually fades within a day or two once it's had a chance to air out. The removable, washable cover also makes it easy to keep fresh long-term.

Can I use it in a crate?
Yes, as long as you check the bed's dimensions against your crate's internal measurements first. The Medium size fits comfortably into most standard crates, while the Large and XL are better suited to bigger crates or open-plan use.

Does it come with a guarantee?
Yes. If your Big Snooze Pro arrives faulty or doesn't meet your expectations, get in touch with us at info@thebigpetshop.com and we'll sort it out — replacement, repair, or refund, whichever makes sense.

How long does delivery take?
We offer free delivery on every order to the UK and EU, with no minimum spend. Delivery times vary by destination, but most UK orders arrive within a few working days of dispatch.

Is it suitable for elderly dogs?
Very much so — senior dogs are exactly who this bed was designed for. The orthopedic support helps ease pressure on ageing joints and stiff muscles, and the bolster sides give older dogs something secure to rest their head against.

Can large breeds over 40kg use it?
Yes, our XL size is built for large and giant breeds up to 60kg, including German Shepherds and Golden Retrievers. For dogs at the very top end of that range, we'd always recommend the XL over the Large for the best support and room to stretch out.

Is it made from safe materials?
Yes. The foam and cover fabric are chosen specifically for everyday use around dogs and are free from harsh chemical treatments, so you can wash and use the bed with confidence.

What's the difference between the Pro and the Anti-Anxiety bed?
The Big Snooze Pro is built around orthopedic memory foam and is best for dogs who need physical joint support — arthritis, older age, recovery, or larger breeds. Our Big Snooze Anti-Anxiety Dog Bed instead uses a raised, huggable rim and self-warming faux fur to help dogs who struggle to settle emotionally, such as anxious or newly rescued dogs. Some owners choose both, depending on what their dog needs most.
