What makes the Laboni Classic Siena dog bed especially comfortable for the dog?
The Classic model has a firm, supportive sleeping surface and high padded edges that act as a pillow and give the dog a nest-like sense of security. The support is evenly distributed to the hips and back, so the dog relaxes faster both during short naps and overnight.
Who is this bed the best choice for?
It is versatile for family dogs and active dogs who want to combine support and softness. For example, Shetland Sheepdogs, Spanish Water Dogs, Border Collies, and Golden Retrievers often seek out a bordered, sheltered sleeping place.
How do I choose the right size?
Choose the size for your dog's rest: measure the length from the snout to the base of the tail and add some allowance depending on the sleeping position. For example, S often works for a Toy Poodle and Kleinspitz, M for a Shetland Sheepdog and Cocker Spaniel, L for a Labrador Retriever and Australian Shepherd—but always measure your own dog and leave room for stretching.
How does Classic Siena support an aging dog?
The firm filling and the edge support provided by the structure make it easier to get up and reduce pressure on the joints during rest. Many seniors especially enjoy when their head rests on the raised edge and the frame does not “collapse” in use. However, an orthopedic Ortho model may be a healthier solution for senior dogs.
Is this suitable for a young and lively dog?
Yes. The sturdy base withstands repeated getting up and jumping, and the edges guide the dog to settle in its own place. You can add your own blanket to the bed if the dog loves “making the bed”.
What is the Siena fabric like in everyday use?
Siena is an upholstery fabric whose melange texture beautifully hides hair and minor wear. It feels pleasant but is practical—a great choice for the living room where the bed can be visible as part of the decor.
How should I choose the color for different interior styles?
The lighter Siena emphasizes a Scandinavian home leaning on natural materials and lightens the look. The darker shade adds structure to a modern interior and is more forgiving of muddy paw prints—choose the shade according to your dog's coat and the room's lighting.
Is the cover washable and replaceable?
The cover is removable and washable according to the manufacturer's care instructions, which makes everyday cleaning easier. With replacement covers, you can update the look seasonally or extend the bed's lifespan if there is a lot of shedding at home.
Is the fabric durable against digging and bed-making?
Classic Siena is designed to be durable for home use, so light nest-building and pawing are not a problem. For very enthusiastic diggers, we recommend regular nail care and a washable blanket for the bed.
Does the bed keep its shape over time?
The sturdy frame structure and high-quality fillings help keep the edge firm and the sleeping surface even. This way, the dog gets the same support even after months of use.
Would this suit a dog that overheats easily?
The breathable structure of the Siena fabric feels pleasant year-round. If your dog seeks the floor to cool down, a bordered but airy bed helps balance temperature better than a completely soft “sinking” option.
How do I choose the size for a long-bodied dog?
Prefer a larger size so that a whippet sleeping on its side, a smooth-coated Fox Terrier, or a large Dalmatian has room to stretch. If the dog often sleeps “long,” prioritize length and leave room for movement at the edges.
Is this a good option for a puppy?
Yes, as long as you choose a size with enough room for growth and teach the bed as the “own place.” The edges guide calming down, and the firm base supports bodily growth—add a washable protector if needed to ease house training.
Can this also be used for a cat?
Yes. Many cats love high edges and a nest-like feel—size S is usually the most suitable. Choose a shade that blends into the favorite spot, so the pet is more likely to enjoy it there.
What breed examples fit the different sizes?
S: Toy Poodle, Kleinspitz, Italian Greyhound. M: Cocker Spaniel, Shetland Sheepdog, Spanish Water Dog. L: Labrador Retriever, Golden Retriever, Australian Shepherd, Dalmatian. Always remember to measure your own dog and ask us for help if needed to confirm the size.
