It’s time to get your fur baby their own camping gear. Today we have 3 great choices if you are looking into a dog sleeping bag.
Waterproof Dog Sleeping Bed by Lifeunion
The first up is the Waterproof Dog Sleeping Bag by Lifeunion. This one is great for keeping your fur baby nice and toasty on those cool evenings. It is designed with a polyester material on the outside for easy cleaning on those dirty camping trips. The inside of the sleeping bag is made of a fleece liner to keep your dog warm on spring, summer, and fall camping trips.
One customer who reviewed this sleeping bag said that it kept their husky warm in 30 degree temperatures. If you are one of those crazy people who winter camp then you may need to supplement this sleeping bag with some hand warmers or look at getting a sleeping bag graded for lower temperatures. But if you are like the rest of us then this bag is a great choice.
This sleeping bag is light weight which makes it good for when you are on the go and comes with carrying case. One verified purchaser of this product pointed out that it may not compress down to a small enough size to your liking if you are running out of packing space in the car. It is estimated that the sleeping bag only compresses down to about 50 percent of the total size. If you are car packing nut like my wife then you might not like this feature of this one.
This sleeping bag has a unique design with a zipper on the tail and one on the side. Some customers use it for two or three smaller dogs. The extra openings allow more than one dog to be under the bag with their own opening to pop their head out of if need be. This bag is a good size for just about any dog accommodating one purchasers dog of 100 lbs and 4 feet long.
This dog sleeping bag is a pretty good all around choice for most camping and road trips. Just be aware of the temperature guidelines. With an unheard of average rating of 4.7 out of 5 on Amazon and awesome customer service, there is a good chance you are going to be happy with this purchase.
Ruffwear Highlands Dog Sleeping Bag
Another awesome dog sleeping bag is this one by Ruffwear Highlands. Here at dogbed360.com we do our best to go in depth with the products we write about. Our aim is to not just provide glorified product descriptions, but to go deep into what works and doesn’t work with products in real life, not just what sounds good on paper. For that reason we almost didn’t want to include this sleeping bag in our product recommendations simply because it seems to work exactly as described. It is difficult to write about a product that doesn’t have much nuance. People just seem to love it. This product has an unheard of 4.7 out of 5 global rating at the time of writing.
This sleeping bag is awesome for cold nights with some people reporting that it kept their fur baby warm in 40-degree weather. One reviewer reported that this sleeping bag kept their dog toasty in 20 degree weather! Not only that, the biggest selling point about this sleeping bag is that dog’s love it! Some people said that they put a small mat inside the sleeping bag and their dog ending up using it as a full-time bed in their house. So if you get this dog sleeping bag your biggest issue might be getting them to come out. 😊
Alcott Adventure Sleeping Bag for Dogs
Finally, we have the Adventure Sleeping Bag for Dogs by Alcott. The first thing to note is that this dog bed is very cozy and is going to keep your fur baby pretty darn warm for most camping trips. We haven’t tried it out in winter personally, and when we polled customer for their experiences, we weren’t able to find a solid answer. Some of the other doggie sleeping bags are rated for certain temperatures, much like human sleeping bags, but the manufacturer doesn’t specify for this one.
A few things to consider if you are interested in this doggie sleeper. This bed also comes with a nifty and convenient carrying bag to make travelling with your fur baby easier. If you are an avid hiker/rough camper though, then this sleeping bag might not be the best pick for you. Customers noted that it is great but it is a little bulky for transporting. The sleeping bag is 1.33 lbs without the carrying case. If you plan on travelling long distances you know that this travelling weight might be a dealbreaker.
One of the most contentious issues among customers with this sleeping bag is the sizing. Some say that the sizing charts are based on the outer circumference of the sleeping bag and not the inside of the bed. So, some customers were disappointed that their dog didn’t fit in the bed when it arrived. You may want to order a bigger size than you think you need. To give a frame of reference, one person who bought this sleeping bag said that “a medium is probably the right size for a Jack Russel or Pug.”
The Final Word
That’s all folks. No matter what size or temperament of your dog, the chances are one of these sleeping bags will be a good fit for you. No matter how great the sleeping bag, your dog may not take to it right away. Some dogs will jump in, but it may take some training to get your dog to actually use it as a sleeping bag. Whatever sleeping bag you decide on, we wish happy trails to you and your fur baby. That is all for now. Happy Shopping! 😊
