My 13 year old Jack Russell gets cold very easy. He is 26 pounds. Do you suggest buying a medium bed and is the bed warm?

My poodle loves his plush Cuddle Cube bed and, yes, I think it's very warm. I keep a small, child-sized afghan or blanket on the Cuddle Cube for additional warmth. My dog loves to scratch or paw his bed so that it lumps where he wants it to. He moves the blanket around in this way and lays beside or under it if he needs additional warmth. I bought 2 beds, one for the bedroom and one for the office, and he "lives" in them most of his sleeping hours.

Yes, this bed is warm, comfy and cozy. It is large enough for my two Shi-Tzu. They cuddle together on it, and sometimes only one of them will be on it. When one of them gets on it, the bed kind of hugs them. They each weigh about 12-15 lbs. I was surprised at the size of the bed. I thought it would be smaller and am pleased at the size. I would not hesitate to buy another. I have 3 dogs and there is always at least one dog on it.

My house is freezing and the outer cover has a fleece feel to it and is warm, especially when it forms around them. We love it!

I would probably recommend the medium bed for a 26-pound dog. Yes, the bed seems to definitely keep my dogs warm. It's thick and comfortable.

I would say medium. I have had it for about 8 months and love it. I also have a feather bed from them and love it. I live in Texas so temps can get quite warm. It's works great if I keep the temp at around 71. :-)

As an owner of a large, Big Barker bed for my 60lb lab mix...I would recommend the medium bed for your beagle. I also have a smaller, 40 lb terrier mix, who I would get the medium size bed for...if I thought she would sleep in it. She prefers my bed!!Good luck with your beagle baby and your Big Barker bed! You wont be disappointed!

I went with the medium for my 18 pound Jack Russell and it fits well. That should be fine for your dog.

You might need a bigger bed. My dog is 65 pounds now. He fits when he's curled up but I couldn't see him fitting if he was 20 lbs heavier

Read the pounds limit on the product. I have a large one and a medium one for my 80lb plus pittbull. They seem to be staying in shape so far. But one thing, I put a doggie soft bed on them, a cheap one for cushioning and warmth for the winter, so that helps too. I also purchased the coolaroos for my cats, they love it. Hope this helps you out. Thanks for asking.

We bought the medium and I fit on it with our beagle mix. I am 5'7" and 200lbs. The medium is a bit larger than a mini crib mattress. Obviously I have to curl into a ball to fit, but still....

Our Jack Russell weighs about 30 lbs. We got a small for him. He's not a tiny dog. I consider him small/medium sized.

Disregard my first comment, after rereading your question I noticed the 42 pound weight. I would try a medium for your JR mix.

My dog weighs around 50lbs. He's a good size dog. Part Blue Lacy with a bit of pit in him. He fits perfectly with enough room to lay all the way down, stand up in and turn in circles. We leave him in it overnight and sometimes if it is below freezing during the day too and he has no issues with it.

Hey Shelley. I bought this for my 18lb boy dachshund and he absolutely loves it. As long as he isn't super tall I think it will be ok because the whole point of the bed is to curl up and snuggle inside! Hope I helped.

The medium bed is pretty large and fits my 40 lbs medium dog nicely. This bed allows him to sleep in several positions (curled up, stretched out, head on bolster). When he's in his curled up position, a small dog could easily sleep in the bed with him.

My baby only weighs 13 lbs and a have the medium. She has plenty of room the stretch out. If you bought the large should be okay. Sorry I just noticed they only have this in a medium. Too bad it's a GREAT BED. Maybe if you go to the manufacturer they will have larger sizes.

Yes, I concur. Get the larger bed. Or you may also want to consider a bolster bed for your dog. They're great because they give the animal support (something to bolster against), as well as a cushy bed, and our dogs seem to prefer them to traditional beds. Good luck!

HiI would buy a medium size. I have a chiweenie and he is about 10-12lb he fits very well in it. He takes naps on long trims. He loves it and he's a size med

I think it may be too heavy for that, it being seriously lined, but you can see how he/she likes it. If he/she pants all night or sleeps restlessly or fidgets trying to get it off, you'll know. Still a great jacket for cold walks. Our dog was ill when we bought this, so it was important it be easy to get on and keep her warm outside. There was a lighter weight one with no lining that she wore indoors. That might be worth looking into for your needs. PS I see other responses referring to opening as 2-3 inches but that must be for a smaller dog than ours.

I actually got the extra large bed for my 75 pound boy instead of the large as I stated in the review. It is just right for him to stretch out and put his head on the edge. I would do the large for a 50# dog. We really like the bed; nicely made and very cushy.
