Why Do Pets Feel Anxious?

Hey dog parent — ever wonder why your fluffy friend sometimes acts nervous for no reason? Dogs feel anxiety just like we do. 🌧️✨ Thunderstorms, fireworks, being home alone for hours… even changes in routine can freak them out.

Fun fact: about 70% of dogs show signs of anxiety at some point. Source: PetMD Crazy, right?

If you’ve got a rescue pup or a breed that’s more sensitive (hello, herding dogs!), they’re even more likely to get stressed. But don’t worry — you’re not alone and it’s not your fault. Pets, just like humans, can feel stressed. Loud noises, new environments — all of these trigger anxiety.

Without a safe, cozy spot, your pet's stress can turn into restless sleep, barking or destructive behavior. 🐾

Common Signs Your Dog Is Anxious

• ✅ Barking or whining out of nowhere
• ✅ Pacing or circling
• ✅ Hiding under furniture
• ✅ Chewing up your shoes (oops)
• ✅ Not settling down when they normally would

Some dogs show big signs, others just look a bit off. Trust your gut — you know your buddy best! 💛

How a Calming Bed Helps — The Science

A true anxiety-relieving bed does three magic things:

1. 1️⃣ Raised rim → makes your dog feel hugged and safe.
2. 2️⃣ Thick, soft filling → supports joints so they can fully relax.
3. 3️⃣ Soft faux fluffy fur → reminds them of snuggling with mom and littermates.

This combo = deep sleep and calmer days. 🌙 Way better than a flat, cheap pillow!

MrFluffyFriend vs Cheap Knockoffs — The Real Difference

Here’s where we get real: not all “calming beds” are the same. Cheap versions flatten fast, covers rip, and you’re back to square one.

MrFluffyFriend beds? Different story:

• ✔️ Extra heavy filling — stays fluffy for years
• ✔️ XXXXL sizes — 120cm & 140cm so even your big bear can sprawl out 🐻
• ✔️ Non-slip bottom — no sliding zoomies! 🏃
• ✔️ Machine washable cover — because life happens 🧺

Don’t waste money on knockoffs — your fluffy baby deserves the real thing! 💖

Calming Beds & Anxious Dogs — Your Questions Answered

Is a calming bed enough to help with dog anxiety?

For most dogs, a calming dog bed alone does wonders — especially when it’s the right size and quality. But for severe dog anxiety, always combine it with a calm routine, daily exercise, and if needed, vet-approved solutions.

Which calming bed size should I choose?

When it comes to large dog beds, bigger truly is better. A spacious, extra-fluffy bed lets your dog stretch, curl up, and feel fully protected. If you’re between sizes, size up — our XXL beds (120cm & 140cm) give giant breeds maximum comfort and help reduce anxiety naturally.

Are calming beds safe for puppies too?

Yes! Puppies love the safe, nest-like feeling of a puppy calming bed. Just remember: always supervise your puppy to make sure they don’t chew the bed’s edges. Our washable design makes it easy to keep fresh, even during puppy training.
