🏠Bed and sleeping setup for a Eurasier: size and materials

Eurasier : The quintessential family dog, it needs to sleep inside the house near its people: a size M/L bed in the living area suits it perfectly. Kennel or permanent outdoor life goes against the breed temperament.

In short: Medium dog, 48 to 60 cm and 18 to 32 kg, medium-length double coat with ample undercoat, moderate energy. A composed family spitz, reserved with strangers and deeply bonded to its group. Created for family life: it copes poorly with kennels and long absences, and needs to sleep inside the house.

What bed size for a Eurasier?

Standing 48 to 60 cm at the withers, the Eurasier needs a bed around 100 cm long — enough to stretch flat on its side, not just curl up. When torn between two sizes, always take the larger.

Materials and comfort

Demand a zipped cover washable at 60°C — this breed’s moult will send it through the machine weekly, bolster edges as headrests and a base that grips tiled floors.

Where to put it?

The Eurasier handles cool air well and even seeks out tiles in summer: offer two spots, a soft quiet bed and a cool corner. Overheating bothers it more than cold. An adult dog sleeps 12 to 15 hours a day: placement matters as much as the bed.
