Best Dog Sofas
Before we get into the details of how to pick the best dog sofa and what to watch out for, we present you the reviews of the 6 best sofa in the UK for your dog.
Pawhut is a tail wagging fantastic sofa with foam filled soft cushion. It has a wooden construction, however the plush fur makes it soft and comfortable. Bolstered edges particularly makes it sure your puppy roll of the edge and fall down.
You can pick a black or grey design. Personally, I liked the grey and white design which gives it a light feeling. It also looks like an authentic piece of furniture.
The only drawback with this dog sofa is that it’s only suitable for dogs less than 3kg. Don’t worry if your dog is larger, we have couple of options for gentle giants below.

What to consider when purchasing dog sofas
Before jumping into introducing the review details for each sofa, we thought it’s best to discuss a few things to keep in mind when purchasing one.
Height of the sofa
We suggest measuring your dog’s height and compare it to the sofa’s you’re planning to purchase.
If the sofa is too high for your fury friend, you might end up with joint problems in the long run. It’s best to pick a height that your dog can easily hop on and get off.
Your dog’s size and weight capacity of the sofa
Similarly your dog’s size is generally the determinant factor in how big a sofa you should be getting. It’s better to have a big enough sofa so that your little friend easily snug up and has some space left to move around.
Weight capacity of the sofa also plays a role when picking the choosing the right option.
Most dog sofas are tailored for small to medium size breeds. Whilst there are couple of sofas made for large dogs, you’ll have access to a wider range if your pooch is smaller.
Home Decor
This is the fun part of choosing a dog sofa and the time for you to unleash your inner designer.
After all a classy dog sofa is not only for dogs’ but also for owners’ benefit.
To be honest your dog probably couldn’t care less about the design or whether the dog sofa colour matches the interior decor. So, it’s all up to your taste.
Hygiene
Being honest, my pooch (cute Jasper below) is prone to accidents and I don’t fancy having to clean the sofa by hand each time it happens.
Not only that, dogs tend to transfer their smell to where they’re sleeping. They’ll naturally sweat on the sofa just like they would on a dog bed.
That’s why hygiene is a crucial factor in choosing which sofa to pick. Easily washable dog sofas with removable cushions and covers are ideal as you can toss them in the washing machine.
Materials the sofa is made of
Remember the prime rule of chewing. If it can be chewed, it’ll be chewed. Most dog sofas are not really chew resistant.
However if your dog is particularly enthusiastic in his profession of gnawing, it’d be best to pick a chew resistant sofa.
Comfy, cosy?
Foremost consideration with dog sofa is how comfortable your dog is.
Most sofas will have elevated legs providing draft free resting and sleeping area for your pup.
It’s best to find a balance between softness of the cushion and firmness to provide support when your pooch lies down on it to rest.
Final Verdict
Our top choice for the internal decor is the deluxe version Pawhut Dog Sofas. Comfortable for your pup and aesthetically pleasing to your eyes, it just looks like a mini version of human sofas.
Not only It can match your lounge well, it can put a smile on every face that sees it.
