Dog Crates & Crate Pads

What Size Crate Should I Buy?

Buy a crate proportioned for your dog:  Choose a size  just large enough to allow him to stand, lie down comfortably, and change position as needed. But he shouldn’t be able to soil one end of the crate and then retreat to the other end to rest—close quarters will inhibit this impulse. If you’re adopting a puppy, choose a crate that will accommodate his adult proportions but with a movable interior partition you can adjust as he grows.

Is a Soft or Hard Dog Crate Better?

If you have a small or very well-behaved dog, a soft crate is a better option for travel. They are portable, easy to stow, and set up quickly at a campsite or at your dog-friendly accommodations. Sturdy hard dog crates are a better choice for transporting gun dogs to and from a hunting trip. Hard dog crates are also a better choice for larger breeds and dogs who like to chew. Remember to add a comfortable crate pad for any style of dog crate you choose.

What Bedding Is Best for a Dog Crate?

A soft, washable crate pad makes the best dog crate bedding. Absorbent chenille pads are a wonderful choice since they’re washable and designed to trap moisture and dirt.

Do I Need a Dog Crate With Multiple Doors?

Technically speaking, pet parents don’t need a dog crate with multiple doors, but the double door design makes cleaning easier. It’s more convenient to have two openings, especially if you have two dogs sharing a crate. Multiple doors also give you options for where the crate will fit in your home, since your dog can access it from the front or side.

Should I Travel With a Crate?

Even if you secure your dog for travel using a backseat harness,  bringing along a collapsible travel crate  gives him a safe and reassuring place to sleep when you reach your destination. Our dog travel crates are designed specifically to make it easy for you and your pet to get around. We offer light- and heavyweight styles for different travel scenarios, from errand running to long-distance hauls into the backcountry. Thoughtful engineering makes our travel dog crates a cinch to set up and transport, offering a pop-up home-away-from-home for your dog wherever you go.

Should I Cover My Dog’s Crate?

Take cues from your dog. Not every dog appreciates the solitude of a covered crate, but anxious or excitable canines can benefit from the security of a darkened, enclosed space. A  crate cover  limits the visual stimuli that can excite a dog and induce barking, and the presence or absence of it can communicate it’s time to sleep or to play. A covered crate can alleviate stress for an anxious dog on a road trip, and it can continue to help him stay calm at an unfamiliar destination.

Opt for breathable, washable material to cover your dog’s crate. If your dog is a chewer, secure the cover so he can’t pull it inside and ingest pieces of it. Keep the material away from heat sources, and avoid knit blankets that may snag or unravel. You might also consider using an airline-style dog kennel for its chew-proof design.

Sturdy, Durable Crates & Crate Pads for Dogs

Our dog crates and pads are designed specifically to make life easier for you and your pet, in light- and heavyweight styles made to use at home or for travel. Dogs are den animals who crave small, enclosed spaces instinctually. When you properly introduce your dog to his crate , he’ll grow to view it as an important refuge, his own safe, dedicated spot where he can retreat when he needs to. The crate can also serve as a useful training aid to help you raise a wiggly, chewing puppy into a well-mannered, housebroken adult dog—or to help train your new shelter dog with unknown habits. A properly trained dog will be happy to stay inside his crate for short stretches while you’re away but should be allowed to come and go on his own while you’re at home: When he opts for the sanctuary of his crate of his own accord, you’ll know you’ve achieved crate training success. Not just to use at home, a dog travel crate is the only way some pups can travel in safety and comfort. Sportsmen and women and their hunting buddies rely on high-quality travel kennels as essentials among their other bird dog supplies . We appreciate the impact a dog crate can make on the lifestyle you share with your pet. Explore Orvis dog crates and absorbent or water-resistant crate pads, to find the best solutions for your dog at home and on the road.

If you're looking to upgrade your pup's crate, you can't go wrong with one of the best waterproof dog crate mats . Not only will it help ensure that your pup is comfortable, but it'll also help protect the surface below and make it that much easier to clean. However, there are a few things to consider before spending money on your dog's cozy new cushion.

First, you'll have to find out what part of the mat is waterproof. Does it have a waterproof membrane below the cover? Is the base of the mat made with waterproof material? Or, is the entire mat lined with waterproof fabric? Those specs will matter while deciding on the right choice for your home and dog.

Furthermore, if your dog is arthritic or experiences joint pain, you might want to focus your attention on softer mats with plush memory foam that's easy on aching canine joints. Also consider ones with a padded border so your dog can rest their head. Different mats on the market can even handle the outdoors, and they come with carrying handles so you can take them from the crate to the park. Others options can even be used outside the crate as a bed as well.

Your pup will love you no matter what — and the best dog mats will make being in their crate just a little more comfy. And since most of these come in a range of sizes, make sure to consider how big your dog and crate are so you purchase the right one.

We only recommend products we love and that we think you will, too. We may receive a portion of sales from products purchased from this article, which was written by our Commerce team.

1 The Overall Best For Large Dogs: A Memory Foam Mat That's Orthopedic

With more than 2,000 positive reviews on Amazon, this orthopedic dog mat is a great overall choice for larger pups because it comes in bigger sizes. The anti-skid denim cover is removable and machine-washable — and below that is waterproof liner that can be removed via zipper. Plus, it's filled with plush, gel-infused memory foam that keeps dogs from getting too warm while remaining gentle on arthritic joints. And if your pup likes to chew, don't worry: There's an extra cover cover available with your purchase. And unlike some other waterproof mats, this one can be used as a standalone bed.

According to a fan: "The waterproof casing seems very durable and it came with two covers. My dog was so excited over it and immediately ran into his crate. The other awesome part of this is that it’s a perfect fit for his crate."

• Available sizes: Large, Extra-Large, XX-Large, Jumbo

2 Another Orthopedic Memory Foam Option For Smaller Dogs

Similar to the previous dog mat mentioned, this one is made with cushy memory foam that's easy on sore dog joints. However, unlike the previous selection, it's available in small, medium, and large sizes. Therefore, it's suitable for both petite pups and medium-size dogs.

This mat also boasts 4 inches of cushion, but it isn't pure memory foam. Instead, there are 2 inches of high-density support foam at the base with 2 inches of memory foam on top. A waterproof layer is used to encase the foam for extra protection, and a velour cover is wrapped around the entire mat for added comfort. That outer layer boasts a skid-proof bottom, and it can be removed and cleaned in the washing machine.

According to a fan: " The best part is that they put a waterproof casing over the thick memory foam cushion! My sweet old black lab will sometimes wet the bed and now I don't have to worry about urine getting in the cushion!"

• Available sizes: Small, Medium, Large

3 This Extra-Absorbent Mat That’s Perfect For Puppies

While it's not as soft and luxurious as the other choices on this list, if your dog is having accidents, it may be beneficial to consider a waterproof mat that doubles as a urine pad — like this one . It's designed with four layers of quilted cotton and leakproof liners that quickly soak up accidents, and the edges are also leakproof to help keep the mess contained. Plus, the bottom is lined with slip-resistant Gorilla Grip material which helps prevent it from bunching up inside your dog's crate.

Cleaning it is as simple as tossing it into the washing machine — and the absorbent filling is guaranteed to work for up to 300 washes.

According to a fan: "This mat/pee pad is 100% waterproof and absorbent. After an hour the back of the pad and floor are still dry. After one wash and dry it came out perfectly."

• Available sizes: 8 sizes from 14 x 10 inches to 46 x 28 inches

4 The Best For Relaxing Outside: A Mat That Comes With A Travel Bag

Not all dog crate mats can hold up to the outdoors, and many are quickly ruined in damp weather. This mat , however, is made from soft polyester with reinforced stitching for added durability. Per the brand, the frontside of the mat is waterproof and the backside is anti-slip. It's also scratch- and claw-resistant. And like the others, it's machine-washable.

However, unlike the other mats on this list, this one comes with a drawstring travel bag so it's easy to take with you while camping, hiking, or picnicking. It's also available in two vibrant colors: orange and teal blue.

According to a fan: "I have two little dogs, I dog sit and I take some of my dogs to the office, so I needed something easy to pack, big enough for dogs of different sizes, comfortable (otherwise my super spoiled dogs won't use it) and waterproof. This one checked all the boxes!"

• Available size: 43 x 26 inches

5 The Best Budget Option

Big waterproof dog crate mats can easily cost more than $100 — but this budget-friendly one is different. It's big enough for larger breeds, and it's available for less than $20. The extra-fluffy rim along the edges help keep your pup's head supported while they sprawl out, and it's suitable for dogs of any age. The top is made with 65% polyester and 35% cotton twill, and the backside is lined with waterproof material that's non-skid. It's also conveniently machine-washable if your pup has an accident, and it comes in two colors: green and gray.

According to a fan: "Bought this to line my dogs crate. She love her crate even more now. I've noticed she spends more time in it since I bought it. Easy to wash I just throw it in the washing machine and dryer. It's a win win."

• Available sizes: 33.8 x 24.6 inches

6 The Best For Pups Who Chew: A Mat Made With Ripstop Nylon

Even though it's one of the more expensive mats featured here, this dog crate mat can help save you money if you have a pup who loves to chew. Its made with super-durable ripstop nylon and boast a waterproof inner membrane, so it's both durable and scratch-proof.

Plus, there are zero zippers or Velcro for your dog to latch their teeth onto, and it's designed to fit into most crates and comes in the widest range of sizes here. Plus, you can toss this entire mat into the washing machine when it needs to be cleaned. Choose from tons of colors including green, gray, tan, red, blue, green, and black.

According to a fan: "My German shepherd has managed to not destroy this. Very durable. Material is waterproof, easy to clean and dries fast. I would recommend this to anyone. Nice and cushy. Fabric feels more like canvas than plush but that's what makes it so durable."

• Available sizes: Toy, X-Small, Small, Medium, Large, X-Large

7 An Option For Dogs Who Get Cold Easily: This Heated Waterproof Mat

Dogs can be sensitive to the cold so if you want to add a little bit of coziness in the crate for your dog, consider this heated mat .

Designed for small or medium pups, this mat features five different timer options, as well as six heat levels to choose from. The velvet cover is removable and machine-washable, and the heating pad itself is waterproof (thanks to the PVC lining underneath the outer layer). And if your dog is a casual, curious chewer, don't worry — the power cable is also chew-resistant.

According to a fan: "This is one of the best headed dog pads I have bought! The washable cover is a huge plus, especially for shedding dogs. And it’s waterproof too which is another great feature. The fabric is super soft and the cord is actually long enough."

• Available sizes: 19.7 x 15.8 inches, 29.5 x 17.7 inches

Many dogs spend a large portion of their dog in their crate while their owners are off at work or out running errands. We all want to keep our beloved four-legged pals comfy while they’re in their crates, which makes a quality dog crate bed essential!

We’re covering what to look for in a dog crate mat, plus detailing a few of our top picks.

No time to read the full review? Check out our quick picks below:

Best Crate Beds For Dogs: Quick Picks

• Pick #1:  Big Barker Crate Pad [Best for XL Dogs] ! This fan-favorite dog bed for large and extra-large dogs works great in a variety of large dog crates.
• Pick #2:  K&H Self-Warming Crate Mat [Best for Short-Haired Dogs] This non-electric self-warming bed is great for short-haired breeds that need extra warmth in the cold.
• Pick #3:  P.L.A.Y. Pet Lifestyle Crate Pad [Best for Travel] This lightweight & portable crate pad is perfect for on-the-go travel.

Note: We’ll be focusing on crate beds for indoor use below. If you are trying to keep your dog comfy while outside , be sure to check out our article about the best dog bedding for kennels and dog houses.

What to Look For in a Dog Crate Mat

When picking out the perfect dog crate pad, make sure to consider these factors:

Fit. Naturally, you’ll want a dog crate mat that fits the size of your canine’s crate . Make sure to take accurate measures of the crate, and double check the measurements of the dog crate pad you’re considering.

Durability. Durability is an important factor for dogs that chew through their beds – you’ll need something tough that can withstand your pup’s paws if your dog is rough with his stuff . The most indestructible dog crate pads and beds usually have tear-resistant features and heavy-duty stitching. You may also need to consider a durable crate mat if your dog has separation anxiety issues, since these dogs can to be destructive when left alone.

Thickness. Since your dog will likely be spending a lot of time in their crate, you’ll want to make sure their crate mat is substantially stuffed . Look for beds with memory foam or several inches of cushioning. This will be especially important for older dogs with arthritic issues, and you’ll want to consider getting one of the orthopedic dog beds available to prevent their joint issues from getting worse.

Think About the Temperature . Keeping your canine comfortable means not only providing the right kind of padding or support, but also ensuring he doesn’t get too hot or cold. If your home is on the cool side, you may want to look for a soft, plush bed that’ll help your dog stay warm. Conversely, elevated beds allow a breeze to pass under the bed, which will keep your pet cooler (it’s also worth mentioning that elevated beds provide some of the same joint-coddling benefits that the best orthopedic dog beds do).

Look for a Washable Pet Mat . Washable dog beds are worth their weight in gold, as fur, slobber, and other grody things will eventually start to foul all dog crate pads. Washable crate beds are not only easier to keep looking good, but they’re also less likely to develop odors too.

Consider Your Dog’s Specific Issues . Some dogs have medical problems or behavioral quirks that you’ll want to consider when comparing dog crate pads. Waterproof dog crate pads, for example, are very helpful for older dogs with bladder control and incontinence issues . On the other hand, extremely skittish dogs are sometimes spooked by elevated beds.

Best Dog Crate Beds: Reviews & Ratings

Here’s our assessment of the best dog crate beds to provide super comfort for your beloved canine! Let us know what you think in the comments.

1. Orthopedic Dog Crate Bed by Big Barker

About:  The Big Barker Dog Crate Mat is a thickly cushioned crate mat with four inches of luxury orthopedic support foam and a heavy-duty tear resistant cover which is 100% waterproof.

This is a sponsored placement , in which an advertiser pays a fee to be featured in this article. Learn more

Orthopedic Dog Crate Bed by Big Barker

High-quality dog bed with 4″ of orthopedic support foam and 100% waterproof cover.

The cover zips off for easy cleaning, allowing you to simply throw the cover in the wash in case of accidents. The firm padding is perfect for larger or older pets who need extra support or for dogs who try to dig and nest in their bedding.

The Big Barker Dog Crate Bed comes in several standard sizes and is machine washable.

• Perfectly Sized. Because these pads fit perfectly into the tray of standard-sized crates, accidents will not spill onto your carpet or wood floor.
• Foam. The high-quality foam in this pad is thick and supportive. Will not fold over on itself or flatten over time.
• Several Sizes. This bed comes in four sizes to fit standard sized crates, from small (30 inches X 21 inches) to large (48 inches X 30 inches). The largest-sized pad weighs about 6 pounds.
• Colors. Comes in brown only.

Big Barker is known for their high-quality dog beds – they’re a favorite among owners of large breeds. The thickness of the foam in this crate pad will not disappoint. Additionally, unlike other dog beds, owners report that this pad is chew resistant, making it a great choice for destructive dogs. This bed is also made in the USA, so you know you’ll have solid quality

Compared to other dog crate mats, the Big Barker Crate Pad is quite expensive. Big Barker beds are also not designed for smaller dogs – they really should only be used for larger or giant breed dogs.

2. P.L.A.Y. Pet Lifestyle Crate Pad

About: The P.L.A.Y. Pet Crate Pad comes in five different sizes and six fun colors. The cover does not detach, but the whole bed is machine washable and dryer safe.

P.L.A.Y. Pet Lifestyle Crate Pad

Lightweight, portable crate pad that’s machine washable and dryer safe.

Even the extra large pad is lightweight, coming in at under 4 pounds. If you will be moving your pet’s bed frequently, this is a definite benefit!

• Five Sizes. This pad comes in five standard sizes that fit most crates. The smallest pad (XS) measures 20 inches by 15 inches while the largest (XL) is 42 inches by 28 inches.
• Colors. There are six great color options including cream, cocoa, vermillion, pumpkin, sea foam, and pistachio.
• Eco-Friendly. Unlike other beds, this dog crate mat is stuffed with an eco-friendly polyfill. The high-loft Planet Fill filler is made from recycled bottles and offers a moderate amount of cushioning for your four-legged friend.

What this pad lacks in cushioning, it makes up for in softness. The squishy fill and velour-like cover make it a pup pleaser. Because it is lightweight, it’s great for travel or car rides.

Despite this bed’s softness, it does not contain any foam padding and probably doesn’t provide enough support for large dogs or  old dogs . Owners report that this bed is also a poor choice for chewers.

3. Reversible Paw Print Fleece Dog Crate Bed

About: If you’re looking for a cushiony bed for your dog’s crate that offers a good balance between comfort and affordability, the Reversible Paw Print bed is another fine choice.

Reversible Paw Print Fleece Dog Crate Bed

Lightweight, budget-friendly crate pad with reversible cover.

The filling is overstuffed poly fiber which is machine washable and dryer safe. These lightweight beds are relatively thin but are supportive enough to be comfortable for most dogs. Each bed comes with a 1-year manufacturer’s warranty.

• Eight Sizes. This bed comes in lots of sizes to fit nearly every crate. The smallest is 14 inches by 11 inches, the largest is 52 inches by 34 inches. There are six other sizes in between.
• Colors. There is only one color choice, plush blue acrylic fur with black paw prints on one side, and white fleece on the other.

Dogs really seem to love the soft, plush fabric of this bed. Many pets want to use it right out of the box. And because it’s so lightweight, this bed is great for summertime use.

If you’re expecting a thick mattress, you’ll be disappointed; many owners complain that this dog crate mat is too thin, and that the actual bed sizes are also somewhat smaller than the listed sizes. The fleece also sheds quite a bit of fiber, so may require a bit of clean up if your dog is rough with his bed.

4. K&H Manufacturing Crate Pad

About: The K&H Manufacturing Crate Pad offers three great crate pad options: memory foam, self-warming, and odor control.

K&H Manufacturing Crate Pad

Self-warming crate pad that’s perfect for chilly canines.

The memory foam pad is soft and squishy, providing additional softness for your doggie’s crate. The self-warming pad radiates your pet’s body heat offering comfort to pups that need extra warmth. The odor control pad has charcoal in the inner layers which absorbs unwanted pet odors.

All three options are one inch thick and have non-slip fabric on the bottom and soft microfleece on top.

• Machine Washable. Covers do not detach, but all three styles are machine washable.
• Several Sizes. This bed comes in several sizes to fit various crates, from small (14 Inches X 22 Inches) to large (37 inches X 54 inches) and has several sizes in between. The largest pad weighs less than 4 pounds, making it a lightweight choice compared to other brands.
• Colors. Color choices are limited to mocha and gray for the memory foam and odor control pads, while the self-warming pad comes in mocha, gray, and tan.

The self-warming version of the dog crate mat doesn’t make a loud crinkling noise (which tends to be an issue for other self-warming pet beds). The clever slits on the corner of these mats make them the perfect fit for almost any sized crate.

Compared to  other heated dog beds , the self-warming version of this pad does not reflect much heat. The mats are also somewhat thin and may not provide enough cushion for dogs that need a lot of padding.

5. Kuranda Crate Bed

About: The Kuranda Crate Bed is an elevated, cot-style pet bed. It consists of two basic parts: A PVC dog bed frame and a ballistic nylon sheet. The nylon sheet is abrasion resistant, easy to clean, and smooth to prevent fur from sticking.

Kuranda Crate Bed

Elevated, cot-style bed that fits inside a crate.

Although it looks identical to the regular Kuranda Dog Bed , this model features slightly shorter legs to give your dog more headroom while inside the crate. This model has 3” legs, while the regular Kuranda features 4.75” legs.   

Because the bed elevates your dog off the bottom of the crate, it provides many of the same benefits that the best orthopedic dog beds do.

• Peace of Mind . The structural integrity of the dog bed frame and fabric is guaranteed by a 1-year warranty.  
• Strong and Sturdy . Despite the lightweight materials used in the bed, it is capable of supporting dogs weighing up to 100 pounds.
• Available in Multiple Sizes . You can get the Kuranda Crate Bed is several different sizes ranging from 25” x 18” to 44” x 27”.
• Colors . The Kuranda Crate Bed is available in Burgundy, Forest Green, and Smoke.

The Kuranda Crate Bed offers a completely different way to keep your canine comfortable while he’s chillin’ in his crate. It’ll not only take a lot of the pressure of your dog’s joints while he’s snoozing, but it’ll also keep him cooler during the warm summer months.

It’s also worth mentioning that this bed may not trigger your dog’s chewing instincts the way traditional, pillow-style beds often do.

The Kuranda Crate Bed doesn’t have many user reviews that we could find. However, given that most owners who try the traditional Kuranda Dog Bed rave about it, and the two beds are identical aside from leg height, we feel comfortable recommending it here.

6. Paws & Pals Pet Bed for Cat and Dog Crate Pad

About: The Paws & Pals Pet Bed is a soft-and-cozy pet mat that is perfect for dogs who like to “nest” while taking naps. It is filled with high-density foam and polyester fiberfill, it features an ultra-soft fleece and synthetic fur cover, and it has a cushioned rim that works like dog crate bumper pads.  

Paws & Pals Pet Bed for Cat and Dog Crate Pad

Cozy bolstered bed with a soft fleece & synthetic fur cover.

The Paws & Pals Pet Bed features a busy newspaper-style print that looks great and will help to hide fur and dirt.

• Breathable Design . Although this bed will certainly keep your canine cozy in the winter, it also features a breathable design that’ll help prevent your dog from getting too toasty in the summer.   
• Easy to Transport . The Paws & Pals Pet Bed is lightweight and easy to transport, which may be very important for owners who travel a lot with their pooch.  
• Available in Multiple Sizes . This bed comes in three sizes: small (21” x 17”), medium (24” x 20”), and large (29” x 25”).
• Washable . The Paws & Pals Pet Bed is machine washable. Just toss it in your washing machine on the gentle cycle, and then let it hang dry.  

Most owners who tried the Paws & Pals Pet Bed were very happy with their choice. Several owners reported that it was well-built and durable, and most pets appeared to find it very comfortable. The bed’s low price-point also elicited plenty of praise.

A few owners complained that they appear to run slightly small, so if you’re debating between two different sizes, select the larger one. Additionally, this is not a dog crate pad with a removable cover, although you can just toss it in the washing machine when you need to clean it.

The Paws-Down Winner

9 Best Dog Travel Mats in 2024

Table of Contents

Do You Need A Dog Travel Mat?

I have had Theo, a Golden Retriever, for almost 2 years now, and we absolutely love traveling together! 

In my experience, a dog travel mat has been essential for those long trips with Theo, especially when we are planning to do a lot of outdoor activities, like camping and hiking. 

It’s also helpful for having his “place” command – so he has somewhere that feels like “his spot” anywhere.

A dog travel mat has been a game changer for Theo, but buying a quality travel mat is very important. That’s where I can help. Here are the best dog travel mats on the market, plus some tips for choosing one that is perfect for your pup.

My Top 3 Picks: Best Dog Travel Mat

#1 TOP PICK

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazon Basics Cooling Elevated Dog Bed ✔️ Elevated Mat ✔️ Iron Frame w/ Mesh Fabric

Do You Need a Dog Travel Mat?

Yes, you definitely need a dog travel mat if you will be taking your dog with you on a road trip or flying to a new city together. 

Here are a few of the main reasons you need a dog travel mat:

Protection: If you are going camping, a dog mat will protect your dog from sleeping on rocky ground or laying in the mud if it has recently rained. 

Sanitation: While traveling, your dog will be exposed to new germs they aren’t used to in the same way humans are. A dog mat is a barrier to help keep your dog healthy while traveling.  

Comfort: On hard or uneven floors, your dog may be uncomfortable for long periods. A dog mat will provide extra comfort for these situations. 

Convenience: These travel mats are easy to roll up and very lightweight.  You will be easily able to carry the mats while traveling. 

Flexibility: You can use a dog travel mat in various locations like a park, hotel, airport, or campsite. It is an essential item if you travel with your dog often.

A travel dog mat is an excellent option for any dog owner who enjoys traveling with their canine companion.

He can’t climb into his current bed due to his old joints, but he can still walk onto this mat. It is a good quality.”  – Lauri, USA (Read more reviews )

One thing to note is that the soft top could be better if you have a dog that tends to scratch or bite at the material since it can tear relatively easily.  “This pad is perfect. It is not so thick that washing it is difficult, but it is thick enough to provide necessary cushion for the elbows. Works great for big dogs as they can easily get up and being thinner doesn’t make them overheat. Easy to wash and dry.”  -Anna Shepherd, USA (Read more reviews )

The Chuckit! Travel Dog Bed is perfect for bringing your best friend with you on all your outdoor adventures. This dog bed is made from a soft-to-touch quilted construction and measures 30″ x 39″, making it suitable for most dogs.

Plus, this dog bed is machine washable for easy care and maintenance.

What To Look For In A Good Travel Dog Mat

Proper size :  Make sure the bed is big enough for your dog to sleep comfortably without any body parts touching the ground. Ensuring it fits comfortably in their travel carrier is also a good idea. 

Style: The best portable dog travel bed should reflect your travel style. If you are camping or hiking with your dog, you will need a different material from someone who is primarily staying in dog-friendly hotels or traveling in their car. 

For example, a roll-up or foldable dog travel bed will be considerably simpler to transport than an elevated cot option if weight and space are limitations.

Comfort: TheUsually, a thicker bed will be more comfortable, but it also depends on the material. Either way, it is important to consider buying a thicker dog travel mat if your dog suffers from joint or muscle pain.

Safe filling material: Luckily, this is something that you are finding less and less in dog travel mats, but some still use harmful materials that can be unhealthy for a dog. This is especially important if your dog has any allergies. 

Washable cover: Many of us immediately toss our dirty clothes into the washing machine after returning from a trip. If you can do the same with your dog’s bed, it will make things a lot simpler.

5 Best Indestructible Dog Crate Pads in 2024 – Reviews & Top Picks

By Nicole Cosgrove

Updated on Aug 2, 2024

Getting your dog to use his crate can be a challenge, but it’s well worth it in the end. One of the best ways to convince him to start spending more time in there is by dressing it up with a comfy pad.

Of course, you may have thought of that already — and you may have spent twenty minutes cleaning up the destroyed carcass of the pad you bought him, too. If that’s the case, consider investing in an indestructible model.

Now, we should note that there’s no such thing as a truly “indestructible” crate pad, but some of the options on this list come close. Others don’t quite live up to the hype. How can you tell the difference? We’ll tell you everything you need to know in the reviews below.

A Quick Glance at our Favorites in 2024

The 5 best indestructible dog crate pads:, 1. big barker orthopedic dog crate pad – best overall.

The Big Barker uses two different types of foam to cushion your dog’s joints and limbs. The bottom level is firm, with little give, so that the metal of the crate won’t be able to penetrate through to bother your pup. The upper level is much more cushy and conforms to the shape of your dog’s body to reduce tension.

The fabric is extremely durable as well, so it should be able to handle nearly anything your mutt throws at it. Notice we said “nearly,” as it’s not fully chew-proof, so you’ll need to keep your dog from munching on it if possible. Even if you can’t, though, it should last quite a while.

It’s also waterproof, so if your pooch has an accident all you have to do is sop it up. You can then remove the cover and throw it in the washing machine if you like.

The most annoying thing about it is that the measurements are a little off, so you may need to order a size larger than you think you’ll need. Either that or figure out a way to pad the difference inside the crate.

Overall, though, the Big Barker should provide years of comfortable service for your dog, which is why it earns the top spot on our list of the best indestructible dog crate pads.

• Uses two different kinds of foam
• Completely waterproof
• Machine washable
• Fabric is extremely durable
• Measurements aren’t completely accurate

2. Pet Dreams Dog Crate Bed – Best Value

This option from Pet Dreams is basically a giant pillow you throw inside the crate, so don’t expect it to fit perfectly inside. However, it provides a tremendous amount of comfort at a low price, which is why it’s our pick for best indestructible dog crate pad for the money.

There are two sides to it, one that’s cotton and the other that’s made from a Sherpa material. This makes it great for just about any weather, as the cotton side will keep your dog cool while the Sherpa material will trap body heat in the winter.

This pillow can be used anywhere, not just a crate, so feel free to toss it on the floor or set it up next to you on the couch. You can even pick between three colors to find one to match your existing decor.

Unfortunately, it’s not terribly thick, so if you have an arthritic dog you might want to set another mat underneath it. Also, it’s a magnet for dog hair, so expect to wash yours regularly.

Given the price, though, neither of those issues are enough to keep us from recommending the Pet Dreams — but they are enough to keep it out of the top spot.

• Budget-friendly model
• Sides are reversible
• Good for all-weather use
• Works well outside of crates too
• Traps a lot of dog hair

3. K9 Ballistics Orthopedic Crate Pad – Premium Choice

With a name like “K9 Ballistics,” you might think this pad could stop a bullet — and we can’t say for certain it won’t.

That doesn’t mean that it’s not comfortable, though. Far from it, in fact. The ripstop ballistic cover encases two inches of thick foam, but it’s extremely forgiving on old joints.

Even better, it provides that support without allowing your dog to sink in, so he shouldn’t have any issue getting up after laying down. This makes it an excellent choice for senior animals.

It’s made to stand up to heavy chewers, and it even has zip ties that let you attach it to the crate to prevent Fido from dragging it out and shaking it. That also keeps it from sliding around as he tries to get comfortable.

So why is the K9 Ballistics crate pad not ranked higher? It’s quite expensive for one thing, and the cover has a coating that peels off over time. It doesn’t seem to be anything more than a cosmetic flaw, but it’s disappointing in a product at this price, nonetheless.

We would still heartily recommend the K9 Ballistics crate pad, but you should probably try one of the two ranked above it first.

• Made with thick foam
• Dogs won’t sink into it
• Comes with zip ties for attaching it to the crate
• Good for senior dogs
• Very expensive
• Coating flakes over time

4. goDog Bed Bubble Bolster

The goDog Bed Bubble Bolster doesn’t look like much, as it’s a thin pad with a thick ring of cushioning around it. However, that ring is made with their Chew Guard technology, which should help it survive if your pooch decides it looks tasty for some reason.

The anti-skid bottom keeps it in place, even if your dog likes to fidget, and the plush coverings help make it soft enough that he won’t want to move. It’s perfect for tossing on the floor, too, so you don’t have to limit its use to the crate.

While it’s soft, it doesn’t offer as much support as some of the other beds on this list, so it’s not the best option for older pups. Also, putting the Chew Guard inside the ring only seems to invite dogs to try their luck with it.

It comes in a variety of colors, but they all seem to be different shades of brown. Also, if you’re particularly fond of the brown shade you get, be careful when you wash it, as the color fades quickly.

The goDog Bed Bubble Bolster is a fine mat, but there’s nothing about it that really sets it apart, so the highest we can rank it is #4 on this list.

• Outer ring made with Chew Guard technology
• Anti-skid bottom
• Soft plush covering
• Offers little support
• Only available in boring brown shades
• Color fades if you wash it

5. Gorilla Grip Washable Puppy Pads

Gorilla Grip Washable Puppy Pads have a tough four-layer design made to withstand chewing and scratching. The top layer is soft and comfortable, and it’s made with tear-resistant material. The middle two layers are made with absorbent material, and the bottom layer has slip-resistant dots that help keep the pads in place. These pads are leak-proof, making them excellent options for potty training puppies or incontinent dogs. They’re also machine-washable and have been tested to withstand about 300 washes. This also makes them an eco-friendlier choice than traditional disposable potty pads.

The dimensions of these pads fit most dog crates. Because of their thin design, they can also be placed on different kinds of furniture and act as a protective lining for them. However, they might be too thin for some dogs, as they won’t provide any lumbar support and won’t be comfortable for dogs that don’t like lying on hard surfaces.

• Tear-resistant top layer
• Machine-washable
• Dimensions fit most crates
• Don’t contain additional cushion

We’re big fans of the Big Barker , as it uses two different kinds of foam to keep your dog comfortable. On top of that, it’s completely waterproof, so you don’t have to worry about accidents .

In second place on our list of the best indestructible dog crate pads was the Pet Dreams pillow , a two-sided model that will keep your dog snug and comfy all year long. It’s budget-friendly as well, so even if your pup figures out a way to destroy it you won’t be out much.

Buying a bed of any kind for your dog can be supremely frustrating, as they’re often expensive — and they rarely last long. Hopefully, our reviews of the best indestructible dog crate pads have made it easier for you to find one that can survive your pooch’s most destructive tendencies while also providing him a soft spot on which to catch some z’s.

Failing that, of course, you could always just let him sleep in your bed — and that’s probably been his secret plan all along…

8 Best Dog Crate Pads of 2024

by Joline Buscemi

Updated on May 06, 2024

Crates can be an important part of training your dog, making it easier to house train and keep your pet safe when you can’t watch them. Adding a crate pad and creating a comfortable spot for your pup can help turn the crate into a cozy den they’ll love.

The type of crate pad that’s best for your dog depends on factors like their age and destruction tendencies, and how you’ll be using the crate. If your dog is large , you’ll want to consider crate pads designed to withstand heavy weight. Other features, like whether it’s waterproof or chew proof, should also be considered.

To help you choose the best dog crate pad for you and your pet, we’ve rounded up some of the best available and are sharing exactly when each might be useful.

Best Dog Crate Pads: 8 Comfortable and Durable Picks

Best overall dog crate pad.

Our Pick: PetFusion PuppyChoice Dog Crate Bed

A good crate pad is not only comfy for your pet, it’s easy to keep clean, too. This dog crate pad has both of those features at a reasonable price, making it our best overall pick. The inside foam pad is almost two inches thick and features a water-resistant, easy-to-remove microsuede fabric cover. Plus, to further prevent accidents from reaching the inside pad, there is a second completely waterproof layer between the cover and crate pad. If it gets dirty, the cover can be thrown into the wash to clean. It’s also super comfortable, and the surrounding bolsters offer a place for your dog to rest their head or lean on.

This crate pad may not be entirely indestructible, though, so if your dog tends to destroy their bedding, try our chew-proof crate pad pick below. But if your pup does get a little chew-happy with this pad, let the company know; they may be able to replace or refund your purchase.

• Available in several sizes so you can choose the pad that best fits your dog’s crate
• Water-resistant fabric cover and completely waterproof inner layer protect the foam pad
• Bolsters provide additional comfort
• Reasonably priced
• While it’s made of durable material, this dog crate pad is not completely chew proof

Best Waterproof Dog Crate Pad

Our Pick: PetMaker Large Waterproof Dog Crate Pad

For some dogs, a waterproof crate pad is a must. Puppies, senior dogs, and those who aren’t house trained can quickly ruin their crate pad unless it’s easy to clean. This waterproof crate pad won’t absorb liquids. Instead, the liquids pool on the waterproof nylon surface, where they’re easy to wipe away. This means that it won’t start smelling like urine and can be used again and again.

If a stain does occur, the mat can easily be flipped to the other side. And while this crate mat itself is not super thick (about an inch and a half), it seems to be strong enough and provide enough cushion to keep pets comfy.

• Waterproof material repels liquids instead of absorbing
• Thin yet strong cushioning keeps your pup comfy
• Nylon material is easy to wipe clean
• Limited sizing
• Because liquid doesn’t absorb, it may get onto your pet or other items in the crate

Best Chew-Proof Dog Crate Pad

Our Pick: K9 Ballistics Tough Dog Crate Pad

Not only is your pet chewing their crate pad a safety hazard, it can also mean you’re constantly buying new ones. This chew-proof dog crate pad keeps your pup from ingesting something they shouldn’t – and keeps you from spending extra money on replacements. It’s truly durable and one of the most chew-proof pads you can find. Unlike other beds, this one has an aluminum frame that the bedding is stretched across, eliminating any potential areas for your pup to sink their teeth into. Bonus: it’s also easy to clean and provides orthopedic support.

At over $100, this tough dog crate pad is significantly more expensive than other options. But the good news is that it could be the only crate mat you ever need to buy — especially since the company has a 120-day guarantee in which they’ll replace anything that is damaged for free.

• Safer for dogs who might try to chew and ingest their bedding
• Aluminum frame and durable material are built to last
• Orthopedic fill is easy on dog’s joints
• Simple to clean
• Much more expensive than other crate beds, but it may be worth the money if your dog’s a heavy chewer

Best Orthopedic Dog Crate Pad

Our Pick: Big Barker Orthopedic 4″ Dog Crate Pad

As dogs get older, they can develop arthritis and find it painful to lie in some positions. This orthopedic dog crate pad provides extra support to these areas, especially the elbows and hips. It’s filled with thick, supportive foam — a total of 4” — to take pressure off of your pup’s joints and give them a comfortable place to chill. 

The outer shell is durable and water resistant, so it’ll stand up to most accidents and dogs who might scratch their bedding before laying down. And while the price is on the higher side, this crate pad comes with a 10-year warranty that guarantees the foam will stay supportive.

• Thick foam cushion provides support for dog’s joints
• Durable, water-resistant material stands up to liquids and scratchy nails
• 10-year warranty guarantees the cushion never sags
• Higher price point compared to other dog crate pads

Best Plush Dog Crate Pad

Our Pick: Midwest Quiet Time Ombre Taupe Dog Bed

Sometimes you just want your dog to have a super-cozy, super-plush place to lie down. A crate bed like this one, which is filled with a poly fiber cushion and covered by a soft, tufted outside layer, can easily act as a crate pad and offers a nice place for your dog to relax. It isn’t waterproof, meaning it might not be good for pups prone to accidents, but it is machine washable for easy cleaning. For added convenience, this plush dog crate pad comes in a wide range of sizes, and it’s highly affordable, with prices starting around just $15.

• Soft, cozy design 
• Available in multiple sizes, from XXS to XXL
• Machine washable
• Great price point
• Not ideal for dogs who have accidents or like to chew 

Best Crate Pad for Big Dogs

Our Pick: Bully Beds Orthopedic, Washable & Waterproof Big Dog Bed

Big dogs need thicker mats that can stand up to their weight and provide protection for their joints. This is technically a dog bed, but its various sizes fit well into crates, too. Not only is this bed large, it’s also 7” thick and filled with supportive foam. It has two layers of cover, both of which are removable and washable: the outside is a soft microfiber, and the second layer provides waterproof protection. Another plus is that the non-slip base keeps it from sliding around and potentially injuring your pet.

This crate pad is a pricey investment, so it may not be ideal for pets who like to destroy their bedding. But for other dogs, it could be worth the cost. It even promises to stand up to big dogs so well that it comes with a 20-year “no flat” guarantee.

• Large size options and thick foam make this crate pad ideal for most dogs
• Great for dogs with orthopedic issues as well
• Two layers of protection: a soft microfiber outer with an inner waterproof layer
• Machine-washable cover
• 20-year “no flat” guarantee means the foam will stand up to big dogs
• Very high price point

Best Warming Dog Crate Pad

Our Pick: K&H Mocha Self Warming Crate Pad

If you live in a cold climate , giving your dog a warm place to curl up at night is a good idea. Fortunately, there are crate pads that are designed to hold in warmth without the need for any batteries or electricity. Instead, this crate pad uses a layer of insulation that captures your pet’s body heat and a layer of reflective material that gives it right back to them. But don’t worry, it will never get too hot — instead it provides constant, gentle warmth for your dog. The extra heat can also soothe your dog’s aches and pains, making this dog crate pad ideal for older pets. 

• Self-warming layers capture and reflect your dog’s own body heat
• Available in a range of sizes
• Removable cover is machine washable
• Thinner design will not provide as much cushion for larger, heavier dogs; may need to use it on top of another crate pad
• Not water resistant, so it may not be good for puppies prone to accidents

Best Cooling Pad for Dog Crates

Our Pick: Arf Pets Dog Cooling Mat

Dogs can’t regulate their temperature as well as humans, which makes them prone to overheating. This is especially true in hot climates and with dogs that have a thick coat. A cooling mat like this, which doesn’t require any refrigeration or electricity, can help keep your pet at a comfortable temperature. The inside of the mat is filled with a gel that is “activated” when your dog lays on the mat. While it won’t feel super cold, it will feel nice and cool — think of how wood or tile floors capture coolness — and stay like that for around three hours before needing a quick 15-minute period of non-use to “recharge.”

On its own, this cooling mat isn’t particularly cushioned, so if you want to provide extra comfort to your dog, you can use it as a topper to another dog crate pad. Be sure to check the size and weight limits before you buy, since each size can only accommodate a certain weight.

• Provides three hours of cooling before needing a 15-minute “recharge”
• No batteries or electricity required
• Made with non-toxic materials
• Great for senior dogs or those recovering from surgery
• Available in multiple sizes to accommodate dogs of varying weights
• May need to be combined with a thicker crate mat to provide additional comfort

What Is a Dog Crate Pad?

A dog crate pad is used to line the bottom of the crate to make it more comfortable, since crates typically have a hard metal or plastic floor. Crate pads for dogs are similar to dog beds , but crate pads are typically sized to the crate and can vary in thickness and material. 

If your dog will be spending hours in their crate — especially if that’s where they sleep at night — adding padding or something soft makes it easier on their joints. By creating a comfier place for your dog to sleep, it may also encourage them to enjoy their crate more.

Types of Dog Crate Pads

The type of dog crate pad you choose depends a lot on the age and behavior of your pet. For example, puppies might need something waterproof and chew proof, while seniors might need an orthopedic pad to support their joints. Let’s take a look at some common types of crate pads.

Waterproof and Water Resistant

For dogs who aren’t completely house-trained or those prone to accidents, try a waterproof or water-resistant crate pad. Waterproof means that absolutely no liquids will seep through, while water resistant usually means it will repel liquid but may not totally prevent the liquid from saturating the mat. These types of crate pads are ideal for puppies and senior dogs alike.

Chew Resistant

No crate pad can be completely chew proof, but there are a number of options that will at least make chewing very difficult. For puppies or destructive dogs, finding a crate pad that keeps them comfortable without the risk of being torn apart — or of your dog potentially ingesting something they shouldn’t — is important. 

You can also take steps to make sure chewing won’t happen. “As for puppies, observe them with a dog bed or crate pad outside the crate,” says Lizzy Flanagan , a force-freee dog trainer. “If they don’t chew it, try leaving the bed in the crate for a few minutes and build duration from there!”  

Orthopedic bedding is often made with thick foam that supports your dog’s joints. Arthritis is a common ailment for dogs, and choosing an orthopedic crate mat takes the pressure off sensitive areas, like hips and elbows. Plus, all dogs can use an orthopedic crate pad, not just seniors.

If you can trust your dog not to chew their bedding and aren’t worried about accidents, you can also choose super-plush crate pads that cuddle your pet and make them feel extra comfy. 

Ultimately, the best crate pad is the one that your dog loves — and keeps them safe.

Our Selection Process

When compiling our list of the best dog crate pads, we considered the following:

Design: We looked at all the design features that could impact the comfort, functionality, and safety of each crate pad.

Ease of Use: A crate pad is only as helpful as its convenience factor, so we made sure to pay special attention to ease of use/cleaning for each pick on our list.

Customer Reviews: Because it never hurts to have other pet parents weigh in when you’re making a purchase, we kept an eye on customer ratings and reviews.

Price: Depending on your needs/budget, you may have a specific price range in mind for your dog crate pad. That’s why we called out pads that are a great value, as well as those that have a bit of a higher price tag.

Dog Crate Pad Buying Guide

Besides the personality, size, and age of your pup, here are a few other things to consider when purchasing a dog crate pad. 

Safety. The crate is a place where your dog goes to be secure, so you want to make sure the crate pad won’t be a hazard. “Since crate time is often unsupervised, safety is a factor,” explains Flanagan. “If your dog is a super-chewer and enjoys de-stuffing toys, [they] will likely do the same to a stuffed bed!” Flanigan suggests choosing a durable pad/bed or skipping it altogether. 

Ease of Cleaning. Waterproof crate pads and washability are another important feature for a lot of pet owners. “If your dog is a drooler or sheds a lot, choose a crate pad or bed that washes easily,” advises Flanagan. Otherwise, you may find yourself needing to repurchase crate pads often as they begin to smell.

Comfort. And finally, the comfort of your dog is very important. Some dogs might like plush beds that they can cocoon in, and other dogs may prefer orthopedic options. “Senior dogs benefit from a bit of extra cushion. Memory foam is an excellent option for all dogs, especially seniors and dogs with joint pain,” says Flanagan.

Dog Crate Pad FAQs

Do dogs need crate pads?

Dog crate pads aren’t an absolute necessity, especially if your pet is destructive and the crate pad has the potential to be shredded or eaten. But for senior pets, crate pads can certainly make them more comfortable. If your dog tends to destroy crate pads but you still want them to have a cozy place to sleep, look for waterproof and chew-proof options. You can also consider waterproof dog blankets if your dog is prone to chewing pads. 

How do you wash a dog crate pad?

Ideally, the dog crate pad will be machine washable, whether you can toss the entire pad into the wash or just remove the cover. Be sure to read the instructions on your crate pad so that you wash it correctly and don’t risk shrinking the material. It’s also a good idea to spot clean the crate pad occasionally to keep it from becoming scuzzy.

Can you put a dog bed in a crate?  

A dog bed can be used in a crate, but a specially sized crate pad will fit better and be more comfortable for your dog. Try to choose one that’s the same size as the crate to ensure it fits snugly and won’t slide around or bunch up under your pup.

Commonly purchased with

Your car-ride companion. Your travel buddy. Your furry co-pilot. No matter his official road-trip title, your dog loves coming along for the adventure. The Happy Ride® Collapsible Travel Crate will give him a comfy place to ride where he'll be safely contained, not restrained. 

This dog travel crate is spacious without taking up the entire back seat. It fills up only one seat, so you'll still have room for human passengers. In this roomy crate, your dog will feel like he's lounging in a screened-in porch rather than a travel kennel. The large mesh front and sides let your dog see everyone inside the car and help keep him from getting too hot or cold. It also gives your dog visibility to look out the car window and lets you easily peek into the back seat to check on him.

Inside the dog travel crate is a pad with a fleece cover to help your pet feel extra cozy in the car. The removable fleece cover is waterproof and machine washable, so you can easily wash away dirty pawprints or other messes. The outer shell of the collapsible crate can also be removed and tossed in the washing machine after extra messy adventures. 

You won't have to worry about the travel crate moving when your pet does. Loop the headrest strap over the front seat's headrest and pass the seatbelt through slits on the back of the crate to keep it in place. A layer of fabric hides the seatbelt from your pet, so they won't be tempted to use the seatbelt as a chew toy on a long drive. 

This car crate has 2 doors that fully unzip to help you easily get your pet in and out of the car, whether the crate is behind the driver's seat or the passenger's seat. The crate also has 2 storage pockets with a hook and loop closure to keep your dog’s leash, poop bags and treats packed and tidy while on the road. There are 2 drawstring openings, one on each side of the travel crate, so you can reach in to give your dog an extra pet (or treat) without unzipping the door. 

When you arrive at your vacation rental, or if you need to make some more space in your car, this portable dog crate easily folds down for convenient storage until you and your dog hit the road again. Your pet deserves to road trip in comfort, safety and style. Trust PetSafe® to keep your pet healthy, safe and happy.

• Keep your dog from freely roaming around the car while you’re driving
• Travel crate folds down for easy storage when not in use
• Roomy travel crate gives your pet plenty of space to get comfy during car rides
