New Fido Nook - The 2-in-1 Luxury Dog Bed And Crate

Fido Nook Size and Breed Guide

The Fido Nook is available in two different sizes so whether you have a small dog such as a Chihuahua, Yorkie, Schnoodle, Pomsky or a larger breed such as a Spaniel, Cockapoo, Goldendoodle or Labrador there's a Nook that's just right for them.

The Fido Nook 24 has an internal width of 63cm / 25in and has been specially designed for smaller dogs. Breeds such as the Chihuahua, Chorkie, Puggle, Dachshund, Lhasa Apso, Chug, Pomeranian, Pug or Yorkshire Terrier are ideally suited to the Fido Nook 24. If you are using it without the crate, then slightly larger breeds such as the Schnoodle (Schnauzer Poodle cross), Maltipoo (Maltese and Poodle cross), Yorkipoo (Yorkie and Poodle cross), Pekeapoo Pekingese and Poodle cross) and Cavapoo (Pip the star of our photoshoot is a Cavapoo) are also suitable.

The large dog crate furniture Fido Nook 36 has an internal width of 96cm / 38in and has been designed to accommodate larger dogs. Bulldogs, Spaniels, Whippets and other such similar breeds will feel right at home in the Fido Nook 36. If you are using without a crate then larger breeds such as the Bassador (Basset hound and Labrador cross), Labradoodle (the star of our photoshoot is a Labradoodle called Treacle and is a cross between a labrador and a poodle), Goldendoodle (Golden Retriever Poodle cross) and labradors are also suitable.

And of course, if you have a good old fashioned Mutt then there's a Fido Nook for them too!

Avoid Draughts, Bumps And Discos

Raised off the ground, the Fido Nook offers many advantages over simply placing a dog bed on the floor. By placing your dog’s bed inside the sturdy wooden walls of the Fido Nook you will protect it from accidental bumps and disturbances that happen in busy households. Your dog will happily sleep, blissfully unaware that you’ve just vacuumed the living room and if the kids are having an impromptu disco your dog can take a break from the dancefloor.

It can be surprisingly draughty low down in a house and raising your dog’s bed by placing it in the Fido Nook will also protect your pet from catching a chill. Providing your dog with their own secluded space such as the one offered by the Fido Nook can not only make them feel more comfortable but has also been proven to improve confidence and overall behaviour. This is especially true when socialising and raising puppies or slightly older dogs with a tendency to be nervous.

Transferring Your Dog Crate to the Car Made Easy

Using a dog crate when you and your dog are going on a car journey is the safest way to transport your dog. One of the many great features of the Fido Nook is that it is fully compatible with the Fido Classic dog crate as well as crates from most other manufacturers.

The easy release mechanism on the Fido Nook is the first of its kind on any piece of dog furniture. To operate, simply raise the levers, which neatly clip into the stow position, and then remove the crate. You can now take your dog crate out to the car. When you return simply slide the dog crate back into the Fido Nook and move the levers into the lock position. A sound proof material quietly secures each lever against the dog crate and ensures that you and your pet are not disturbed.

See the below section on dimensions to check if your existing travel crate or dog bed will fit into the Fido Nook.
