What are the internal measurements of the Dog Pod?Updated 3 hours ago

We get asked this a lot — and we totally understand why. But here’s the honest answer:

Because of the soft, malleable nature of the Dog Pod, internal measurements don’t tell the full story and can often be misleading.



Why internal measurements aren’t the best guide

Unlike a hard plastic box or crate, the Dog Pod is designed to be plush, padded, and flexible. That means:

  • Your dog gently sinks into the Pod when they lie down

  • The side walls give slightly as your dog moves and shifts position

  • The full base area becomes usable as your dog settles into the shape of the bed

So while we could give you a number, it might make the space seem smaller than it actually feels in real use — especially for dogs that curl up or like to nest.




The better way to check fit: footprint measurements

Instead of internal dimensions, we recommend using the outer footprint of the Pod — this gives you a much clearer sense of whether it’s suitable for your dog.

  • Original Pod footprint: 53cm wide x 47cm deep

  • XL Pod footprint: 100cm wide x 52cm deep

To check fit at home:

  • Have your dog lie down as they would in the car

  • Mark out the Pod footprint on the floor with tape or cushions

  • See how comfortably they fit within that space

If your dog can comfortably curl up or lie down within those dimensions, they’ll be just fine.




Still unsure?
