About Dog's Companion®
DogsCompanion.com is the international webshop of Dog's Companion®, a Dutch family business that has been making dog beds since 1994. Every bed we sell is designed and handmade in our own workshop in Breda, the Netherlands.
Our story
It started in 1994, when Karen Brekelmans founded Dog's Companion out of a love for dogs and an eye for design. Dog beds at the time were either comfortable or good-looking, rarely both. Karen set out to make one that was comfortable, durable and beautiful, and that mission hasn't changed since.
What began small grew into a trusted brand, and in 2010 we moved to our current, larger location in Breda, where the workshop, warehouse and showroom are today. In 2013 Karen's son Tom Donders took over the business, so the love for dogs and the attention to quality stayed in the family. We still run it that way.
What we make
Our dog beds are cushion-style beds with a separate inner bed and a removable, zippered outer cover. The inner bed is filled with new EPS pearls that mould to your dog's body and support muscles and joints, which is why our beds are so often chosen for older dogs or dogs with physical complaints. Your dog gets a resting place where it can truly relax.
The beds come in five sizes, from Extra Small for the smallest breeds to Superlarge for the very largest, and in more than 40 fabrics and colours: giant corduroy, double corduroy, velvet, canvas cotton, woven tartan, leather-look and a dirt-repellent coating for outdoor use. Whether you have a dachshund or a Great Dane, a puppy or a senior, there's a bed that fits your dog and your home.
Alongside the beds, we make replacement covers and sell EPS pearl refills, plus a small range of handmade leather leashes and collars.
Built to last a dog's lifetime
We deliberately choose quality and durability over disposability. When the filling loses volume after years of use, you simply top it up with EPS pearls instead of buying a new bed. The covers zip off, go in the washing machine, and stay firm and good-looking after years of washing. And because the covers are interchangeable, you can adapt the bed to a new interior or a new season without replacing it. A Dog's Companion bed should last a dog's lifetime.
Straight from our workshop to you
Dog's Companion® dog beds are only available through our own webshops, apart from the occasional country fair. We don't supply pet stores, wholesalers or marketplaces. Fewer links in the chain means you pay for the quality of the bed, not for the middlemen.
In principle every size and colour is in stock and ships from Breda. If you're in the area, you're welcome to visit our showroom, where you'll find the same range as online. See our opening hours below or contact us to make an appointment.
Shipping and payment
We ship to most European countries. Delivery times, shipping costs and available payment methods depend on the destination country. You'll see the exact options for your address in the checkout, and the details per country are on our Shipping and Payment methods pages.
