A Den, Not Just a Bed
Some dogs don’t want to be out in the open when they sleep. They want to feel tucked in, surrounded, and safe — and the Klam gives them exactly that. Its signature clam-shell design wraps around your dog like a den, satisfying the natural instinct to seek an enclosed, sheltered space.
If your dog sleeps under blankets, wedges into corners, or looks unsettled in an open bed, the Klam is likely to be the answer you’ve been searching for.
The Klam is ideal for:
- Puppies who need a calm, secure space to settle into a sleep routine
- Senior dogs with arthritis or joint pain — the low entry point means no climbing
- Anxious or nervous dogs who feel more relaxed in an enclosed space
- Dogs who burrow under blankets or cushions at every opportunity

One Bed. Every Season.
Winter: Zip the sherpa lid on and your dog has a warm, insulated hideaway that holds body heat through the coldest nights.
Summer: Unzip and store the lid away — the open bed keeps airflow moving and your dog comfortable in the heat.
No need to buy separate beds for different seasons. The Klam does the job of two.
Handmade in Australia — Materials That Matter
Each Klam is individually crafted by Choozy, a small family business in South Australia’s Barossa Valley with over 30 years of experience making premium pet beds. This is not mass-produced overseas stock. Every bed is made to your order, with quality checked at every step.
What goes into every Klam:
- Dunlop foam base treated with Ultra Fresh antimicrobial technology — inhibits dust mites, bacteria, and odour-causing mildew so the bed stays fresher for longer
- Allergy-free fibre filling — hand-rolled and baffled to maintain loft and shape through repeated washing
- Washable sherpa fabric — soft, moisture-wicking, and easy to launder at home
Available colours: Taupe/Cream Sherpa · Navy/Cream Sherpa · French Navy patterned base/Navy Sherpa
Note: Colour availability may vary seasonally. We’ll confirm your options at time of order.
Sizing Guide — Finding the Right Fit
Think about how your dog sleeps. Dogs who curl up tightly can go with their body length; dogs who love to stretch out need more room. When in doubt, go up a size — your dog will thank you.
| Size | Dimensions | Best for (examples) |
|---|---|---|
| Medium | Outer dimension 56 × 52 cm (Inner sleeping area 52 × 42 cm) | Cavoodles, Jack Russells, Beagles, French Bulldogs — or a large cat or two |
| XL | 80cm × 60 cm | Whippet sized dogs: eg Kelpies, Border Collies, Staffies, Spaniels, Whippets |
Tip: If your dog is between sizes, or likes to stretch rather than curl, choose XL.
Not sure? Measure the spot where your dog currently sleeps. If it’s longer than 50 cm, go with XL.
Please note: all measurements are approximate. Depending on the fabric and fill used in your chosen product, finished dimensions may vary slightly.

This small wait is the trade-off for quality made in Australia — not a warehouse shelf.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will my dog actually take to it?
Dogs that burrow, nest, or seek enclosed spaces typically love the Klam from day one. If your dog sleeps under blankets, gravitates to tight corners, or seems unsettled in an open bed, the enclosed design is likely to make a real difference. The surrounding walls and optional lid give anxious dogs a sense of security that an open bed simply can’t offer.
Is it suitable for a dog with arthritis?
Yes. The supportive Dunlop foam base cushions pressure points and is gentle on sore joints. The low-rise entry means your dog doesn’t have to step up or climb — they can walk straight in. For dogs who feel the cold, consider pairing the Klam with a removable heated pad insert for extra warmth on cooler nights.
How do I wash it?
The outer sherpa cover zips off and is fully machine washable — cold water, gentle cycle, tumble dry low. The Dunlop foam base should be wiped down with a damp cloth only. The inner cushion can be spot cleaned or hand-washed.
Why does it take 3 weeks?
The Klam is made individually to your order by an Australian manufacturer. It’s not sitting in a warehouse waiting to be packed — it’s being made for your dog. That’s why the quality is so consistent, and why it’s worth the wait. We’ll keep you updated throughout.
Is it suitable for a puppy who chews?
The Klam is best suited to dogs who are past the heavy chewing phase. For puppies who are still destructive chewers, we recommend starting with a trampoline bed and transitioning to the Klam once they’ve settled.
