A 30 lb dog typically lands in the medium range, but the best bed size depends on how your pup sleeps. As a quick rule, measure your dog from nose to base of tail while they’re sleeping, then add 6–10 inches for plenty of stretch and curl room. Most 30 lb dogs are comfortable on a medium bed, but sprawlers or long-bodied breeds may need a size up.

Most 30 lb dogs do well on a medium bed: 30–36 inches round or 30 x 20 to 36 x 24 inches rectangular. Size up if your dog sprawls or is long-bodied.
Many 30 lb dogs are medium-sized, often 16–20 inches at the shoulder and 24–30 inches from nose to base of tail. Always measure your individual dog for the best fit.
It depends on sleep style. Curlers often like a slightly snug, bolster-backed bed; sprawlers prefer a roomier surface. Choose a size that allows full stretch plus support.
