WHY DOGS LOVE THE KONA CAVE® SNUGGLE CAVE BED

Why Do Dogs Sleep Under Blankets?

Understanding your dog’s natural den instincts — and how a Snuggle Cave® bed fulfills them.

Why Do Dogs Like Sleeping Under Blankets or Covers?

Many dog parents ask: “Why does my dog sleep under blankets?” The answer lies in instinct.

Before domestication, dogs were den animals. In the wild, they sought protected, enclosed spaces — caves, burrows, and sheltered overhangs — where they could rest safely with their back supported and their body covered.

Sleeping under blankets mimics that den-like protection. It provides warmth, security, and a calming sense of enclosure. This behavior helps reduce anxiety and allows dogs to fully relax.

The Science Behind Burrowing Behavior

When dogs scratch bedding, push into cushions, or crawl under covers, they are recreating their ancestral sleeping environment. Covered spaces:

  • Provide warmth and temperature regulation
  • Create a secure boundary around the body
  • Reduce external stimulation
  • Help ease stress and nervous energy

This is why so many dogs naturally burrow under blankets at night.

The Only Patent-Protected Snuggle Cave® Dog Bed

KONA CAVE® Snuggle Cave® Dog Beds are specifically engineered to fulfill these natural den instincts — without your dog disappearing under your duvet.

  • Removable soft center mattress for nesting and fluffing
  • Supportive bolster sides for back protection
  • Cozy cave canopy that mimics sleeping under blankets

The cave canopy gently rests over your dog’s back like a blanket, creating a safe, anxiety-reducing sleep environment.
