There are likely two reasons for this behaviour. Either something like one of their dog toys is under the dog bed - or they at least believe something is under the dog bed - while the other option is that it's just part of their lying down routine. This is similar to how they may circle a spot they normally lie in, and shouldn't be a real cause for concern.

However, if you are concerned that your pet bed is going to get damaged and covered in scruffs, then you may want to consider covering the bed with duvets to protect it. Otherwise your nice white, faux fur dog bed might end up grey after a few nights of sleep. This could be especially true if you have an extra large dog, which is why we only sell quality products that can withstand the scruffs that come with tough love. If you look at their old soft toys, then you should get an idea of how delicate they are with their products. 

It varies for each dog. For some owners, they may have a rambunctious Greyhound that gets wet all the time, meaning an extra-large, machine washable and waterproof bed that can handle a few scruffs would be necessary. For others, a relaxed and small pet like a chihuahua may just need somewhere away from the human's plush bed at night, in which case something woollen and as small as a cat bed may be enough for your pooch - not that we'd recommend a cat bed, of course. Memory foam is also an option for your dog bed which they may enjoy, while something like a grey faux suede bed may fit in nicely with your decor; something else that you need to consider. 

Before you purchase one, just consider your dog and what they're normally like before they go to sleep. We always recommend you buy bigger than your dog, too. Dogs rarely get smaller but are always growing until a certain age, so get them a bed that they can grow into instead of outgrow.
