Harris
Dog Sleeping Bag
Every outdoor lover and their dog will definitely want to get their paws on our durable, lightweight, water-resistant, and robust Harris Dog Sleeping Bag.
Designed and Tested around the Scottish Highlands, this sleeping bag has lived out the back of our van for the last year whilst we’ve been testing it.
It has so many awesome uses and is as happy in the back of the car/truck or in your tent as it is on the forest / wilderness floor. take it for sleepovers instead of a whole bed! Use it as a changing mat for after biking in the car park then let your dog chill out post ride whilst you chill with your beer.
Although you would think some dogs would be happy to sleep outside in some hotter countries, not so much here in the UK on a summers night. Even then, offering your dog somewhere comfortable for a rest or a good night’s sleep is really important when you are adventuring together to let them rest and rehabilitate for the next day, just like you.
We tested this very Harris Sleeping Bag pictured over the course of the past two years to put it through its paces whistl we coultn do much else after the pandemic and we can comfortably say it’s as happy being used as a change mat after a days biking at Laggan Wolftraxx in the dirt as it is being used on a multi day camping trip by bike or by van.

WARMTH: If your thinking about taking your dog camping or will be going away in your motorhome this season, investing in a sleeping bag/mat is the perfect way to keep your dog cosy and comfortable. The Harris sleeping bag is made from high quality recycled insulation to ensure your dog is kept at a comfortable temperature whilst at rest. It is worth considering where you plan to camp and how cold it may get in the later seasons especially in the hills when weather can change so its important to have a good quality sleeping bag like this to ensure your dog doesn’t get cold or wet which can lead to chills and pneumonia.
DURABILITY : We have been testing out our Harris sleeping bag in different conditions from rocky outcrops, dusty tracks to classic damp and dewy Scottish summer mornings and it’s still in tip top condition. This dog sleeping bag has been designed to withstand any kind of adventure which is reflected in the quality of the YKK zips, reinforced stitching, material choice and design.We have machine washed this bag on a light cycle and air dried to freshen up which is really easy to do using the two hang tabs on each side of the bag
WATER RESISTANCE : Our Harris Dog Sleeping Bag is ready to deal with the thrills and spills of adventure life.
COMPACTABILITY: Despite being available in a full range of sizes suitable from Jack Russels to Retrievers our Harris Dog Sleeping Bags compact down well using a classic stuff sack system with webbing straps which makes this bag great for bike packing and camping as well as campervanning.

Gemma –
Awesome bit of kit. Packs down nice and small. Hardwearing outer fabric. Padded enough to use as a travel mat. Good quality zips.
Laura and Ralph! –
Love this and the dogs do too!
The bag has multiple uses as either a sleeping bag, bed or opens to give a larger mat area. Great for Ralph who loves the outdoors and gets quite cold after a swim as he can tuck inside and get warm but handy when the retrievers decide it’s their turn and they all want to lie on it!
We took the bag biking at the weekend. It was very dusty at Revo , but the outer cover wiped down with a damp cloth. It’s a great tough outer fabric, ideal for the dogs clambering all over it and I’m sure will be well travelled with us on our adventures!
Definitely recommended!
Amy and Rowan –
This is such a great doggy sleeping bag! Recently used it to go camping and I’m pretty sure Rowan appreciated the extra protection from the cold ground. It is nice and thick to provide extra insolation for your pup, with the added plus of being light enough not to add to much weight to our pack.
We camped in quite a peaty area so the sleeping bag got quite dirty, but with a quick wipe with a damp cloth it was easily cleaned.
The colour of the bag is absolutely beautiful and the outer fabric feels heavy duty so there is no worry of wear and tear through our adventures!
It is definitely an asset to anyone’s doggy adventure kit.
Lhotse –
We got the large for our large pup (lab x GWP) as we had a backpacking trip coming up It is a great doggy sleeping bag, and our pup had a perfect night sleep. It’s nice and padded and has zips that fully open it up. We managed to zip our pup inside so he stayed warm all night, with only his head poking out.
The colours are amazing and the fabric is really durable.
Easy to pack away into its bag. And secure to our backpacks.
Highly recommend.

I purchased one of these sleeping bags for my spaniel who hates the cold. We started camping last year and what a difference having this sleeping bag makes for her being away on trips. I’m convinced it’s warmer than mine. She settles down to sleep in it in no time at all, it’s waterproof which is essential in Scotland. Wipes clean too. I can’t fault this product and it seems so well made, really comfy for her to sleep on.
Would absolutely recommend this product, great value for money, and an essential for camping with your dog. We love it, thank you!

Thank you so much for your amazing review Rachel. We’re so glad to hear you love our sleeping bags as much as we do! Happy Summer Adventuring! – Kaz
Skipp (verified owner) –
Absolutely amazing sleeping bag!! Skipp the 3 month old collie puppy has given it a thorough quality check with the material and seams withstanding his little needle teeth!! We use it constantly for his nest in the car getting it covered in sand as our daily walks are on the beach and the zips are still good as new! Skipp is also the most outdoorsy looking K9 whenever we go to the pub and he sleeps on his sleeping bag which gets him a couple extra treats from any bar staff!! All in all amazing quality and I have no doubts it will make a week camping in Cornwall so much more comfortable for little legs!! Thank you Bark and Ride!!!
