If your dog is on the bigger side, then the KOPEKS Orthopedic Dog Pillow is the one for you. Its plush suede cover will provide comfort and the anti-slip bottom will secure the bed in place. "My dogs melt into this bed," exclaimed our tester who has two considerably-sized canines, each weighing 90-95 pounds. "The support is great and the bed itself has a fluffy top and nice sides as well." This bed is actually good for younger dogs too because some breeds are prone to developing joint conditions as they grow. And this product is made to help them avoid that situation. The idea is to keep their joints mobile even into their golden years which not only keeps them active for a long time but also improves their quality of life.

For pups who like to burrow or needed added warmth and comfort, you can add a blanket or other item to the dog bed’s base. It is generous enough to fit other comfort items as well, such as a favorite toy. Next up is a premium quality orthopaedic dog bed from The Dog’s Bed. This is a waterproof bed with a solid five-centimetre, high-density memory foam. The base is a 10-centimetre highly stable support foam with a cover that is designed to fit your bed and match your decor seamlessly so that your little buddy is close to you. Another popular dog bed at a similar price point and durability is The Original Calming Shag Fur Donut Cuddler bed. While the Petfusion dog bed is breathable and sleek, the Donut bed has a plush shag fabric cover that warms as your pet rests. For pets who need or want to be toasty warm, the Donut is a great choice. Both options support your pet’s joints, have additional bolsters for headrests, and have washable covers to make cleaning a breeze. Petfusion Dog Bed v.

The so-called CERTI-PUR foam is also made without harmful chemicals and heavy metals, making it a really safe space for your pet.

If you live in a warmer climate, or you have hot summers, you may want to look for a memory foam mattress filled with gel foam. The gel keeps the dog bed from becoming too hot and provides a cooling sensation that is welcome when temperatures outside reach 90 degrees Fahrenheit. The first option you’ll want to consider is the mattress type. There are four choices here from the cheapest fibre fill, through orthopedic and memory foam, to cooling gel foam at the highest price point. This reduces the surface temperature of the mattress by 1-2 degrees, allowing your dog to dream in cool comfort. The cherry on top is a faux fur cover for ultimate luxury. It is soft and offers the right amount of support so that your dog can rest their joints comfortably. This is a waterproof mattress with a machine-washable cover that can handle some amount of daily biting and scratching. The foam is not meant to slump over time keeping it in the running for a long time. It will, however, expand a bit after it arrives. You can keep it next to the radiator or a warm corner in the house. Advantages:The bed does not have any built-in support to keep it in place, so we recommend placing it against a wall if it tends to shift. They understand that dogs are family and the structure of the mattress is such that your furry friend receives the support that a human orthopaedic mattress offers. As mentioned before, it is a heat-sensitive mattress which supports the skeletal system of the dog and protects their ligaments and joints. It has been tested with dogs of all sizes and medical conditions to make sure the mattress enhances their quality of life.
