Orthopedic dog beds of premium quality offer a dense cushion that would drive canine ancestors wild. Unlike predecessors who rested in dug shallow pits of the earth, dogs of today sleep on joint supported foam technology.

That’s right.  Some of the very same material your own bed or mattress cover consists of has been designed to relieve your pet's very same aches and pains.

Is the orthopedic dog bed an upscale pillow, or down to earth cushion comfort?

Calluses, arthritis and hip dysplasia or other joint diseases are the first reasons that come to mind when considering a therapeutic foam cushion. What about recovery from injury or surgery? Begin the healing process by preventing bed sores with medical-grade support. Compassionate dog owners know that this egg carton look-alike offers firm therapy for the boo-booed one.

Let’s consider for a moment what the working class breeds have scheduled in their daily planner… ...do you have a responsible herder or hunter? What would soothe a tired leader of the pack more than a bowl of chow?  Thank him for all his effort by placing an orthopedic dog mattress bed in his sleeping quarters for sundown slumber.  He'll be awake at the crack of dawn thanking you, wet nose and all, for a restful night's sleep. Honor the fire or police dog in the family with a place to collapse other than the cold hard floor make it easier to stand up when the beeper goes off in the middle of the night.

In the doghouse resides your watchdog who guards your territory into the wee hours.  She may be sleeping every time you walk by, ahh, but she‘s on duty nonetheless.  Designed with your 24/7 home front hero in mind; indoor/outdoor, weather proof beds offer orthopedic comfort within a washable surface.

Last, but respectfully not least, we have our 8 year olds and over - our senior citizens. Some may be lazy, some overweight from years of sneaking crumbs off the table and floor. Naps been earned; toss 'em a bone cushioning reward of an orthopedic dog bed.  These loyal canines have given us a lifetime of memories.  We owe it to them to provide a haven for aging bones. Take care of that special one in your life.

FYI -- The greater the density of foam material of choice, the greater the support. This material disperses and reduces pressure on tender elbows and hips. The greater the support the more workmanship is involved. Obviously, the type of foam material used and/or the combination of size and features effects investment.  Specialty beds heat or cool within a layer of comfort.

Size-n-Shape. An orthopedic dog bed is not a one size fits all. Bigger is not necessarily more comfy, neither is purchasing smaller to save money. Yes, you do need to measure your dog while he’s in a normal sleeping position. It is recommended to add 12” to the area covered and you have the proper fit for your new orthopedic bed.  Shape matters. Choosing between rectangle, oval, or round depends on how your dog prefers to slumber.  For the head propping pooch, wrap around bolsters or side pillows are attached.

No excuse for being tired, cold, and cranky with the huge selection of comfortable orthopedic dog beds.
