Orthopedic Dog Beds Provide Much Needed Support

Meant To Provide Comfort For Arthritic Dogs, Orthopedic Dog Beds
Reduce Pressure On Your Dog's Stiff And Painful Joints

What To Look For

Unfortunately the aging process isn't much different for dogs and like us, they too suffer with aches and pains.

When exploring the different choices of dog beds, always look for beds that offer a thick padding of at least 3" which is the standard. However, we recommend a 5" thickness for your older dog.

The thicker the padding the better. However, the standard Orthopedic Foam is not as dense as Memory Foam or Gel, therefore the Gel or Memory Foam beds do not need to be as thick.

If a bed is too soft, it lacks the necessary support that arthritic dogs need. The bed should always provide even weight distribution.

Know What Type Of Bed You Need

•  The size and weight of your dog.
•  Does he suffer with Arthritis or Hip Dysplasia?
•  Where will the bed be placed?
•  Provide enough room for him to stretch out comfortably.
•  Does he like to curl up?
•  Consider a heated Orthopedic Dog Bed.
•  If your dog is incontinent, consider a waterproof bed or you can place piddle pads on his new bed.

Designer Choices

Since they are higher quality, you can expect to pay a little more for them. Your dog can now have his own sofa bed, headrest or pillow-top bed that looks great and does the job for your best friend.

Types Of Orthopedic Dog Beds

•  Gel filled orthopedic beds are absolutely great for the aging pet or any dog that has arthritis or Hip-Dysplasia. They provide maximum support, comfort and superior weight distribution allowing your dog a much better sleep. As an added bonus, many of these beds can be thrown in the washer and dryer just as they are.

•  Memory foam was first developed by NASA years ago. These dog beds are also an exceptional choice of orthopedic dog bed since this foam conforms to your pet's body while reducing pressure and providing comfort.

•  Standard orthopedic beds are generally made with a 3" egg crate. Although these beds are probably the lowest in price, the above two options will provide much better support and comfort for your old dog.
