Pets When You Need An Orthopedic Doggy Bed

tr> You finally notice that your dog is no longer a puppy. Max no longer runs up and down the stairs but takes them one at a time. You start to count how many steps you have in your house. It could just be that after a long walk or game of frisbee that your dog shows signs of muscle or joint stiffness. Now is time to consider the many benefits of a plush, super soft, orthopedic medical grade foam doggy bed! Remember, most dogs sleep on the average of fourteen to sixteen hours a day. So what is your older dog sleeping on?

Another consideration is if your veterinarian has diagnosed your pet as having arthritis or hip dysplasia. Hip dysplasia is more common in larger dogs such as German Shepherds, Rottweilers and Golden Retrievers. This condition is inherited and means your dog may have an improperly formed hip joint. Providing a well made orthopedic bed, placed in a dry area is recommended to help in this situation. To read more about this please visit: http://www.aspca.org/pet-care/dog-care/hip-dysplasia.

A dog bed will also be low to the ground so as not to encourage jumping up onto a couch or the masters bed to sleep. Max will be able to just flop right down on a thick mattress. Cool fact: NASA developed memory foam! Memory form contours to your dog’s body and so helps with getting rid of any joint discomfort. The foam also keeps Max cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Look for a doggy bed or pet sofa bed that also have overfilled bolsters. Bolsters give extra support, not to mention how much your pet will love resting their head on such a comfortable pillow. My dog loves her new self warming bed so much that I try and remember to move it into the den during the daytime so she has it to nap on too!

There are also heated dog beds that can double as a crate pad. These come with safe, low wattage, dual thermostats located deep inside of soft, orthopedic foam. Look for a dog bed that has a removable cover for easy washing too. This is especially helpful if your older dogs has become incontinent, so you can quickly remove the cover before the foam is ruined. Remember to measure your dog to make sure you are buying a bed big enough for them to stretch out in too. (Or if they share sleeping space with another pet).
