Over The Top OTT Memory Foam Lounger Dog Bed, Blackwatch Tartan, Medium

Product Information

A dog's bathroom accidents are no fun to clean up. Unfortunately, these accidents are common in dogs who suffer from incontinence, often caused by health conditions like spinal injury and bladder stones. The Brindle Waterproof Designer Memory Foam Pet Bed is ideal for these dogs who just can't make it outside in time or who can't go to the bathroom as other dogs do and must wear diapers.

The Yeti Trailhead Dog Bed is a versatile two-in-one dog bed that provides comfort for dogs at home and on the road. Our expert, Rachel Bean, says yes, orthopaedic beds are well worth buying, “especially for older and arthritic dogs”. But what makes a mattress orthopaedic? It all comes down the material it’s made out of. Although not orthopaedic, the foam mattress offers a spongy yet firm surface and the extra large size gives them plenty of room to stretch out - something which can be hard to come by for very big dogs. They also won’t be machine washable so aren’t as easy to clean, so you may have to spot clean. If your dog does like to be high up, there are also beds that sit flat on the floor but are quite chunky so still require a step up. Does a puppy need a dedicated bed? Dogs can sleep on a hard surface, but they prefer having somewhere cosy to lie down. However, too soft isn’t great for healthy joints, so try to find something that offers adequate support. Are raised beds better for dogs?The bed's foam is certified by CertiPUR-US, meaning that it is free from harmful chemicals such as formaldehyde and heavy metals. With zippers on three sides, I had no problem removing the microsuede cover for washing.

Measure your pooch from the base of their tail to the tip of their nose, which gives you a good maximum standard size to play with. Then consider how they sleep in a dog bed – will they want something a bit smaller and cosier so they can curl up, or something even longer so their paws and legs can stretch out? There is no "best," as every dog is different. "Dogs have individual preferences and should be given options," says Martin.

The chewers and scratchers of the dog world need a bed that can withstand even the most aggressive munching and scratching habits. You'll be hard-pressed to find a dog that can destroy the K9 Ballistics Tough Rectangle Dog Comfort Bed, which is made from a rip-stop fabric that's cool to the touch. Plus, the bed comes with a chew-proof warranty. If your dog damages the bed within 120 days of receiving it, the company will give you a one-time-only store credit to replace the bed. We only looked for beds with washable covers – unzip it from the foam padding centre, and put it in the washing machine according to instructions. It won’t only smell nicer but will keep your dog cleaner too. Some beds are even entirely washable as they are. The Heyday was introduced several years ago and, ever since then, it's been our golden retriever tester's favorite bed. That's saying a lot because she normally doesn't like beds. She has two and both have held up well throughout the years, even through numerous washes and spot cleanings. Despite having raised sides, they are soft, so if your dog wants to cuddle in a corner they can. The next day, they can stretch out and you don’t have to worry about the bed losing its shape. 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 roundup was written by Anna Mejorada, a writer for The Spruce Pets, who shares her home with a pomeranian named Gidget. Before researching and writing about pet products for a living, Mejorada embarked on a self-mandated, ongoing quest to find the optimal items for her dog. She is now delightfully devoted to helping humans discover and select the most favorable products for their pets. It is donut-shaped so dogs can automatically assume a rounded, calming position. Plus, there's a natural crevice around the bed's circumference that allows dogs to burrow deep into the sides, adding another layer of comfort. Two tips to help if you have a chewer in your house: Rotate your dog's toys so they don't see the same 3 (or 25!) toys all the time. "This could cause their bed to be the new chew toy," says Amber Walker, KPA-CTP, a dog trainer in Batavia, Illinois. Then consider a chew toy that matches the texture of the bed so you can redirect them to a toy their mouth is craving if they begin chewing on the bed. Of course, some dogs do consume toy parts when chewing so be mindful of that, she added. The world can sometimes be a scary and stressful place for a dog. Having a safe, cozy space to curl up can help dogs feel calmer by providing warmth and psychological comfort. The super-soft Best Friends by Sheri the Original Calming Donut Dog Bed earned our top spot for calming dog beds. Every time she is in the bed, she uses the outer cushion as a pillow," said our tester, who has a senior dog at home. "She apparently loves it."Although this bed was too small for my golden retriever and golden/lab testers, my cat slept in it regularly. If there's anybody who knows something about finding warm spots, it's a cat, so getting his paw of approval confirms that the bed provides a good level of warmth. We selected 21 of the latest, top-performing orthopedic dog beds available and sent each one to a real home with a real dog (sometimes dogs!) for real-world testing. The Heyday Bed has an incredibly soft top and microsuede bottom that stays put on hardwood floors. The beauty of this product, and the biggest reason it landed at the top of our list of the best dog beds, is its versatility. Four pillowy sides give it a bolster-like feel. The sides are low enough that any dog can easily get in and out of it, including senior pups with arthritis. Because the sides are not super high, this bed will appeal to dogs who love — and don't love — bolsters. With a bolstered edge around most of the perimeter, the PetFusion Ultimate Dog Bed can accommodate your dog's unique sleeping habits. This is really a personal preference, Rachel says. Some dogs feel more secure in an enclosed space and a bed with sides can provide a feeling of being held and hidden. However, a bed with no sides, or a dog cushion, might be better for allowing your dog to fully stretch out.

Casper is renowned for its human mattresses, so you can rest assured that you're getting a high-quality product with the Casper Dog Bed. It's made from pressure-relieving memory foam that feels supportive and durable. Small bolsters on each side give dogs a spot to rest their heads, but there's plenty of room on the bed's interior if your dog wants to go bolster-free. Applying a cooling element has been shown to help reduce inflammation in joints, according Countner, so an orthopedic bed with built-in cooling gel can provide an extra level of comfort for your aging dog. The Sealy Lux Orthopedic Dog Bed is made with memory foam and cooling gel to dissipate heat while your dog is resting.Although expensive, you’re paying for a full piece of furniture here, not just a dog bed. This is perfect for smaller spaces, where the idea of having a dog bed taking up room is unappealing. With this, you’ve got the drawer and surface space on top, allowing the bed to fit seamlessly into your home and provide extra storage (which admittedly has ended up being used for dog toys, leads and treats). Comfort: We considered how the beds felt, even curling up in them ourselves. When our dogs lay in the beds, we observed them for signs of discomfort or relaxation. If your dog likes to prop their head up while they sleep, as my golden/lab foster does, this bed has a headrest on one side. And if not, your pup can choose just to lie flat. There's plenty of space for your dog to move about and even invite a canine (or human) friend for a slumber party. Remember that a raised dog bed is pretty plain, with no cushioning or soft plush sides so you’ll have to jazz it up with other blankets. While they won’t be for every dog, some are inexpensive so could be worth trying for any dogs who don’t seem to like other forms.
