Memory Foam Dog Bed
Before choosing a large orthopedic dog bed for your large dog, you need to measure your dog and consider a few other things.
Measure your dog from tip of nose to base of tail and from floor to head. You are now better equipped to determine the size of dog bed required.
Notice whether your dog prefers to curl or stretch when sleeping. Dogs usually prefer to curl themselves up or stretch themselves out while sleeping? This is important, as most dog beds are designed to only accommodate one of the two sleeping profiles. If your dog tends to switch between curl and stretch sleeping styles, then you can purchase a sofa style bed. Sofa styled large dog beds are both long and wide to accommodate a stretch sleeping style, sofa style beds also have bolstered sides to support the curling sleeper.
If your dog prefers to sleep in a curl or ball style, then measure the diameter of the dog’s body while sleeping. When purchasing a curl style bed, the diameter will help you identify the correct bed size.
You can now size the dog bed using the measurements that you noted earlier. Allow an extra 12 inches in addition to your dogs body size on both dimensions to ensure the bed is large enough to comfortably accommodate your pet. Ensure that there is an extra 8 inches on the diameter of a curl style bed.
Know the material used. Different fillers are used in orthopedic dog beds. But which is the best quality? Well we only need to look to the material used in beds for humans suffering from back pain or some other muscular skeletal condition. For maximum comfort and support, memory foam is the material of choice for their mattress. Egg crate foam is only used in human mattress toppers. In other words if it is not good enough for humans, why give your dog second best. If your dog is large, then you dog is probably also heavy and maximum support for your pet’s weight and body is needed.
With the above simple criteria you should now be able to better identify great orthopedic beds for dogs for your dog.
