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

Product Information

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 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. While it carries a high price tag, the Yeti Trailhead Dog Bed is great for both home and travel. For home use, it has cushioned sides for easy chin resting (a must for my golden/lab foster), a high-density foam interior, and a water-resistant, EVA molded bottom that provides greater durability and stays put on hardwood floors.

Even if your dog is an angel behavioural-wise, you will want a bed that is very sturdy with strong materials and a washable cushion. Materials such as nylon and tweed are heavy duty, and the best dog bed will be able to cope with both their sleeping habits and playtime/downtime. We only chose beds which are up to the task.

The orthopedic bed resembles the look of a furry rug which can add a decorative element to your space. It comes in three sizes to appeal to a variety of breeds. "The size was fantastic for my large dog and our smaller foster dog, both dogs ended up using it and enjoyed laying on it." Ease of cleaning: Beds that were easy to clean according to their care instructions or by spot-cleaning with a damp cloth received higher marks. The removable cover is water-resistant and machine-washable, and an additional waterproof liner surrounds the memory foam, so it easily stands up to drool and spills. Our tester found the bed easy to clean and made to last.

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. 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. Any dog can benefit from a supportive orthopedic bed. "Because dogs sleep for most of the day, it can be taxing on their body if they're lying on hard surfaces or nonsupportive bedding," says Dr. Felicity Moffatt, head of veterinary medicine for Dr. Treat, adding that owners of dogs that use orthopedic beds report significant reductions in joint pain and stiffness and improvements in quality of life.Below are our top choices for the best dog beds available to buy, whether you need something spacious for a Great Dane or something warm and cosy for your precious Chihuahua. If you’re looking for the epitome of doggy luxury, look no further. This is a handcrafted, cast iron bed that is almost certainly more comfortable than many human beds. In fact, it’s made exactly the same as the company’s human-sized beds. This reasonably priced orthopedic bed features a unique contour shape that sets it apart from other orthopedic dog beds. "My dog loves this simple, supportive bed," shared our tester. "The foam is at once supportive but also soft, and the sloping sides of the bed allow for my dog to rest her head comfortably." For senior dogs who are crate-trained, the Milliard Orthopedic Dog Bed is perfectly proportioned to fit into their personal safe space. It’s made from supportive egg crate foam that is designed to provide orthopedic support for aging pooches. "This bed has great support for him," remarked our tester who has a 13-year-old doggo with hip dysplasia. "He can very comfortably lay down fully [and] stand up much more efficiently."
