If your dog suffers with arthritis, dysplasia, or some other joint problem then you will no doubt be looking for an orthopedic dog bed. If you have done any research on orthopedic beds for dogs, you may be just as confused with the choices as before you started!
I have spent days researching this subject and I believe I have uncovered the best orthopedic dog bed . More importantly, I have discovered that most memory foam dog beds have a hidden danger which you need to know about.
While researching and looking for the best orthopedic dog beds I found that many of them were made from memory foam. I had heard some negative things about memory foam and so I decided to look into this material in more depth.
How to Buy an Orthopedic Dog Bed
It breaks our hearts to watch our beloved dogs suffer as they grow older. Just like us humans, dogs can suffer from arthritis, joint issues, and sore muscles. An estimated 10 million dogs in the United States have been diagnosed with arthritis, and 31 percent of dog owners say that bone and joint problems are an issue for their pets. Choosing an orthopedic dog bed can help relieve the pain and tenderness.
Many dog beds claim to be ‘orthopedic’ yet are not truly orthopedic.
Orthopedic dog beds can help to relieve pain and discomfort caused by arthritis, hip dysplasia, and other joint problems faced by older dogs.In this video we take a close look at a veterinarian approved orthopedic dog bed made of memory foam that helps releive the pressure on sore joints. We are happy to be offering this orthopedic dog bed here in Canada.
Make Your Own Orthopedic Dog Bed
With Stan’s bad back and advancing years, I felt we should transition to an orthopedic dog bed. Orthopedic dog beds are typically filled with foam filling made to cushion and support joints and bones, great for senior, arthritic and disabled dogs.
I spent months researching orthopedic dog beds online and in stores. I’d find one I liked online, go see it in person, only to find that it didn’t meet my standards. Either the foam wasn’t thick enough, the bed was way too big, or way too small. Stan’s a small dog, but he’s surprisingly long when he stretches out.  And I didn’t want memory foam—I wanted egg crate (personal preference).
All the good beds were priced higher than I wanted to pay, especially sight unseen. Some of the reviews of the beds were questionable. So, I decide to take matters into my own hands and make a semi-homemade orthopedic dog bed.
