An orthopedic dog bed is beneficial not just for your older dog. If you just bought home that new, adorable puppy and haven’t gotten them a doggy bed yet, you might want to consider getting an orthopedic, thick memory foam bed. A typical pet naps and sleeps some fourteen hours a day! Fox News reported that some 83% of dogs sleep at night in their people’s beds. But where does your dog or puppy nap during the daytime? Does your puppy nap curled up next to your older dog during the day? If your dog older than 8 years? Does your older dog have trouble going up and down stairs? Has your vet addressed any joint or hip problems in your pet? Does your older dog usually nap on the couch but now has trouble jumping up onto it? Does your older dog sleep in bed with you but you have to help the dog get in and out of it? Does your dog weigh over 60 lbs.? Is your dog a German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, St. Bernard or Bloodhound? (Larger breeds are more likely to suffer from hip dysplasia. Hip dysplasia is inherited and causes arthritis). If you have answered yes to any of the above questions, then answer this, if your dogs sleep with you at night on a thick, firm mattress, but during the day, where are they napping? A three inch thick medical grade memory foam crate pad may help to keep your puppy’s joints healthy as he grows. If you have an older dog with a puppy they may be already sharing a napping space. Your older dog benefits from a great crate pad if you have noticed he has been going up and down the stairs a little slower than usual. If he’s not jumping up and down as much. Depending on the layout of your bedroom, you may not have the room to place one of those pet steps that allow your dog to step up into the bed. There are also self warming doggy beds that your dog might love too. I bought my older, 14 1/2 year old Standard Schnauzer, a Self Warming Lounger Sleeper and she loves it! She sleeps better and longer at night because of it. I now bring it into the den during the daytime so she has it to nap in too. My three year old Standard Schnauzer naps on a three inch memory foam pad. A memory foam dog bed forms to the shape of your pet and is temperature sensitive too, still making it a great choice for any dog at any age. There are now Dog Sofas that are also made with three inches of medical grade orthopedic foam and have the added benefit of overfilled bolsters. You might want to consider a doggy bed that is a heated bed. If you find your pet spends time in a basement, garage or any space that tends to be on the cold or drafty side, then a soft, orthopedic bed that uses safe, uniform low wattage will keep your pet warm while napping. If you get to sleep on a memory mattress, then so can your pet! Choose a size that will allow your dog room to stretch out in too.
