Orthopedic Dog Beds

Poodle Beds

Orthopedic dog beds have improved greatly in quality over the last several years.  In fact, now some of the higher quality dog beds are made with memory foam, the same material used in higher priced human mattresses.

Orthopedic dog beds are great for older pets who have arthritis.  The foam helps to spread the pressure out over the whole body, so joints and bony places don't absorb a lot of the pressure.

Many people make the mistake of buying cheap dog beds.  The problem with cheap dog beds is that they commonly don't last very long and easily bottom out under heavier dogs.

Quality dog beds are made with several inches of memory foam or orthopedic foam.  The cover should be removable and washable.  If your dog's bed does not have a removable washable cover the lifetime value of that dog bed is expensive because it doesn't last very long and will have to be replaced soon.

Buying quality orthopedic dog beds will cost you a little bit more, but in the long run, they end up costing less, because they last for years and have removable, washable covers.

Also, many of the higher quality dog beds now have heaters in them.  Heaters are great to have in a dog bed if you live in a colder climate.

Heaters are also great to have if you have an older dog that has arthritis.  Heat has been proven to help relieve the pain of arthritis in humans as well as pets.

One great source for orthopedic dog beds is DrChrisPetCare.com.  They the largest selection of high quality dog beds available.

Many pet stores sell what look like pillows or lumps of fabric and pass them off as orthopedic dog beds.  They only offer dog beds made from manufacturers who have the highest reputations in delivering quality.

Large poodles can especially benefit from having a high quality dog bed.  Bedding made out of high quality material offers a better level of support and will not bottom out as other brands do.

When buying a poodle bed, make sure you buy the size of bed that will be needed for when your poodle is an adult.

This way they grow into the bed, and you will not have to replace it because your poodle has outgrown the size of the bed.
