Dog Beds

[Ravensview]

Hello,
I am looking for recommendations for Dog beds, my pups are getting older and are in need of new beds, I am looking for some sources that sell good dog beds, I was looking at Orvis but the ones we priced out were over 700.00, which is a little steep for my pocketbook (even though the pups are worth it), when I say pups they are 10 and 9 years old.

ORVIS IS QUALITY. ALSO LOOK AT k9ballistics.com and kuranda.com FOR OTHER OPTIONS DEPENDING ON THE DOGS NEEDS.

We've got a 12 year old German Shepherd, 4 year old Lab, and a 6 year old mixed breed mutt... They go through beds like fat kids go through cake... I honestly gave up buying "nice" (expensive) beds for them a couple of years ago... It didnt matter if I bought them a $19 bed from Walmart, or a $199 "Orthopedic" bed from a pet store... in 90 days it was either shredded, or so beat up it no longer had any real integrity left in it..

We've resorted to buying Ruff Chew beds... Costco sells them for about $40.. I can get about 8-12 months out of them and have to replace them.. but thats better than $199 every 90 days... and theyre reasonably comfortable, spacious enough for the big dogs (the mutt is small), etc...

Ye, mine sleep on our queen size as well for nightly scratches and belly pets, but they do go to their beds as well 2 adults and 2 80# dogs gets snug, it’s nice when the temps fall below zero but gets hot in the summer

California King with a pillow top lol seriously though, as my dog got older, he started seeking out the absolute softest and most plush spot he could find. He hated the memory foam I got him, favoring the couch with pillows and stuff. Good luck on your search, it sucks when they start getting older.

Ye, it is always bittersweet, as they age, The memories, comfort and love that they have provided are priceless, but the pain I feel having to help them in the truck, or the look in thier eyes when you grab the shotgun and head out without them hurts, you know their hearts are there but their bodies just can’t endure, I find Myself shortening my bird hunts and spend more time enjoying my dogs at their pace.

Kong brand dog mattress at PetSmart or PetCo. Only dog bed my Great Dane couldn't destroy. Zippered cover made of ballistic nylon that you can remove from the foam form and wash in washer/dryer.

Seriously my pups are happy near me. My old girl Lola is about 15.5 enjoying this cheap dog bed.

My Pillow! For dogs

Pillow and cover are machine washable and dryable.

I use a memory foam mattress that's 4" thick and 48" long by Brindle. They are less than $100 on Amazon. The dogs love them and with $30 fuzzy crate pad from Tractor Supply on top of them they hold up very well. The one my 9yr old setter sleeps on is 3 years and counting.

K9 ballistics are pretty nice.

 

[RLL]

We’ve had a K9 ballistics for 6 years and it’s been solid. The cover is great and holds up well. Can’t go wrong.

Your Lola is a very pretty girl, Rem. She'd be welcome to snuggle up with me anytime. Is she a mix?

Looking through the comments and photos on this thread, it's hard not to get a bit sentimental. They are truly our best friends (and members of the family).

Hello,
I am looking for recommendations for Dog beds, ..., when I say pups they are 10 and 9 years old.

My now 10-year-old German Shepherd has as the base a raised bed. On top of that is an LLBean soft cushion. On top of that, I put an LLBean's Rugged Quilted Dog Blanket. The raised bed keeps the dog off the cold floor in winter and provides support. It is easy to vacuum underneath. The middle cushion provides some softness. The blanket on top is easily washable--I have several of them, so I always have a clean one available. I am lucky in that my dog doesn't chew up his bedding.

Chew Proof Armored™ Ripstop Elevated Dog Bed

This virtually indestructible elevated dog bed features an all-metal frame for chew proof protection and ballistic bed fabric to resist scratching. Provides cooling comfort and superior support for destructive chewers. Easy to clean and pre-assembled for your convenience.
