Choosing a Therapeutic Dog Bed

Nothing is worse than having your pet sick or recovering from an injury, one of the best steps towards a healthy dog is the choice of a therapeutic dog bed.  These products can help ailing dogs feel rejuvenated and strong with their supportive foam or options to increase heat or cooling temperatures.

Just like commercials that advertise "memory foam" which can give you a better night's sleep, that's exactly how the therapeutic dog bed products help your pets sleep through the night without pain or aggravation.  Aging dogs especially will have difficulty with their sleep: joint problems or ailing muscles can prevent a healthy night's rest.  Some dog beds don't have the memory foam but have adjustable temperatures for better blood flow and homeostasis.

Dogpedic is a pad sleep system that provides comfort and body support at a cost of around $40. Designed for ultimate comfort, the Dogpedic combines memory foam to conform to your dog’s body with support foam to support your dog’s overall weight. Surrounding the foam is a waterproof liner that protects against stains, odors, and allergens. The Dogpedic also features a machine-washable soft suede cover with a non-slip grip bottom. It keeps your dog cozy.

The Olvis Booster is a therapeutic dog bed that provides a range of stable and supporting padding.  These beds cost between $150 and $250 depending on size and softness of the foam.  These are especially valuable for dogs prone to developing arthritis, such as golden retrievers, or those who live with more stress on their pressure points, such as greyhounds.  An LL Bean therapeutic dog bed takes the existing foam and plants it inside your current dog's bed.  This costs much less, around fifty dollars, but may only be compatible with existing LL Bean dog beds.  A heated orthopedic therapeutic dog bed is the most expensive option available. A Dolce Vita bed costs about three hundred dollars.  These, however, offer the most relief to a dog's circulation.
