Kuranda dog bed worth the money?

posted on pets board too.

I've had a Coolaroo brand bed for my two English Bull dogs. I am thinking of getting a Kuranda because I have to keep replacing the covers.

I used to have separate beds for them, but they like to share, so I have the large size, and the dogs weight 100 lbs combined.
Here is the one I have www.amazon.com/Coolaroo-Large-Ste....o+pet+bed+large


The cover will start to sag after about 1 month, then getting holes in it after 4 months, and the holes keep getting bigger.. I end up changing the covers twice a year, and I think the covers should last longer.

I've heard Kuranda is the best - opinions? worth the cost? I need one big bed for both dogs.

I have the Coolaroo and also replace the covers about twice a year. I think it is pretty normal considering the use my dog gets out of it. He is 85 lbs and has an aversion to having his nails cut from a bad grooming experience as a pup.

My friend has a Kuranda for her dog who is similar in size and she replaces the covers often as well. Except she said replacing the fabric is a bitch on those.

Do they need to be elevated? I've always purchased our dog beds at CostCo. They're incredibly inexpensive and last forever.

Costco near me only has fabric beds, which I don't like. hair sticks to it, and then there is doggy smell on them.

The cover for the raised bed is easier to keep clean, and doesn't have any doggy smell.

they look just like the cots I used at daycare. Those were durable and easy to clean, but I know nothing about dog beds

I got my lab a kuranda after she chewed through 4 kong beds. It's been over 2 years & it's still in great shape, but she only really uses it when she's locked in her kennel (and she hasn't been kenneled for probably 6 months now). So, they're durable & she seems to like the bed... But I don't really know how it would hold up to daily use. And it was a bitch to put together by myself
