Can anyone recommend a good dog bed

[zoidberg]

for a little old guy with arthritis?

I want my little fella to be as comfortable as possible.

[lucky513]

Ill have to get the brand when I get home but my dog loves her new bed

[zoidberg]

Aw, that looks like a good one.

Costco sells very nice ones pretty cheap. They're big so might be huge for your pup but they're soft, fluffy, washable removable cover, and coop heartily endorses them. Actually, he and kiddo both love that bed. She tries to steal it.

[lucky513]

its so soft
I got it at Home Goods for about $60.00

I promise I wont forget to check the brand but it will be a couple house

[zoidberg]

Ooh, we have a Home Goods here.

I will also check the Costco beds.

My poor little buddy is just getting so old, I want him to be comfortable all the time, and the apartment we are moving to does not have carpet. So I need to get him at least one extra bed so he can have one in multiple rooms.

We have a Molly Mutt bed and I really love it. You get a cover and mesh bag. The bag you fill with your own old towels/blankets/clothes. It's super convenient to wash & dry.

Oh man, he would love that. We would have to pry him out of it to make sure he didn't starve. lol

That is a cool idea.

[tdk2]

I think Improvements catalog might have stuff like the heated beds

[zoidberg]

Is that dry food? He can't chew that well these days so we have been giving him Natural Balance venison and sweet potato for quite a while. He really needs a soft food.

[zoidberg]

Oh, ok. I thought it was a food. I will check it out! I would do anything for this dog.

We have always bought the dog beds from Costco. I have a smaller dog, and we've also bought it for bigger dogs in the past (my parents' dogs have them as well). They last a long time, stay plush through cleanings and the pups seem to love them

I use Coolaroo beds, and I replace the covers every 6 months or so. www.amazon.com/Coolaroo-Large-Steel-Framed-Brunswick-Green/dp/B000P7JKD6/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1373611259&sr=8-2&keywords=coolaroo
I have one outdoors, and another one indoors

 I don't like fabric beds because they tend to have doggy odor after awhile, and I'm too lazy to wash them regularly.

Ditto Home Goods! Great beds at good prices.

[lucky513]

There was no brand on the big bed but the little ones I have for her are Royal doggy collection

[orangeblossom]

We have a Costco bed, but we also have a cozy cave bed from Drs. Foster and Smith. They may have some heated beds. I know they have orthopedic ones.

[snickers]

I love the Costco dog beds! They are very comfortable and cheap!

Cookie loves her Costco beds. Our vet recommended that she take 1000 mg of glucosamine a day and fish oil. It has seemed to help, but she might start pain meds soon. She has been falling down more. ;-(

We have one of these too. Roxie LOVES it. It is so soft and I like that it's easy to clean.

[MWOS]

Damn. We put a heating pad in the bottom of my cat's bed when his arthritis got bad and thought we were geniuses.

Shoulda patented that shit.

Also, the cat fucking LOVED it.

We didn't leave it on all day, just when we were home. For safety.
:turns on dishwasher and leaves for work:

These are wonderful. They are supposed to be great to older dogs. I have had two large beds for four or five years and they have not lost any support in that time period. The covers at LL Bean are removable and washable, but you could easily buy a cover elsewhere and just get the inserts.
