Has anyone tried their Deep Dish Dog Bed though? Wondering if the bolstered edges would make a difference comfort-wise. And about the Big Barker, heard good things but it seems pricier. Worth the extra bucks?
So here’s the thing – we switched to using the FurHaven Pet Dog Bed instead (got ours on Amazon). The egg crate foam seemed to do wonders for our old boy’s joints. Plus, it stayed plusher longer if ya ask me.
Of course, every doggo is different and might have their own bed prefereces. Do yuo guys have other bed recommendations that won’t lose its shape even after several laundry trips? Would love to hear from you all. Keep ’em tails waggin’! 🐾
But to mix things up a bit – anyone considered Ruffwear? A little pricy like Orvis but they make some seriously rugged gear. Perfect if you’ve got an outdoorsy hound who loves draggin’ their bed around everywhere (yes, Ginger I’m looking at you 🙄). Cheers!
I started transitioning my Chocolate Lab, Bruno, onto a new diet while getting him cozy with this bed – killed two birds with one stone, right? The Yeti bed seemed to calm him down – must be that ultra-soft padding they boast about – making food trials much less hectic.
Agreeing with some posts here about the price being a bit steep though! Anyone else tried similar lux beds but kinder on pocket? Our fur buddies deserve the comfort, but man….does my wallet suffer XD
One thing I’ve noticed is that Max doesn’t struggle with some of the joint pain he used to in his old bed, so there’s that Orthopedic benefit too – I guess that’s thanks to their signature memory foam? And contrary to some experiences SammieDogOwner shared earlier, ours has held up realy well against washing and general wear n’ tear.
That being said, every dog is different and what works well for Max might not be the best choice for everyone. Does your pup prefer firmer or softer beddings? Have you considered other top-notch brands like Furhaven or BarksBar before settling down with a choice?
Now as for food… we actually noticed she started gaining some weight since getting the bed. Probably due to all that extra loungin’ time and less playin’, haha! It took us a bit of trial and error to find the right balance. But let me tell ya, reducing her kibble servings and tossing in some low-cal veggies (think green beans or pumpkin) helped maintain her figure.
Have any of you guys faced this? How did you find a healthy balance between food and rest for your dogs?
For anyone looking to purchase one, take note of the dimensions carefully since they have various sizes. I made sure that she could stretch out fully on it, without falling off the edges, so opted for the larger size based on her measurements. Worked out really well!
Anyone here tried it with more than one dog? Just curious how that worked out!
I do agree with some comments saying that its an absolute fur magnet tho’. The trick I found is just regular vacuuming, keeps it looking almost brand-new. Any other cleaning tips out there for these marshmallow-like beds?
Keep an eye on your fur kid during that transitional phase, might need some extra snuggles to get used to it. Or maybe not! Seems like every dog’s as unique as their owner, right?
What about toys and chewables? Anyone finds them harder to spot against Reddy’s color scheme? Kinda wish they did a brighter shade or something! Anyone else feeling this way?
Been wondering though, has anyone tried using it outdoors? My boy loves lounging in the backyard on warm days but I’m not sure how well the material stands up to weather conditions. Thoughts?
That said, I’d wish they had more color variety- after two years, even when washed regularly, the white interior shows some discoloration. Also, it’s not exactly budget-friendly if you’re trying to save a few bucks.
Still, might be worth considering if your pup needs extra support or comfort. Anyone else got advice on maintaining the foam insert without ruining it? It seems mine is getting lumpy despite following the care instructions…
