Alternatively, been hearing good things about those “Big Barker” ones too. Might give that a go next time… if Miss-fussy-pants ever decides she’s done with this one!
I have to agree with some of you who mentioned the cover quality, it’s outstanding and the personalization option is a nice touch too. We all know how much dogs love to make their possessiveness known.
And for anyone pn the fence about this, here’s a tip: lookout for an Orvis sale, got mine at a sweet discount without compromising on quality. Can’t beat that. Anyone else catch any good deals out there?
My fur baby absolutely adored her Reddy bed when we first got it – held up pretty well even though she’s got some chewer instincts. But after about 5 months it started to lose its shape a bit.
No bed is impervious to the wear and tear so can’t really blame Reddy for this. However, I did find a solution that worked out better for us. I got my pooch an indestructible dog bed instead – vet recommended and everything. The name of the brand escapes me at the moment but I’ll be sure to post it as soon as I remember!
Does that help anyone else or does anyone have other alternative brands they found success with?
I hae to agree about the “new bed” smell, experienced that with our Sealy dog bed too. But let me tell you, in a week or so my labradoodle, Oliver seemed more than happy sprawled on it annd I guess his comfort mattered more than anything else to us. As for the durability, Jeez! It’s amazing how well it’s holding under Oliver’s zoomies. For anyone looking for a sturdy comfortable bed for their pooch, I’ve gotta say Sealy has my vote. And if the smell put anyone off initially? Air it out a bit, like we did. Did wonders!
Anyhow, any of you had experiences with other Sealy products? The Dog bed’s made me curious!
And yeah, gotta agree on the Furhaven alternative too – I used one for my old lab Molly and she adored it till her last days. Super cushy and ultra durable as compared to many others in the market. The puppers seem to love ’em! 🐕🛏️✨
friends! Agreed with the love for the Coolaroo dog bed here. We got one for our Lab, Baxter, and he’s been absolutely in love, can be picky about his sleeping arrangements but this? He jumped right in!
The elevated design really helps keep him cool and comfy, especially during those hotter months. It’s super easy to clean too – just a quick wipe down and it’s like brand new. Some folks might be worried about assembly, but trust me, it’s no biggie. If I managed (with my infamous lack of handiness), you sure will.
One tip though – picking the right size is key. We initially got a medium that ended up being too small for Baxter and had to switch to a large. So, maybe consider sizing up if you’re unsure.
Who else has a coolaroo at home? Did your pup take to it straight away or was there a bit of an adjustment period?
Eh, gotta say, my lab mix wasn’t totally sold on the Costco human dog bed at first. Took her a bit to get used to teh whole idea of it being hers (stubborn princess!). But yeah, gotta agree – it’s super easy to clean and sizewise, pretty perfect. I personally liked that it didn’t stick out like a sore thumb in my living room’s aesthetic.
On the flip side though, definitely doesn’t hold up if your pup is a serial chewer. Our younger pupper destroyed it within the month. I’d reccommend getting something more durable instead if that’s an issue for you – or maybe an anti-chew spray might just do the trick. Anyone tried that with any success?
Funnily enough, my golden doodle is lounging in his Yeti dog bed as we speak—talk about premium comfort! I’ve noticed that after changing to a balanced diet (lots of fresh veggies, lean meat, and occasional kibbles), he got more energetic. It’s like the combo of comfort from the bed and energy from the diet made for one happy pupper. Make sure you keep an eye on their scales though; it’s easy to ‘treat’ them too often out of love.
Has anyone else seen similar changes? Or maybe some unexpected ones? Let’s hear it!
As for using it outdoors, my experience has been mostly positive. It’s durable for sure, and I’ve had no problems with it getting dirty since it’s pretty easy to clean. Just keep an eye out on the weather though; rain can sneak up on you, and there’s really no shortcut around a soggy dog bed!
By the way, anyone tried their Revol crate yet? Heard pretty good things about that one too…
