I am a huge fan of memory foam dog beds to help senior dogs suffering from joint related conditions such as arthritis. I have used them with my own dogs and they really do work. When we had the regular fluffy dog beds you could see the aches and pains whenever my older dogs would get up from a nap, but that all changed when I switched to an orthopedic dog  bed. Since my early experiences I have been on the hunt for a higher quality bed that provided even more support and gave older dogs an even greater amount of comfort.

While there are a lot of memory foam dog beds out there, most of the premium models are super expensive in the range of $300 and I just don’t feel comfortable selling these.

It may have taken a while but we finally found a premium bed for a reasonable price – it is called the Comfort Flow orthopedic dog bed and its fantastic. It comes in two sizes 20″x30″x3″ and 40″x30″x3″ priced at $79.95 and $129.95.

Geometric Support Pad for Memory Foam Dog BedIn this video we take a close look at why we are so excited to be offering this dog bed for older dogs. Not only does it use top of the line memory foam, but it also incorporates a patent-pending Geometic Support Pad that sits between the memory foam to ensure that the weight of your dog is evenly distributed so that the pressure on the joints is reduced. This bed is designed to help provide relief from the discomfort caused by dog arthritis and joint conditions and gives more support than most memory foam dog beds we’ve seen.

With seniors in mind, this dog bed has a washable outside cover and a water resistant inside cover to protect against accidents caused from incontinence. The bottom of the bed comes with a grip that makes sure the bed stays in place even on slippery surfaces such as tile or hardwood.

Please watch the video below for an up close look at the Comfort Flow orthopedic dog bed:

I have been looking to add orthopedic dog beds to our site because they have the potential to improve the quality of life for senior dogs. Older dogs spend a considerable amount of time sleeping so just imagine if during that time the bed could be working to help relieve the discomfort caused by arthritis and other joint problems. In this video review we take a close at the first therapeutic dog bed we are offering on www.DogQuality.com. While still in testing this dog bed looks like a great way to help make our older dogs more comfortable by reducing the pain and stiffness they may be facing.

This orthopedic dog bed by Slumber Pet first caught my attention because it is veterinarian recommended for relief of discomfort caused by arthritis and hip dysplasia – two common conditions faced by older dogs. This unique bed uses memory foam, which does a great job of evenly distributing your dog’s weight, thereby relieving pressure on sore joints. One of the things I love about memory foam is that even though the thickness is more like a mat, the comfort level is the equivalent of a bed 3 times its thickness. It also has a washable cover which is a must-have for any dog owner.

This will be a two part review – the first portion shown here takes a look at the features of this dog bed, while part 2 will summarize a week’s worth of use of the bed by Mackenzie, my 13 year old Pug who suffers from arthritis. My goal is to see if he likes it, uses it and most importantly, to see if there is any improvement in his stiffness, which is at its worse when getting up from a nap.

In this video I show you the largest size of this orthopedic dog bed (47″x29″), which is a perfect size for large breeds or smaller breeds that like their space. There are several sizes of this dog bed so you can choose the perfect fit for your dog.

We are very happy to be offering this dog bed here in Canada. I do however have one disclaimer I must mention before watching – please excuse the butt sniffing.
