Orthopaedic & Memory Foam Dog Beds

Orthopaedic dog beds are designed to offer dogs a more relaxing sleep by providing optimal support and relief for the body. There are numerous models that differ significantly in material and shape. Our bitiba dog shop offers an outstanding selection of orthopaedic dog beds: Simply choose the right one for your pet, order from the comfort of your home and have it delivered. We have summarised for you below what you need to focus on before and after buying an orthopaedic dog bed.

With an orthopaedic dog bed, you choose a sleeping and resting place for dogs designed to support their body based on ergonomic principles. The primary aim is to relieve pressure on the joints and spine by ideally adapting the bed to the contours of the body. Tensions in the muscles can be released more easily with good relief. Manufacturers try to achieve this primarily through the selection and processing of the filler material. Along with greater comfort when sleeping, orthopaedic dog beds can also reduce the effort of standing up for dogs. You can also try out an orthopaedic dog cushion as an addition to an orthopaedic bed.

In principle, an orthopaedic dog bed is worthwhile for all kinds of dogs. The following groups can particularly benefit:

- Dogs with joint diseases: An orthopaedic bed is particularly helpful for these dogs.

- Senior dogs: Problems with the locomotor system become more likely with age.

- Dogs following an operation: After operations, an orthopaedically-designed sleeping spot is a good part of rehabilitation.

Young and healthy dogs also enjoy the additional comfort of an orthopaedic dog bed. With larger breeds prone to arthrosis and other joint diseases, an orthopaedic bed can be a useful preventive measure.

The filler material is the most important quality factor for orthopaedic dog beds. Memory or Visco elastic foam are of particularly high quality, as they deform with pressure and heat and don't force a return to the original form. This creates cosy hollows in which a dog's body can relax, supported in an anatomically correct position. Polystyrene is a possible alternative to memory foam. The beads also provide good support and adapt to canine bodies. However, these models can rustle, aren't dimensionally stable and need to be shaken up regularly.

You can any use orthopaedic dog bed for at home on the move too. If there isn't enough space, there are foldable or collapsible dog beds too. Weight is usually no issue, as you can easily find models weighing less than 3kg. Some orthopaedic dog beds even weigh less than 2kg.

In general, dogs will gratefully accept the offer of a comfortable spot to sleep and lie down. If, contrary to expectations, this isn't the case, it may be due to the unfamiliar smell. Simply machine wash the outer fabric once without detergent at the permitted temperature. Perhaps your dog also has a favourite blanket and is missing this in the new bed? Just put the blanket inside it. Perhaps you may also have chosen an unfavourable spot, which is too cold, warm or draughty. In such cases, test out other spots for your orthopaedic dog bed.
