What dog bed do you use?

[cassadee7]

I am curious what your dogs sleep on for their bed, in or out of a crate.

Saber always preferred the hard floor in summer, but lately she has taken to the carpeted areas so I want to get her a soft bed to lay on.

I want something that will last awhile, not terribly expensive, and easy to clean. Is there such a thing? Do you have one with a removable washable cover or do you just vacuum it, or what? The ones at Walmart or PetCo are big and cheap but don't appear to be washable.

I get those foam matress pads, double bed size about $15. Fold it in half, cover with a comfortor and or sheet. Take the sheet off & throw it in the wash when needed.

Stosh likes a hard surface too and he doesn't curl up to sleep so a pillowy kind of bed he ignored. I got him an thin orthopedic bed made by Four Paws and he loves it! He usually sleeps stretched out so he fits on it and doesn't get hot. I think I paid about $50 for it at a pet supply shop.

Daisy amd Lucky have rectangular flat beds w/ memory foam and a water proof liner as well as a removable quilted top that is machine washable that velcros on. Bought both at our local AKC All breed Show. I have bought bed after bed ,these both dogs love. One is 3ft by 4ft and the other 4ft by 5ft. The bigger one I gave around 175.00. Do not know vendors name but see her every year.

Baby bed mattresses from Wal Mart, they're cheap and the dogs love them.

Hmmm.... Great Idea!

I have a round, really cheap one with a removable cover that I bought at Ross (a discount store) many years ago for Rocky. When he started getting arthritis I shelled out nearly $100 for a orthopedic foam bed for him.

Does he like it?

No.

He still prefers his cheap-o discount store bed that's been repaired with duct tape. Kopper sleeps on the expensive orthopedic one.

I got ours at Costco. It's been washed many times and it still looks new. Koda likes to sleep in it although he's getting too big for the bed.

We bought a HUGE LL Bean one for Paige and she was OK with it, but it was just too big for her. Along came Scarlett and she LOVES the bed. It was pretty pricey, but it has a no-odor mattress that is soft and NOT noisy and the cover is sort of a soft version of canvas. It has been washed hundreds of times and it still looks fine. Scarlett has a den next to our bed and the bed fits in the corner nicely.

I'm actually thinking about buying Sasha a toddler bed and just throwing a fitted sheet over it. Right now she really likes my futon, but I'm afraid she's going to break it down the way she jumps on it. I need that thing to last! lol She didn't really care for the other bed I got her (it was some orthopedic thing I thing) but it seemed to make her hot. When we're at my mom's house, my mom just has regular mats, not cushioned or anything just like you'd wipe your feet on, and Sasha will just move from in front of the door, to mat in front of the window, to mat in front of the other door, to tile by Grammy's computer, to tile by the table. She's not real picky.
