Benefits of Orthopedic Dog Beds


While there are regular pet beds, most vets suggest orthopedic dog beds. Although they better suit old or arthritic dogs, these specialized beds are also useful for any dogs or pets. A bed made with orthopedic foam helps absorb the dog's weight and distribute it evenly throughout his body.

Orthopedic beds have the ability to soothe the muscles of highly active pets and cushion the joints and bones specially of older dogs who are more prone to sores and pains. As mentioned earlier, arthritic dogs can also benefit from these pet beds. The orthopedic foam can relive the joint and muscle pains brought by arthritis. Joint support is also what young dogs with dysplasia can get from orthopedic dog beds.

Pets can also have a more comfortable sleep as their spines are supported by the special foam to avoid contortion. Foam beds block the dog's body from creating compression points that may aggravate orthopedic conditions.
