But when buying dog beds, CARE recommends the following:
- Supportive bedding, such as memory foam mattresses, are ideal for dogs with arthritis
- Bedding should be placed in a warm/ non-drafty area of the house
- Make sure there is non-slip flooring under and around their bed
- If your dog is crate trained, the crate should be large enough for them to stand up, move around and stretch out. The crate should also have supportive bedding.
- If your dog sleeps on the bed with you, ideally they shouldn’t jump off the bed but should use stairs or a ramp, particularly if the bed is high.
Here is the bed that CARE pups Arrow and Eddie sleep on.
