WHAT ARE ORTHOPEDIC DOG BEDS?
Orthopedic dog beds are pet beds designed to cushion your dog’s bones, joints, ad muscles. What do orthopedic dog beds do? They provide both support, comfort, and proper weight distribution when your dog is relaxing, and they typically have a medium-firm feel to them. Any puppy and adult dog can enjoy and benefit from an orthopedic pet bed. Because of their high level of support, orthopedic dog beds are often recommended to senior dogs, pups recovering from surgery, and dogs with arthritis or hip dysplasia. Dogs that are healthy today but prone to arthritis or hip dysplasia later in life can also greatly benefit from supportive memory foam pet beds. Orthopedic dog beds can be made out of many materials, but the main material typically used in their construction is polyurethane foam. The material, also known as slow spring back foam, softens when it touches your dog’s body and instantly molds to his unique curves. When your dog jumps off the bed, the polyurethane foam springs back to its original shape.

Django's Paw bed has multiple components that easily make it the most comfortable, unique, and attractive pet bed we've owned. The most obvious of these is the ultra-soft faux fur bed cover. Django loves curling up in the cozy and cloud-like faux fur layer.
