A foam dog bed provides pets with hip dysplasia and arthritis more support for their joints and muscles. A bed with special cushioning can also help your dog get a comfortable night's sleep.
Orthopedic Benefits of Foam Dog Beds
A bed made with orthopedic foam helps absorb the dog's weight and distribute it evenly throughout his body. Orthopedic beds also help soothe the muscles of highly active pets that jog frequently or work as service dogs.
Additional advantages of sleeping on foam bedding:
- Helps cushion a dog's joints and bones
- Ideal for older dogs prone to aches and pains
- Arthritic dogs benefit from sleeping on foam beds; the cushioning helps to relive the joint and muscle pain associated with arthritis
- Younger dogs with hip dysplasia benefit from less strain on their joints as they grow
- A bed made with effective, even support prevents a dog's spine from contorting
- Foam beds block the dog's body from creating compression points that may aggravate orthopedic conditions
- A foam bed may prevent your dog from tossing and turning while he is trying to sleep
