Your older dog has given you years of love, and now it’s time to return the favor with a senior dog bed that truly supports their changing needs. In our collection, you’ll find orthopedic dog beds crafted with open cell foam or memory foam, designed to cradle dog’s joints and reduce the aches and pains that come with age. Many options include a waterproof memory foam liner or waterproof cover to protect the filling from accidents, helping maintain better indoor air quality. Whether your furry friend is a medium sized dog or one of the large breeds, these orthopedic beds feature bolster beds and raised edge styles to provide orthopedic support at key pressure points, ensuring more restful sleep.

From faux fur surfaces to chew resistant fabrics, we’ve thoughtfully designed each dog bed to support mobility issues and hip dysplasia, while also accommodating destructive dogs who need a durable favorite bed.

Senior Dog Bed FAQs

What kind of bed is best for senior dogs?

Senior dogs benefit most from orthopedic dog beds that provide more support at their pressure points. Beds featuring memory foam or orthopedic foam help cradle your older dog’s body, easing joint issues like hip dysplasia and stiff joints. Look for designs with waterproof covers or liners, plus a soft cover if your dog loves extra coziness. Brands such as the Big Barker Bed, PetFusion Ultimate Dog Bed, and those influenced by experts like Eric Shannon have paved the way for truly premium options.

Where should a senior dog sleep?

A senior dog should have a quiet, easily accessible spot—preferably on a senior dog bed that’s placed away from drafts or loud household noises. If you live in warmer climates, you might consider elevated beds that help regulate body temperature. Make sure it’s on a level surface (like a hard floor) so your older pet won’t trip over raised thresholds. Above all, choose a dog’s bed with water resistance or a waterproof memory foam liner in case of accidents or spills.

To reiterate: an orthopedic dog bed with open cell foam or memory foam is ideal. Look for features like raised edge support, machine washable covers, and water resistant materials that can handle everyday messes. These beds reduce pain in dogs’ joints, promote more restful sleep, and maintain decent indoor air quality by preventing mildew or odors—especially helpful if your dog experiences pressure sores or mobility issues.

Are these beds suitable for large dogs?

Yes. Many of our senior dog bed models are specifically designed for large dogs and big dogs. They come in sizes that allow your pup to fully stretch out, and they’re built with bolster beds or chew resistant edges to withstand destructive dogs. Plus, the extra-robust orthopedic foam helps reduce pain in larger breeds, ensuring they get the restful sleep they deserve. Some designs even contain recycled polyfill or specialized foams that stay cool, making them the best bed choice for dogs who run hot.
