New Dog Bed for Winston

[Sherri, Sophie, Winston, & Kitty]

I'd like to get Winston a nice new dog bed. Something that will last a long time but with a cover I can remove and wash. there are so many different kinds and they can be quite pricey so I want to be sure to get the right kind.

 

Any suggestions of what kind to get?  What are some good online spots for dog bed shopping?

Bandit is usually in bed with me or next to Rosey, otherwise he still likes his crate with just a standard pillow in it.  Rosey has a bed from PetEdge which you can throw the whole thing in the wash.

 

I have thought of getting a cushy bed but considering they seem to sleep on the floor and get hot easily it might be a waste.

I'd be interested in one where the whole thing goes in the wash...although if it was big enough for JD, it probably wouldn't fit in my washer.

Hi Karen!  Long time no chitty chat:)  here is the link to the one I got for Rosey http://www.petedge.com/product/Beds-Furniture/Dog-Beds/Bolster-Beds...

It has held up really well with two doodles, washings, sleeping, eating, playing etc...   I think I paid $40...

Thanks, Suzann. Glad to see you, my friend!

Just looked at the bed, and plush fabric won't work. :(

I have the heaviest shedder in the history of the world; the hairs embed in plushy fabrics, fleece, etc. He needs something like heavy cotton duck or denim.

you might browse the site for others, they have pretty good prices:)

Try www.llbean.com - VERY pleased with the beds I have from them.  Free shipping too!

Sometimes with really huge items I'll just go to the laundromat. It's easier since they have really large machines and I can do a load of throw rugs etc. while I'm there too.

Wow, this discussion really took off. So many good suggestions. I'll have to take my time figuring out the best one for Winston.

My Haus was a 120 pound German Shepherd who had 2 back surgeries during his life, so top quality, durable, comfortable beds for him were hugely important to me.

In 12 years we went thru a lot of beds, but the best beds I think I found on amazon.com b/c you have such a variety of selection this way.

His last bed lasted for years, and it was huge, and had a removable cover - one side was cream fleece (like lamb's wool, but not), the other side was sort of a canvas. It washed very nicely. The inside of this bed was memory foam and egg carton foam (forgot what that is called!). I spent at least $120 on this bed but it was SO worth it!!!

P.S. This wasn't the exact bed but it's very similar: http://www.amazon.com/Orthopedic-Memory-lasting-Breathable-waterpro...

What a great looking bed and if you order it through Amazon, you can use the DK link.
