THIS IS AWESOME! My favorite dog trainer and dog whisperer of all time has just released a free video online explaining how to eliminate 94% of all unwanted behavior in ANY dog. Her name is Krista Cantrell and I absolutely LOVE the way she teaches. Click on the video to watch. You'll be glad you did...

If memory foam mattresses provide the best sleeping experiences for humans, it stands to reason that they might also result in the best dog beds, especially if your canine friend has joint or muscle problems. Polyurethane memory foam molds itself to the sleeper’s body, triggered by their body heat, and then returns to its original shape when it cools down. Because of this, it provides consistent support to the body. Which is why, when people do their dog bed shopping, they often consider a bed of this material for an arthritic or older dog.

A large dog bed of memory foam might be especially helpful, because dogs of greater size frequently suffer from a joint disease called hip dysplasia. It affects not only the fit of the hip joints but the muscles around the rump. Memory foam can mold itself to support the dog’s body completely. And this type of bed can even help relieve discomfort a dog might suffer from being overweight. Such a bed might be one of the best dog beds for large dogs with hip dysplasia, or dogs that need good support until their weight can be brought down.

Some people provide heated dog beds for their companions with joint problems, but it’s possible that memory foam beds do just as well as those. One advantage of memory foam is its breath-ability. This means that it retains heat in wintertime, but is cooler in the summer when overheating might otherwise be a problem. The extra winter warmth of memory foam beds is what may make them the beds for arthritic animals, because not only would they retain the dog’s body heat when it’s needed, but they’d also provide protection against floor temperatures that might get a bit too cool at night.

Keep in mind that even if these small memory foam mattresses are the best dog beds when it comes to support and comfort, you’d still have to guard against an over enthusiastic chewer. You’d need a sturdy cover to put over the mattress to keep the dog from chewing on the polyurethane. But memory foam can help provide excellent orthopedic dog beds for older dogs or those with arthritis or other joint problems. It might be worth going that extra mile if it can help your dog sleep more comfortably.
