Orthopedic beds are of great benefit to pets that develop joint problems such as hip dysplasia. They also benefit aging dogs, dogs with arthritis, or overweight dogs. These beds are made of a medical-grade polyfoam that provides support while helping to relieve pain and discomfort. Heated beds also benefit arthritic dogs and dogs with joint problems. Also, if you live a part of the country that is cold, your dog may enjoy curling up on a heated bed.
