Yes, in general, orthopedic beds are a good option for dogs—especially those who have arthritis, joint problems, or mobility issues. For dogs with joint conditions, orthopedic beds are much more comfortable and provide dogs with a better rest. Dogs that are more well rested have more energy and a better overall quality of life. If you have a young puppy or a healthy adult dog who doesn’t suffer from joint problems or mobility issues, you may not need an orthopedic bed.
