An orthopedic pet bed is a specialized sleeping platform designed to provide enhanced support and comfort to pets, especially those in their senior years, suffering from arthritis, hip dysplasia, or recovering from surgery. These beds are typically made from high-quality, body-cushioning foam, such as memory foam or egg-crate foam, which molds to the pet's shape to distribute weight evenly and relieve pressure on joints and muscles. Some models also feature additional benefits like heating options and machine-washable covers, making them suitable for a wide range of pets' needs and preferences.
