My poodle just walks right on and off this bed effortlessly. In a regular filled dog bed she would struggle to get up from a lying position because of her arthritis and rear leg problems. We ordered a larger bed than suggested and the roominess is a plus since she can easily maneuver herself around the bed. I saw this bed at a hydrotherapy for dogs in SoHo where dogs were resting comfortably with a variety of joint and bone issues. I did have to remove the attached legs to get my dog to use the bed. In the future I may try to reattach the legs because I like the height. I suggest ordering the soft cover to make the bed cozier. I will buy another one for the office.

Pain Relief, Happy Dogs
I was skeptical that a bed would bring relief to my arthritic dog. After several visits to the vet, and pain meds to control pain, we were greatly concerned about our dogs well being. We did have beds made from memory foam that we thought were thick and comfortable but we took a chance and ordered. The beds came and my husband and I hoped it would bring our dog some much needed relief. I was amazed to see after ONE NIGHT on this bed, she was not stiff in her back legs and she slept straight through the night. A few nights now and her mobility when getting up is 100% improved! So relieved to see it made such an enormous difference, I cannot even express what a relief it is for her and us! Our second dog, who has no health issues, runs to lay on her bed at every opportunity. She loves it! So glad we bought two. Thrilled with this purchase, well made, went together well. We bought the aluminum frame and the sheepskin covers. Highly recommend for dogs with arthritis!

Fur Kids Opinion is 10 PAWS
The crate bed is for my older arthritic dog and she is not as stiff after sleeping on this bed. The house bed is for my meduim guy that likes to sleep out in the family room (wood floors). Keeps him more comfortable and he loves it.

This bed was just what we needed
Dog has back hip and knee problems coupled with arthritis. Keeps the dog off the wood and tiled floors. The Dog no longer paces around the room but sleeps quietly on its Kuranda bed.

Simply Amazing
I have seen these beds in the many shelters I work with and decided to buy one for my 7 year old arthritic Akita mix. She immediately took to the bed and after just one week of use is limping much less.

Best Christmas gifts we gave!
Our eldest lab has arthritis, but he can easily get off and on the bed, and he sleeps so comfortably. It is wonderful to see him happy with his bed! Our youngest lab has quickly destroyed any stuffed bed we've bought, but she hasn't even attempted a nibble at this bed. She loves it. The beds are warm, as they lift the dogs off the floor, and they have just enough flexibility to give a little with the dogs' weight, but not too much. These beds are worth the money without a doubt.

Great bed for older dogs
This bed is wonderful especially for large older dogs who find it difficult to rise from a floor level bed. They can safely step out of this bed and be almost upright. It must be very comfortable too for the dogs as our greyhound rarely leaves it!

Thank You
I have a partially paralyzed Pit Bull Terrier. This bed is the best product that I have bought for him hands down. Since he can't jump or climb well, I purchased a crate bed. He can't control his bladder and I hate to keep him in diaper wraps, I put piddle pads under his vinyl weave bed and it works great. Thank you so much for this product that finally keeps my best friend comfortable and dry!!!

Our Boys LOVE their Kuranda Bed!
Our Senior dogs LOVE their Kuranda beds! We have two dogs (12 and 13) and initially we only bought one bed to make sure our boys liked it. Well, once we received the first bed, put it together and they discovered how comfortable it was, they would race to the bedroom in order to secure the "comfy bed" for the night. Needless to say I was online the next morning purchasing another one! Thanks for a wonderful, clean and easy to maintain bed.

The best dog bed
As the owner of 5 large breed dogs I have purchased many dog beds over the years. I've had my Kuranda Heavy Duty Dog bed for a couple of years now. It is as fabulous as the first day we set it up - unlike the other dog beds I purchased. Our arthritic 16 year old German Short-haired pointer sleeps on it throughout the night without needing to get up to adjust his aching bones. Our cats like to lounge on it too! I highly recommend this bed.

Both of my Lab mixes love it!
The classic cot bed is beautiful, sturdy, looks like it will last a long time, and most importantly comfortable for my old, arthritic dog. I originally bought this for my 6 year old black lab mix, but my 15 year old yellow lab mix decided he loved it too. I went ahead and ordered a second one so they don't have to share. The bed was easy to put together. (It took maybe ten minutes.) As soon as I put the fleece cover over it, my black lab hopped on and made himself at home. An hour later my yellow lab tried it out as well. They both seem to prefer this bed to their old pillow beds.

Many years of comfort for arthritic Rotti
I've had two of these beds for years. I've replaced the fabric and several legs. My old arthritic dogs love them and my year old Doberman puppy can't chew the fabric (Win! Win!!). I think I learned about them on the Internet. I searched for a comfort bed for my two Rottie who had terrible hips from puppies on. My oldest and the one with the most malformed hips lived to 12 1/3 years and I do attribute that to swimming and your bed. So thank you!
