Best Dog Bed for Giant Breeds

Dogs sleep a lot – up to 12 to 14 hours a day, in fact! If you were to spend over 50% of your time sleeping, your bed would become a very important place in your life. The same goes for our dogs! Your dog's bed provides comfort, security and a place of their own.

Every dog is different, so how do you determine what type of bed is going to be best for your dog? When it comes to giant dog breeds, there are a few things to consider.

• Joint Issues: Hip dysplasia and arthritis are common ailments for giant dogs; sometimes the dog’s sheer size and weight can put an unhealthy strain on their joint. Over time this can lead to a variety of conditions and symptoms.
• Temperature Regulation Bigger dogs are also more likely to overheat than smaller dogs – their body size tends to generate more heat and lose it more slowly. A lot of giant breeds (Newfoundland, Great Pyrenees, Bernese Mountain Dogs…) also have thicker fur, which can make it harder for the dog to cool down.
• Weight Capacity: Another factor that is fairly obvious but may also be overlooked is that big dogs are… well, big! Not every bed is going to hold up to their weight, especially over time.

While there are a lot of great dog beds out there nowadays, Kuranda Beds are far and away the best option for so many reasons. Kuranda addresses all of those main concerns listed above and more.

As an elevated dog bed, Kuranda beds alleviate any pressure points on joints that dogs may experience when laying on the floor or on a pillow bed. The firm, even and raised surface allows for even distribution of your dog’s weight. This can help to alleviate joint discomfort that may be caused by or lead to hip dysplasia or arthritis. Hand in hand (or paw in paw..?) is the temperature regulatory properties of an elevated bed. Similar to bridges on roadways, a raised bed allows for air to flow above and below the sleeping area. This helps keep your dog stay cool in the warmer months and warmer off the cold, hard floor in the colder months.
