My New Dog Bed (well, my dog’s new bed)

June 15, 2010

My dogs are indoor dogs, and as such, they tend to sleep anywhere they like. However, I’ve noticed that their favorite place to sleep is on my bed. But once I lay down, they jump off and sleep on the floor next to me. So I’ve been thinking…because I want to make my dogs feel secure and at home while sleeping, having a place to retreat to when they rest, I want to get them their own dog beds. Something as comfortable as my bed, while being able to fit in my room – but being large dog beds so they can be comfortable and not cramped.

So I’ve asked around, and been on a hunt, for that perfect bed for Schatzie (my female German Shepherd) and have found Mammoth Dog Beds. They have an extra large dog bed that is perfect for her. Since their large dog bed is made for 51lbs to 100lbs, and is itself 44′ wide by 36” long, she will be able to have tons of room on it. Like I’ve said, I’ve checked into other “beds”, but this one from Mammoth has a removable cover that can be washed, and is made of “industrial strength” canvas. Oh yeah, it’s also stain resistant and antibacterial! What I really like about it is the inner pillow, because I can take it out and use it for Schatzie as a travel pet bed. And guess what? It’s made from, “Cordura Premium grade ‘virgin high memory’ upholstery fiber fill” – wow, sounds like something I want to sleep on!

I have a friend who has a Bull Mastiff, which weighs 140lbs, and I’ve checked the Mammoth website – and their extra large dog bed holds a 100lbs dog – up to 200lbs. Wow, that’s a big dog! That is 55” by 42” – even more room for his dog to feel comfortable on. All their beds have what they call an Easy Velcro system, and a “cozy ring” (gotta love the way they name their stuff!) – kinda like a pillow for their heads.

So Schatzie is going to love her new bed, and since Mammoth Dog Beds have been around since 1995 – and their beds are vet recommended, I’m going to love it too.
