My dog Has severe arthritis. Is this very supportive foam for his joints where he won't feel hard floor underneath at all?

I bought two for my 90lb Goldens, and the foam is definitely supportive enough that they don't feel the floor. I laid on the beds myself to try them out and these beds are super comfy. Well worth the price. Only regret is that I didn't get them sooner.

yes it would work for your dog. It also has two covers, one blue on brown so if you have to wash it, you can put on the other one.

My German Shepherd has hip dysplasia. And he love this bed. It is extremely supportive. And it hasn't lost that shape since I purchased it months ago.

The bed is great. My dog has dysplasia and is showing no problems with the bed. The foam is thick and very supportive. She has no contact with the floor. I have been down on the bed with my dog and have found the bed very comfortable.

Hmmm, good question. The top covering over the foam appears to be worthy of years of use by humans. I could only suggest that you put a tougher material mattress cover on it. But if your dog is a digger, well, who knows? But I do know I love my mattress. Best sleep I've had in a very long time. Best of luck.

I wouldn't think so. This foam is upholstery weight foam used more for stuffing chair or sofa cushions, so it is firm but not stiff or solid. If I am understanding what you want, your foot would sink in to the foam and compress it to the floor as apposed to being firm enough to stand on top of.

yes this bed is way bigger than I thought it would be. I do error on the side of caution for any of these memory foam beds if your dog is older with arthritis, my 14 yr German Shep mix cant get enough traction on them and gets stuck. This can be very dangerous if they get stuck like that all day. But if your Newfie is in good shape this might be he/she new fav spot.

It is not "cushy", it is thin esp., when laid in. Yes, it slides across the floor easily. I just bought another bed AKC as well, but this time orthopedic foam bottom and it is working out well and am sure it feels better on the bones. Hope this helps. :)

No. It has memory foam type material. My picky Lab has grown quite fond of her new bed!

Yes! It's thick enough to cushion hip bones and not feel the mattress beneath but it isn't any more difficult to sit up. I bought this a month ago and still am loving it, no buyers remorse whatsoever.

Actually, as I reconsider my answer, a dog with a severe hip problem may not have an issue with the height of the bed getting in; but the depth of the foam could be an issue for them as the try to raise up and get out of it. I would suggest going to your local pet supply store and viewing a similar thickness bed for yourself to make an assessment. If not a problem, this is a good bed to get.

I bought the gel foam top for my older dog w arthritis. He weighs 78 pounds and I ended up swapping out for the XXL size-great body coverage--a little more money, but well worth it!

It's pretty thick, and it certainly does have some give to it as it's thick foam. But it's firm enough for my needs; I find it perfect for alot of the exercises I do on the floor. It's not really built though for doing standing Yoga poses for example. Better to get a thin yoga mat for that purpose.

joint support and nutrients are in silver, there is no joint support in gold, I think this is very important for your dog

My lab could use these steps. She weighed more than your dog and she had back problems and her knees were bad in back legs. The only issue is that the plastic of the steps is slippery. So I would suggest gluing some carpet on the steps.

The tag says it is made of urethane foam. I don't know what that is, but it is about medium firmness. It is not stiff but it does not sink in when I put my knees on it. I do wish it were a little taller so that my feet are elevated off of the bed just a bit. I wish I could afford one like my physical therapist had which was high and firm and EXPENSIVE. Nevertheless, I am pleased with the product.

Gel foam is really not a foam. It is encapsulated get that is placed on the surface of the foam. Memory foam is heat sensitive, so body heat causes that foam to soften and conform to the body shape. I have no idea which would be best for your dog. We have a memory foam bed for our arthritic dog, but that does not mean it is the best.

No, it's just regular foam. It was too hard for my husband to sleep on, he said it didn't hany give.

We have three Bichon Frise 'kids'. They all use the large bed. They are young and light in weight. They have no problem using this bed. It has maintained its firmness. We have had it for several months. Maybe if your dog is very heavy it might have an issue with its paws leaving a quick (not lasting) imprint on the bed, but not the cover. I would recommend giving it a try.

no, this set of steps is a nice block of foam. They are strong and soft. It will take the weight of almost any size dog or cat, plus it has a second cover. Believe me when I tell you this is what you are looking for, if a sturdy, yet soft set of steps is what you want. I have the steps you are describing, too. They are fragile and if you leaned on them you would crack them. This is why I'm so happy with this product.
