The best kind of bed of a senior dog is one that is comfortable and supportive. Orthopedic beds are especially good for senior dogs, as they provide joint support and pressure point relief for added comfort and reduced pain. Older dogs who get cold easily may benefit from a warm plush donut or cuddler-style bed, or possibly a heated dog bed, which can also help relieve aches. Choosing a dog bed with a low front entry is usually best for senior dogs with mobility issues, too. Experiment with a few types of beds and see which ones your senior dog likes best.
Features to look for in senior dog beds are a low front entry, cushioned support and a temperature regulating design. Senior dogs with mobility issues and joint pains need a bed they can easily get in and out of, so a mattress-style dog bed or a cuddler with a low front may be best for them. Memory foam usually provides the best combination of support and joint relief, so consider an orthopedic senior dog bed, especially if your dog has arthritis. Finally, you may want to get a bed that helps your pup cool off or warm up, since senior dogs can have more difficulty regulating their body temperature as they get older.
Elevated dog beds can be good for some senior dogs, but they may also be difficult for some dogs to get into. Many senior dogs experience joint pain and mobility issues, so choose a bed with a low front entry if your dog has trouble. If you have a large breed senior dog who is taller, however, getting into an elevated dog bed may actually be easier than kneeling to get into a low one. Observe your dog's habits, seek guidance from your vet and try a few different styles of beds to see which ones work best.
