How to Choose a Really Great Dog Bed for a Really Big Dog

Some posts may contain affiliate links. Read the full disclosure.

If you’ve got a big dog, then you know that a regular, cheap dog bed won’t last and won’t provide the support they need. Buying a big dog bed is an investment, so we’ve done some research and we are really impressed with one company in particular. Big Barker is a US-based company that makes ultra high-quality dog beds designed especially for large, extra large, and HUGE dogs.

If you’ve got a Labrador, a Golden Retriever, Husky, German Shepherd, Rottweiler, Doberman, Newfoundland, Mastiff, Great Dane, Irish Wolfhound or other large dog breed then you will want to learn more about these large dog beds. If you’ve got two dogs who like to sleep in the same bed, or an older dog with orthopedic issues then you might also want to check out Big Barker dog beds.

How to choose the right size and style big dog bed

The Big Barker beds are all made in the USA with 7″ of American Made therapeutic foam and all come with a 10 year warranty covering flattening and shape, so it’s almost a no-brainer, but there are still a couple of decisions to make before getting one.

First, determine the size bed your dog needs. These beds come in Large, Extra Large and Giant. See the size chart above or use this link for more detailed information.

Next decide if your dog would prefer a dog bed with a bolster headrest or one that is completely flat. Our dog Daisy likes her flat dog bed and often hangs her head over the side when she sleeps, but also likes using the sofa arm rest as a head rest sometimes, so I’m thinking of getting her a second bed with a bolster so she can have both options.

Finally, choose a color. This is mostly a personal preference based on what you like and what color dog bed compliments your home decor. Practically speaking, also think about how much your dog sheds and what color their fur is.

All of the Big Barker bed covers are washable, but in-between washing some dog hair is going to show, so take that into account. Replacement bed covers are also available, so you can switch colors if you like.

They also offer optional Waterproof Dog Bed Liners designed to fit whatever bed you get, as well as SUV Dog Beds and Crate Pads for large dogs.

Have a very large or extra large dog breed can be awesome but it can also be a challenge. Regular dog beds and other pet products just aren’t designed with big dogs in mind. While it can be more expensive to buy items designed especially for your larger fur kid, it pays off in the long run because you don’t end up having keep buying replacements all the time!

A perfect example of this is the Big Barker Dog Beds designed especially for large and extra large dogs. Big Barker dog beds are made with 7″ of superior quality American-Made foam – a 2″ layer of H10 Comfort Foam, a 3″ middle layer of H45 Support Foam & another 2″ layer of H10 Comfort Foam – the same foam used in expensive furniture. Designed to completely supports every nook and crevice of a big dog’s body, your dog will not sink into the bed. Even full grown humans feel comfortable laying on a Big Barker.

The company guarantees their foam will retain at least 90% of its original shape & support for the next 10 years or your money back!

Most other “orthopedic” dog beds are mass produced in overseas or use imported foam. They’re less expensive, but you’ll immediately feel the difference. Cheap foam flattens out quickly, you’ll be buying a new bed shortly. Plus, fillers have been found in imported foam. You don’t want your dog sleeping on toxins! All foam & zippers are made in the USA and beds are made in Big Barker’s small Northern California workshop.

It gets even better because in addition to amazing quality and guarantee, these beds are also On Sale right now with up to 30% OFF plus FREE Shipping!
