Top 3 Reasons to Buy an Orthopedic Dog Bed
Orthopedic dog beds can be attributed to:
- Preventative support
- Increased blood flow
- Better sleep
Let’s look at why that is below.
PREVENTATIVE SUPPORT
We spent months developing new Gunner Kennels accessories like our orthopedic dog bed. The general assumption is that any dog bed will do the trick. However, dogs often develop joint and bone problems from overuse and require a higher quality bed.
Orthopedic dog beds provide a supportive place to rest, protecting against issues like joint discomfort, arthritis, and hip dysplasia in the long run.
Some joint and arthritis cases are genetic, but overuse is also a significant factor. Working and sporting dogs endure more wear and tear than the average dog, and the last thing you want to put them on after a hard day’s work is a hard surface. Gunner Kennels performance and orthopedic dog beds are important for dogs performing strenuous activity, both as a preventative measure and restorative remedy.
INCREASED BLOOD FLOW
Designed to conform to the body, memory foam is the only material that ensures equal support of all pressure points. Without pressure points, blood flow increases in all areas of the body. With increased blood flow comes faster muscle recovery. For working dogs, this muscle recovery could be the difference in one last season.
BETTER SLEEP
The issues listed above are often associated with older people or dogs. Preventing injuries and recovery aren’t the only reasons to invest in a performance pad or orthopedic dog bed. When people go shopping for mattresses, the store isn’t organized by “old” and “young”. Memory foam mattresses are the new normal and made for a better nights sleep. According to Webmd, better nights sleep can improve the following:
- Sharper brain
- Mood boost
- Healthier heart
- Athletic achievement
- Steadier blood sugar
- Germ fighting
- Weight control
