Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Near the end of May 2018, I purchased two of these alleged "Orthopedic" beds for my German Shepherds. They were tossed in the trash by September as they are nothing more than cheaply covered eggcrate foam. While this type of foam might be okay for smaller dogs, they do NOT hold up to the weight of a giant (125 lbs) or a large dog (90 lbs). It was regrettable to have my dogs sleep on a bed that was truly no more supportive than a crate mat, but finding reasonably priced, quality dog beds for large and giant dogs is incredibly difficult. The bolsters smashed completely flat, immediately, which defeated the purpose of a bolster, however it increased the lounging area; lumpy and sloppy looking as it was. The cover on this Furhaven dog bed was washable, but we hung it to dry to prevent any shrinkage. My dogs aren't diggers or chewers; they are lickers. They weren't doing anything harsh on these beds beyond sleeping and grooming themselves. The covers would get stained and stinky. They washed up smelling fresh with frequent washings, but those sloppy saliva stains continued to grow nastier and nastier looking. The zippers held up, but putting the cover back on the bed was always a ridiculously tedious chore. These beds were my first purchases from Furhaven. However, no matter how many wonderful looking beds they continue to churn out, I don't see myself making another purchase from this company. Instead of recommending this product, if looking for a TRUE memory foam Orthopedic dog bed, I'd recommend you look at beds by BarkBox with the caveat that they seem small without the bolster, but are supportive for dogs over 90 lbs. Updated 7/4/2020 to add: In addition to recommending BarkBox Orthopedic pet beds, I have to add that the Orthopedic pet beds by Dogs4Less are outstanding! Both are a nice, even piece of actual, true memory foam that has held up perfectly under the weight of my large, senior German Shepherd dogs.
