I purchased this bed for my new guide dog after sifting through numerous recommendations. I kept circling back to this one because I’ve purchased blankets from this brand before and was impressed with their quality. I’m happy to say that this bed did not disappoint!Comfort & Support – A Night-and-Day Difference:Before getting this bed, I had some small mats for my office cubicle while waiting for the second bed to arrive. My guide dog, Odette, didn’t seem to enjoy them at all—she kept popping up, nudging me, and acting like she just wasn’t comfortable. At first, I thought it was just nerves from being in a new place, but when I set up this bed in my cubicle, she immediately laid down and was snoring within minutes. Now, she doesn’t get up until I prompt her to! That was all the confirmation I needed that this bed provides *real* comfort and support.Size & Fit:I got the large size for Odette, who is a 57-pound female Labrador Retriever, and it’s big enough for her to completely sprawl out. It’s spacious without being too bulky, making it a great fit for both home and the office.Setup Experience:One of the beds I ordered arrived fully assembled—all I had to do was open the packaging and put the mattress into the cover. However, the one for my office was completely dismantled, and I had to put everything together myself. It took me a few minutes to figure out what went where, but I was able to set it up in under ten minutes without sighted assistance! This is a great option for blind/VI dog handlers who might be worried about complex assembly.Material & Durability:The bed is well-made and sturdy. The cover is soft yet durable, and I love that it’s removable and washable—an absolute must for any dog owner. The foam holds its shape well, providing consistent support.Slip Resistance:Another thing I appreciate is that it stays in place. Unlike some beds that slide around on hard floors, this one remains stable, which is important for a working dog who needs a reliable, secure resting spot.Final Thoughts:This bed is absolutely worth the price. It’s comfortable, supportive, easy to clean, and built to last. But the real test? My guide dog’s reaction. Seeing her go from restless and uncomfortable to deeply relaxed and snoring told me everything I needed to know. If you’re looking for an orthopedic dog bed that truly delivers, I highly recommend this one!
