After a lot of research, I have selected the dog bed I will be getting for Hush. I have always had the traditional dog bed, the ones that are a giant pillow with a slip cover, round or rectangular, that sit on the floor. Milly actually has two of these, and while I like them, I want something that is a bit more sturdy and able to be disinfected.
As you know, Hush will be my first show dog, and once I get her, I would like to get a third Golden Retriever when she is a year old. With this in mind, I want to start buying products that will last a lifetime, so I don’t need to replace them with every new dog. The Kuranda dog beds have an incredible reputation. They are durable and made with furniture grade frames, the elevated beds give your dog orthopedic support and comfort, chew-proof fabrics make them long lasting, the beds can easily be cleaned and disinfected, and are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The way the bed is designed provides dogs with a firm, even support, which no pillow-style dog bed could match; this is great for growing puppies and elderly dogs! You can order machine washable slip covers to give them more of the appearance of the traditional dog bed, and there are optional pads available for added comfort.
I’ve spoken with many people who exclusively use Kuranda beds, and the word on the street is these beds will last for years, and the life of the bed will easily outlive the life of the dog. These are great for houses or kennel situations, and provide plenty of support for the dogs. I know Hush will probably go through a jaws phase, and I want a durable bed that she won’t chew! This is perfect.
Now, to pick a color and fabric for the bed, and which slip cover! They all look so nice! Of course, I’ll be getting mine monogrammed! Here are a few of my favorite slip covers, I love the stripes and knots the best. But, the traditional cinnamon would be nice and neutral in any room. Which is your favorite?
These beds are not the cheapest on the market, but also not the most expensive by any stretch of the imagination. They start at $36.95 and go up to $159.95, with slip covers and optional pads costing extra. But, for a bed that will last me 20 years or more, this is a worthwhile investment, and shipping on all orders is just $5!!!
The company is a fantastic company that gives back to shelters. Don’t have a dog? Just go on the Kuranda website, and you can order a bed for your local shelter! How great is that? I would love to get a group of people together to go in on some beds for a couple of shelters, especially those with low budgets.
These are great. Remy has already destroyed one bed (and I probably paid more than $40 for it...). I love that these don't have stuffing, which gets pretty icky after awhile (and is especially bad for people like me with allergies, since so much dander and such accumulates in it!) and can't really be washed. Anyway, I'd be happy to go in with you on a bed or two for a shelter. Do you have a particular shelter in mind? Both the shelters where my dogs came from are on the list. :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to order some for the Walter Crowe Animal Shelter in Camden, SC. They are both a shelter and animal control, and absolutely swamped with dogs and on a super tight budget. Unfortunately, they don't get the funding they need, and are a high kill shelter, which is so hard on the people that work and volunteer there. They really need every donation they can get!!!
ReplyDeleteI like the blue. Jack will only sleep on california king pillow top mattresses. At least, that's what he tells me :)
ReplyDeleteLet's do it. Let me know how you want to work out making the donation.
ReplyDeleteThese all information which you can share over here is really very great. They are both a shelter and animal control, and absolutely swamped with dogs and on a super tight budget.
ReplyDeleteWell, These beds are not the cheapest on the market, but also not the most expensive by any stretch of the imagination. I have one, which is in green colour, it is favourite colour of my dog.
