Orthopaedic Pet Bed, grey, SILENTNIGHT

Bought for my senior cat who usually won’t use cat beds, however with this being orthopaedic and him starting to get a bit stiff with his joints, I thought I’d give it a go. Well, he absolutely loves it! Would highly recommend, especially for older pets.

My mums elderly arthritic cat didn't seem to be able to lie comfortably anymore so I bought her this and she took to it straight away. She can use the edge to prop up her head as well

I can only give this three stars as my dog has a choice of three beds and this one always comes last. I bought it to replace one and have been trying to tempt her to use it. Sadly, she prefers her softer beds, despite being old and arthritic. I think she finds it too hard. However, I will keep it because 'maybe one day'……..

When I unpacked this, my cat was more interested in sitting on the packaging than the bed. But I put some of her blankets inside and she spent her first night sleeping on it. She was quite wary at first, I probably should have washed it before first use. It's a bit tricky to get the side panels stuffed into the cover.

Super orthopaedic dog bed good to wash and good for my elderly Labrador

A great bed for my 17 year old Jack Russell who has weary old bones. He looks very comfortable in it. However, breaking the habit of his lifetime of getting up onto the sofa is proving difficult to do 😊

It was a bit of a job to get the bolster into the pocket, but once in, it’s fine. When he’s in the bed, he uses the sides as a pillow.

Not as good as the brand name suggests.

My dog likes to scratch before he settles (like most dogs)

He ripped through the black cushion surface in 24hrs.

Pointless waste of money.

Bed bought for our 18 month Labrador who has Bilateral Hip Dysplasia, hoping in would support him better!

After the battle to get the filling into the cover and letting it “ inflate” the mattress area seems very firm, in fact far too firm as the foam is very thin. Bob has had the bed a couple of weeks now and he’s still not convinced, he still seems to prefer his plastic bed with a cheap foam pad and quilt or his much cheaper Charcoal Polyester filled fluffy pillow mattress from a well known pet store!

I know from experience myself that very firm mattresses can cause pain, I think this may be the problem, just not enough foam on the base, perhaps more suitable for much lighter dogs as the mattress seems to be the same thickness on all the beds, but obviously a dog using a large bed in much heavier than a dog using the small size, Bob is far from huge, he’s 27kilo. Personally from Bobs opinion over the last few weeks I don’t think he recommends it, so neither do I.

Sorry Silentnight, I expected better from the “Bed Experts”
