Big Barker 7-inch Pillowtop Orthopedic Dog Bed Sleek Edition
Our horse-puppy, Max, is a 4 year old English Mastiff who currently weighs 220 lbs. Max is a pretty good size boy and stands just about 46 inches to the top of his head and is roughly the same from nose to his hind legs. We're your average couple and spend our money as wisely as possible. And like everyone else, we're willing to spend the extra bucks for quality.
So, like so many others, we've purchased a few 'large breed' dog beds from different local 'pet stores'. And, like all the others, found all of them extremely lacking for various reasons. First, the so called orthopedic foam is crap and doesn't hold up. Even better, the cheesy inner liner is so thin, it wears out and thus you have foam pieces in the washer, dryer and everywhere else when you take the cover off to clean it. Finally is the size....they're just not big enough for him to get his full body on and stretch out comfortably. In our short 3 years owning Max, we've been through 2 beds and a new 'orthopedic' baby bed from Walmart.
So, after our last stint with the WalMart baby bed, I did some searching on the good 'old interweb and came across Big Barker. I was impressed with the size and quality of their beds. And, because we like to support our own country, we loved the fact they're REALLY made in America. So, we decided to ordered one. Once it arrived, we let it air out & 'fluff' for 24 hours, then turned the beast loose upon it. All I can say is WOW.. FINALLY a bed that's big enough for him, AND.. he really likes spending time napping on it. DOUBLE BONUS!! We didn't purchase the waterproof liner, but really didn't need it as the worst thing it has to endure is his slobber and weight. Really like the outer cover too, it comes off easily and washes very well. All in all, thank you guys very much for a fabulous product that's truly worth every penny. I wish you all great success in the future.
