I love this dog bed. The cover does hold! I've taken it off and washed it in machine. It was like new, and no shrinkage. My dog loves the bed. He weighs 80 pounds and has room to spare. The bed does not make a sink hole where dog lays. It holds firm at every point. I'm so impressed with this bed I recommend it to all my friends.

If your dog is not steady on their feet, maybe not. We have a 14 year old arthritic dog who could walk on it but his problem was the 7" thickness. He likes to roll on his bed and he rolled off which stunned him and he will not get back on the bed. I bought two of these beds. Our Golden Retriever who is 10 had no problem standing on it and likes her bed. It's very well made and an attractive bed. I think it would be good for our arthritic dog if we could get him back on it. I haven't had the beds long enough to comment on the cover but I've had other beds with this type of cover and they held up very well with repeated washings.

My 7 yr old 100lb LAB LOVES THIS BED! He prefers laying on this over anything, now. He has given up the sweet spot on the couch to my foster- and he wants to lay on this dog bed! He can get on/ off of it easily. The cover seems durable- mine will even claw at it sometimes trying to get comfortable and it has held up just fine.

We have two small dogs that share the xlarge bed. This bed is very firm and heavy. A large dog should do well.

I would highly recommend this bed to all large dog owners. We have had large dogs for over 20yrs and this is by far the best bed we have ever found. Our Weimaraner loves this bed.

My dog is a 14 year old lab with weak hips. He can walk on, get up and down with no problems. The size of the bed can handle a larger dog. Definitely would buy again for my dog. Cover is holding up fine.

(1) The bed is quite firm so your great dane won't sink too much into the bed when he/she gets up - but it depends on how strong he/she is (2) I have not had my dog bed for long, so I can't say; plus my dog needs her blanket on it so she is not sleeping directly on the fabric of the bed. I would always order one size bigger for an older dog, just to give them enough space without their legs hanging off so if the X-Large is exact, go one size up.

Good Sunday morning! We have the XL model and can accommodate two dogs. One is a 70 lb. Olde English Bulldogge and the other is a Boston Terrier mix about 38 lbs. Having four wheels is key as the weight shift within is inevitable as they move around so won't tip over. Most of the upper part of the carrier is mesh. The top unzips and so does the whole front end for ease of entry/exit. The carrier sits about 5-6" off the ground so not too difficult to help an ailing dog inside. Our Bulldogge is invalid and frequently needs a "boost" to get inside and BOTH dogs love it! We put a cushion inside to lay on as the floor is firm. Would strongly recommend this carrier.

I have a great dane he weighs about 140 right now at 13 months. I laid on it myself and I'm 170. If the dog stands in it, it sinks in a little. However when he's laying it the weight is distributed evenly. I've only had it for a few days but so far so good. It seems to bounce back after he leaves it. I'll update in a the next few months.

The bed works great for either my 12 OR my 25 pd, dogs, but not both of them. Would be a huge waste of money for you.

Just to chime in on your comment about owning Great Danes!I have three Great Danes. My girl lives and sleeps on the CoolAroo bed. The first month the frame began to "bend" and warp as she was waaaaay to heavy. So, I gave the bed to my daughter who has a French Bulldog and its perfect for her. I had my carpenter make a custom wood bedframe and got a mattress covered in Sunbrella fabric for the danes. Perfect!

The bed stays cool and you would be suprised on how much your dog will love this product. My Great Dane is very picky about where he sleeps, this dog bed was the only way I could get him off my bed. I suggest you try it out, if he is addement on still trying to sleep on the 500 thread count then you can get it fit on the bed itself by a tailor.

I have two of these bed for my two Great Danes. One is 190lb and the other is 135lb. They did ware a spot in the middle. You can fluff them up. I would buy these again. These are a good buy.

I use it for a large lab and it works. A larger dog like yours might hang over a bit (head and feet) unless he curls a bit but the bed would certainly keep him from bottoming out - the memory foam only bottoms out when my 230 pound husband steps on it.

My largest is an over sized lab and she fits well. I would not hesitate to purchase this bed for large or extra large breed dogs. My elderly dogs with their arthritis enjoy the comfort of these beds.

Definitely. This bed is perfect for an older arthritic dog. It has plenty of support & it's the best memory foam dog bed I've found. I have an 8 year old lab & she loves it. This height is also easier for an arthritic dog to get on. If the bed was taller, it'd be a serious climb just to get on it. I'm VERY happy with this bed!

If you really need a good suggestion I would like to know his/her age, weight, hight and length. My dog is a mixed breed with long body and long legs. I guess she is a in between sizes for the other manufactures' crates. They are either too small or too big. Some manufacture offer buying guide based on dog's weight. That didn't work for our tall and thin dog. Some older dogs can be less flexible that they need more room to turn around in it too. If your dog is still a puppy, get used ones until he stop growing. The rule of sum is the crate should be tall enought for him to stand and wide or long enough for her to turn around. I hope this will help you. Good luck!

What kind of dog is it? That might help me answer your question better. Just randomly I would say probably not. If they have any kind of long legs that's just not going to work. It's sort of big but kinda the size of a Sheltie maybe not really any larger. My dog does love this bed. If they like to curl up in a ball it might work then. It would be much too small for a lab, Collie, Rottie, etc.

I would try contacting Happy Hounds - they might just sell the cover since you purchased the whole bed from them.

sorry I can't help. he xlg I bought is big enough for two big dogs. I'd try to contact seller/source: dog bed king. it's hard to get precise product info.

I don't know why these answers are so different. I just measured it and it's 48" L x. 30" W x 32" . I have the XL. I have another crate the same size and similar build that I got a few years ago from Tractor Supply. That one was the biggest they have and it is supposedly appropriate for Great Danes. I have 2 German Shepherds. They each have their own crate. It fits them nicely although their ears still stick up through the top of the crate when they're standing. It doesn't seem to bother them. Each of them has room to walk in, turn around and lie down. My 3-year old is 75-80 lbs and has a very long body (they're European working line dogs) and when he really stretches out on his side he covers the full length of the crate. These crates are strong and, as a side benefit, are easy to hose down on those occasions when the dogs have, shall we say, intestinal issues.

My dog is the same weight, but w/ long legs. I made a comment after purchasing this dog house, that it measures smaller than the dimensions listed when I got it. It should be ok. I do like (& my dog likes) the PetMate that I got years ago that is about 3 inches longer. If your dog likes to stretch out, then this one is too small. Hope this helps.

We have a 101 lb weimaraniner, and he does great. The covers zip off so you could add to it or change it if needed. :)
