I'm about to get a German Shepard puppy who will certainly grow into this bed. But do you think he will feel lost in it until he grows up?

I wish I would've been able to buy these beds when my dogs were still puppies bc they're such awesome beds! Even if he does feel lost in it, he won't for very long and it's totally worth it.

I certainly would not buy this bed for any puppy of mine until my puppy was 100% potty trained. It's way too big and way too expensive. He will certainly soil it. If you want to keep it in storage until he grows up, then go for it, or allow him to sleep on it while keeping a diligent eye on him until his next potty break, but do not allow him to go to the bathroom on it after spending over $200 on this bed!!!! If my standard poodle was still a puppy learning housebreaking rules, I would certainly NOT buy him this bed. WAY TOO BIG with too much room for him to pee on it. Sorry to sound so repetitive.

He'll have plenty of room to stretch out. It's not a fluffy pillow bed, though. I don't think he'll feel lost in it or have difficulty getting out of it. It is weight supportive. Plus a Shepherd will grow into it quickly.

Yeah its pretty big so you will have plenty of room for him to grow in. Mine loved it and still does.

Like the others, I am also unsure of the weight limit but it's no problem for an 80lb German Shepherd. It kind of dips in the center (slightly) when she is on it, but I think that's what it's supposed to do to absorb her weight. It bounces right back once she's off of it. It's a really nice bed and does seem strong, but the large size would not be big enough for a 200lb Great Dane.

Yup. Ours is around 75lbs and is tall. He doesn't have a ton of extra room, but plenty enough. Yours should be just fine.

It would probably be a snug fit. If he/she likes to be in that type of bed then it would work. The sides are padded but not very high so my Boston Terrier (16 lbs) isn't able to snuggle down into the bed like she could with her old one. I would buy a bigger size next time.

My pup has grown to 15 lbs now and I feel like its a bit small for him. What happens is a lot of times he'll lift his left and ends up aiming off the pad, or only his front paws are on the pad and his behind ends up off the pad. I guess it all depends on what size wee wee pads you use.

I think your German Shepherd would fit in the crate and be quite comfortable especially if he/she will only sleep in it.Hope this help..

Yes, I concur. Get the larger bed. Or you may also want to consider a bolster bed for your dog. They're great because they give the animal support (something to bolster against), as well as a cushy bed, and our dogs seem to prefer them to traditional beds. Good luck!

I would think so. Is your dog a puppy or fully grown and how much does the dog weigh?

Not a husky, but i've got a german shepherd mix 50lbs and she loves it, we also have a pure german shepherd pup 4 months old 40 lbs, he drags it around the house smacking it into everything trying to get the treats out, hasn't quite figured it out yet lol. but they both play with it, keeps them interested and busy. nice heavy duty material, just have to play with what kind of treats to put in it so that they come out but not too many at one time.

My German Shepherd is 98 pounds and doesn't bottom out at all as long as I fluff it up every month or two. He absolutely loves this bed... It's his favorite thing in the world.

Yes, he will have room to move and turn around! I have an english mastiff, he's about 125 pounds and growing, he moves around just fine , we even keep food and water in there for him as well. I love it! But takes up a large part of our living room!

yes this bed is way bigger than I thought it would be. I do error on the side of caution for any of these memory foam beds if your dog is older with arthritis, my 14 yr German Shep mix cant get enough traction on them and gets stuck. This can be very dangerous if they get stuck like that all day. But if your Newfie is in good shape this might be he/she new fav spot.

i will say no. he will not fit with enough space to move around. i have 3 yorkies all adults at 3, 5 & 7lbs. they are not to tall just regular size. and when my 7lbs goes in she verly fits. and her head touches the top unless is open. i really wanted something bigger :(

Yes, It is great for our german shepard. After a couple shocks for not listening she is a new dog. We do not have to shock anymore just vibrate occasionally to make her listen. This is well built and well worth the money. Just make sure the prongs are past the long hair and touching skin.

I had to return my co-sleeper bed because my dogs would not even go near it. But I did think it was nicely made and a good idea. I don't know the exact size of the lower bunk but a German Shepherd could not get in and out of the lower bunk. That space is best for a small dog under 25 lbs or a cat. And even the small dog would have to "duck". If the German Shepherd is not too big, he could fit in the top bunk but may need help getting in and out.

Size wise yes, if he/she has separation anxiety then a big NO. My 55lb German Shepherd gets out of this crate easily. I had to order a different crate because this one is easily, and I stress easily, bent.
