How much time until your dog wants to sleep on it? He slept on it last night when I was with him but this morning he was back in his old bed.

My dog slept on it through the night the first couple of nights, but now he'll start on it and move to the floor or just stay on the floor. Not sure what to take from it.

My dog did not even go near the bed when I first got it. I was thinking about giving it away, then one day my cat who weighs about 5 lbs was on it, so I said I will keep it even if she is the only one who gets on it. My dog (who is 117 pounds) still does not regularly get on it, but since she has about three beds, three couches and a love seat that she can get on, why would she. I got it because she is a mastiff and I know they sometimes develop hip problems, so I thought this would help her.

We have an 11-year old Border Collie and she took to it immediately and rarely gets off of it. She has never been an alpha dog and has never met a stranger. She freely gives up her food, her bones, her toys and everything- but her bed is sacred and the other dogs know not to go near even if she's not on it. She loves it and her arthritis is better than when sleeping directly on the carpet.

Mine did the same thing! I ended up moving her old bed out and putting a blanket she loves on the new bed. It probably took a week until she started sleeping on it regularly. Now she loves it.

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.

About one month. I notice a change in my dog's behavior, and that reminds me to replace it. :)

I've got a German Shepherd too and he's been sleeping on his bed with no trouble. He's blowing his undercoat, but he's not overheated in his bed wither or there would be sweat spots on it, and there hasn't been since I got it for him. He's very happy and much more comfortable sleeping on it from the very first night.

I have a 60lb Goldendoodle and have had the bed for about 3 months so far. It's holding up well so far. It's outside and I hose it off sometimes.

good support and does not lose its shape and seems to be very comfortable ...our dogs love these beds. While not a vet, i think the combo of the support and softness would be good for him. good luck hope he feels better

Like I did with my older dog, I "walked" her up a few times before she got it. I also had all the "love" waiting for her on my bed. Maybe try food waiting at the top of the steps. Good luck :)

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.

You might need a bigger bed. My dog is 65 pounds now. He fits when he's curled up but I couldn't see him fitting if he was 20 lbs heavier

No, I slept on it a few hours after I put it on my bed. Worked like a charm!

I read the reviews and took my time... It has been on the bed for a while now. Keeping in mind its one of my tenants. I'll ask them if its still on there securely.

It's a bit awkward moving it around, but once you have it in place you just cut away the plastic and let it settle. We gave ours 24 hours before sleeping on it. Moving it in its current form is going to be a bit tricky.

He could. It would be a little on the small side. I find the dogs will sleep on anything and be happy though. They even pile on top of each other in a small bed. The interior diameter is 18 inches, and they always curve in a ball to sleep, so that should help you decide based on the size of your curled up dog. If he's going to grow more than that, I would get a bigger bed, unless you just prefer to have a smaller bed.

I didn't realize that i came in different sizes? My dog is a papillion and Jack Russell mix he weighs 22 pounds and the bed fits him perfect but when he stretches out to sleep it's a little snug. I use this bed to put him in when we are traveling. Not sure if I helped you?

My dog is 4, with no arthritis. When I first got this bed, he would never get on it. Then, I thought why not make it comfy. I put a folded quilt on top, and now I can't keep him off of it. He loves it. I love it because he's off the ground.

Hi. I don't sleep on mine. I just lay on it for about 30 minutes. I find that is enough, to achieve a nice sensation.

It is certainly a comfy bed and has proven beneficial for my dog; however, I am not a vet and cannot give any valid advice. I hope your pup does well, I have a mini hotdog too. good luck.
