Would this bed fight a 90lbs black lab female? she's 7 years old and I was also wondering does the orthopedic foam really help?

Our 3 dogs, all adults (a Golden Retriever, American Staffordshire Terrier, and Portuguese Water Dog) all love this bed and sleep on it every night! And believe it or not, all 3 manage to curl up and fit on it at hrs same time! So, yes...definitely roomy enough for 1-2 black Labs! I had qualms about getting them a bed initially as I did not know if they would actually sleep on it, but they do! It might also be that they like the location of it in our house, as I situated it in the corner of our room on the other side of our bed...so, the location may offer some. "den-like" feeling of protection for them. But whatever the case, they love their bed!

My 60 lb Husky had plenty of room, with room left over. It feels very nice, like a memory foam mattress. I had to send it back however, because Mr. Husky absolutely refused to have anything to do with it. I thought he would love it. I did, but he did not. I even rubbed the cover all over my body to get my scenton it (as recommended by the manufacturer) before putting it on the bed. I do believe it would help his arthritis if he gave it a chance. It feels nice and supportive to me. The downside is that if it doesn't work for your dog, it costs $32.00 to send it back, as it is very heavy. My 60 lb Husky had plenty of room, with room left over.

The bed certainly would not fight her ... I'm just kidding around. I have a standard poodle that weighs 51 lbs and Pit-bull that weighs 70 lbs. They share one of the two beds that I bought when they sleep in our bedroom, so unless she is disproportionate she will definitely fit. As far as the foam is concerned, I am not sure how much it helps in regards to bones and pains for dogs. I do know that they sleep better than they have on any non orthopedic bed and now they both seem to be too good for the ground. I hope this answers your question.

My lab is about 80 lbs and she fits on this one easily. Also, she (& I) love the foam and believe it works really well. She loves to be on her bed and I wish I could fit on it! My lab is 12 and this is the best bed she's ever had. We love it and hope you will, too. Note: it does look different than typical dog beds (Not fluffy and pillow-y looking), but once you get over the "look factor" and actually feel it, you will see the difference! :-) I will often sit on the bed to pet my lab and I am jealous she gets to sleep on it and not me!

I purchased this bed for my son's dog. The dog is 6 yrs old andis very comfortable sleeping on the be. He took to it in about10 minutes. He seems very comfortable and the bed came with3 covers and one of the covers has been washed. The past bedwas aweful and this one is standing up to his 65 lbs. I wouldpurchased another if and when needed. Made by a youngmanufacturer in Calif. which I did not know when I bought it.

I have a 90 lb boxer, approximately 9 years old. (He's a rescue dog, so we're not sure of his exact age.) I've made 3 significant investments for him that I simply don't regret. The first was this bed. He needed something large enough for his entire body to fit on when he stretched out on his side. As for the foam, I think that is the best part. He moves slowly and with a slight limp, mostly in the mornings after laying down all night. I can't imagine how much worse that would be without the the foam padding to cushion his old bones. The other two investments, in case you're wondering, is an elevated feeding bowl (Neater Feeder) and a bigger doggie door so he didn't have to stoop so far down to go outside.

I have walked up and down it myself and I am "slightly" over 117lb! The bigger problem you might have is convincing her to use it. It has no sides and the carpet is pretty smooth underfoot. My 18 lb Bichon avoids it like it is evil. Yes I tried all the training tips but it didnt work for my dog. So it sits in a corner. The best use we have found for it thusfar has been helping us slide two upholstered wing chairs up to the second floor via our stairway.

Yes! I use it for my lab mix who is 48 lbs and it works great. She is 12 years old so we put a soft dog bed in and she sit up and enjoys the ride!

Virginia this is an excellent bed and I would think it would be good for all ages. Even without arthritic conditions dogs benefit from a good bed as witnessed by rough dry spots that some dogs get from lying on hard surfaces. However, I do agree with one of the other answers that you might want to wait to see how much your pup chews or what he chews on before spending so much money on a bed.

My dog is heavy (120 lbs) and about 8-9 years old. She loved jumping over the bar, but it made her arthritis worse. I read (later) that overweight dogs shouldn't do that. I didn't try any of the other stuff and I'm not sure how tall Leah is so I can't really answer for the rest of the stuff. I gave the set to a friend with a smaller dog and her dog loved it all and even slept inside the tube.

My dog weighs roughly 50 pounds (pit bull). The XL is huge, even for her. But the extra space is nice because she can spread out and lay in different areas of the bed. I have not seen the Large so I cannot speak to that. But, I would say that the XL would probably be too big for your dog. Great bed all around. My dog loves it.

Hello Nisha-I purchased this dog bunk bed last year for my dog (40 lbs). The bed comes with 2 mattresses and I put both on the top bunk for her, which was about 4 inches total in thickness. My concerns with your dog using it would be that the weight limit for the bunk bed is only 50 lbs. Also, with your dog having hip problems, there could be a challenge of them getting in and out due to the height of the top bunk. The bottom portion of the bunk would be too hard for the dog to get in and out of, for the openings are small. I can say this with confidence since I also have an 80 lb dog (lab/weimaraner mix) to compare size and function with. Hope this helps!

Oour lab is now a year old and 70 lbs. Never had a problem, but he's very even tempered. Based on the construction I don't think you'll have any problems.

I'm not familiar with the other bed. My young growing 80 Rottweiler loves it. She did manage to rip the zipper on the cover but I just layer blankets. I know she prefers it because she wants to sleep at the side if my bed. But I've placed her bed outside my sliding glass door on the deck. Every night she attempts to stick it out n sleep on the floor. But always ends up on her bed outside. She sleeps very soundly on this bed. Other places she's constantly repositioning herself. The ten yr warranty sold me. But watching her love it made me love it. A 4 inch layer wouldn't give her the support.

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!

my lab is 105 pounds and we bought the extra large so I would think the large would be fine for your dog.Unless they are sharing than buy the jumbo.its the best bed then we have ever bought for the dogs I think you'll be very happy with it

I really can't say specifically about Hip Problems however My RottiHound Mix has used the Bed extensively with a CCL injury even after TPLO Surgery with beneficial effects. From what I have seen I am sold on the Bed. I only wish I had purchased the extra large instead of the large for when she chooses to fully stretch out.

Tough question to answer. I got this bed for my dog after he started having hip problems... I actually ended up having his hip replaced. He's 9 years old and absolutely loves the bed, so much so I bought another one to place in a different part of the house. The bed is a mix between firm and soft. Its actually similar to a temperpedic (sp) bed for humans. He doesn't seem to have trouble getting off of it, but it may be a bit soft for your dog if she has balance issues. Long story short, I would buy it and check it out... I've recommended the bed to a few of my friends who have dogs and they all love it as well. I hope that helps. Tough question to answer.

I would think so. My Johnson American Bulldog is about 130 pounds and he stretches completely out when he sleeps and he has plenty of room on the XL bed and then some. Might want to check the Facebook page for Big Barker. They have a lot of pictures that customers have sent in of their dogs on the bed and there might be some with Mastiffs on them.

Yes. I have a lab and she does the same thing. She is about 70 pounds and has plenty of room.

One of my dogs has arthritis and seems to manage this bed, though carefully, and as long as he goes from a long side. The protruding legs tripped him up when we first got one. That may also be a factor of age. He is 75# and 14+ years old. He does take an anti-inflammatory for his arthritis.
