Will this topper give pressure relief for 75 - 90 lb dogs? They are up in age and arthrits is a problem. Dogs need comfort too.

I don't have dogs, but it does give pressure relief to me, especially the hips and I weigh a bit more than your dog, so I think it would be a benefit.

I agree that dogs need comfort too. I have three dogs and my largest is 60 lbs. she has bad joints. I have cut up an old topper into squares and put a blanket over it for her. It was a popular bed with all three of my dogs. Only problem is she's a chewer, even at 8 years old, so she pawed the blanket back and chewed apart the topper. If your dog isn't a chewer I think it would appreciate the topper.

I agree dogs need comfort to. I have a huskie that is 13 so i understand how you feel. I got laughed at when I bought her one of the memory foam. I even got her the 3" thick one since there is no mattress under her. So my answer is yes. :)

I would guess yes, because we have a large and we have four dogs who sleep on it comfortably at the same time! They weigh 60 lbs, 45 lbs, 45 lbs and 15 lbs :)

My vet recommended I try this collar before starting my dog on medications (doggie Prozac). Unfortunately it did not work for my 4 year old 20 lb Schnauzer who suffers from anxiety around other dogs. That does not mean it will not work for your dog. I would suggest you try it.

My dog is maybe 25 lbs lighter and the harness is slightly large on her. It's very adjustable, though, so it might work for you. Why don't you ask the manufacturer. It's really worth getting; makes a huge difference helping the dog up and down stairs, for example.

It's not the easiest to put on, especially if your dog is squirmy like mine. I found it worked best when I laid them on their backs. My main problem with these were that too were too stiff for my little 8lb dogs.

I have two dogs and they both lay on it, the combined weight is about 95 pounds and it seems to be fine. The material does flex since it's like a hammock. You might want to see if they have an X-large one. Hope this helps.

I have Golder Ret (85 lbs) and the fabric couldn't hold him. The rip happened in the fabric not the switches. So the fabric is not designed for large dogs. If your dog is 100lbs then this is not for you

Hi Kim, The dog that is using the harness is only 41kg, but the harness is very strong and well made so I would say that with the correct adjustment it would lift your dog. However 86kg is very heavy and you don't specify how tall your dog is or the physical capability and height of the person who would be using the harness and these factors would be critical to whether it is suitable to you. My wife, who is 46kg can use the harness but has difficulty obtaining sufficient height to stop the dog's rear paws dragging whereas I have noe issues at all. Hope this is helpful. David

Depends how closely they sleep together, but I would say yes. My 2 dogs- 80 and 55 pounds, comfortably fit with room to spare, but they both curl up.

Hello Jill! Did you end up purchasing this product? I too have a 45-50 lb dog and would love to purchase this for her. However, in the previous answers the people who were kind enough to answer seemed to miss the fact that their dogs were roughly double the size of our dogs and because it fit their 80-100 pound dogs doesn't mean it will fit ours. I'd love to hear whether it worked or not if you purchased it!

My dog is 78 lbs., so I don't feel qualified to answer your question. Perhaps ask your vet.

Speaking for this product: I doubt it would be comfortable. The straps aren't padded at all, so in my opinion it would really cut into you. My dog is 12# and the straps start to hurt my shoulders after a while. However, I love this product and that would be my only recommendation for an upgrade to this. I have seen other products that have padded straps so just keep looking, they are worth every penny!! Good luck!

It may be a tight squeeze but it could work for a small amount of time. I use mine for my Scottish terrier who is about 25lbs. You probably couldn't put food and water in there with them.

We have three Bichon Frise 'kids'. They all use the large bed. They are young and light in weight. They have no problem using this bed. It has maintained its firmness. We have had it for several months. Maybe if your dog is very heavy it might have an issue with its paws leaving a quick (not lasting) imprint on the bed, but not the cover. I would recommend giving it a try.

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.

Recently, my 10 yr. old basset's arthritis has progressed so after a period of inertia, last evening or first arrising in the morning, she is unable to handle stairs. I'm going to try this or something like it and let you know how we work it out together.

Yes it should help. You can inflate it as much as you want. The fuller it is, the harder to drop his/her head down lower. I left it in my little puppy for almost 10 days straight after surgery- slept in it as well, very soft- comfortable than most. It is worth a try.
