Fabrics
All of our fabrics and beds can be washed or hosed clean with soap, water and/or disinfectants.
Provides the most Orthopedic Comfort…
The Kuranda dog bed evenly supports your pet unlike filled beds that can clump and become uneven. Veterinarians recommend this bed as especially beneficial for pets who suffer from hip problems, arthritis or aging. Because the bed supports the dog up off the floor it is easier for elderly dogs to get up from the bed than from the floor or very low beds. It provides firm support and an elevated barrier from cold, drafty or hard floors. The hammock design provides orthopedic comfort good for healthy hips and joints for dogs of all ages and prevents ugly elbow calluses caused from lying on a hard floor. Your dog may even choose his own Kuranda bed over yours!
Easiest to Clean
Unlike cushioned beds which hold odors and germs, Kuranda beds are easily wiped clean with a sponge. The entire bed can be hosed off outside or washed in the shower using soap and water. Vacuuming and mopping under the bed is a breeze. Kuranda beds stand up for years with daily disinfecting in kennels and animal shelters.
Great for Outdoor Use
Vinyl weave fabric allows air and water to flow through making it a great bed for outdoors to keep your dog off the damp ground and away from fleas and ticks. It is also perfect to keep swimming and incontinent dogs high and dry, or to take camping!
Adjustable leg height
The Standard Bed heights are 6? for beds up to size Large and 9? for X-Large & XX-Large. We ship an additional set of 3? legs with our Crate Beds.
