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.
