My American Bully is 11 yrs old and 80lbs. Her joints hurt and she was having trouble sleeping. I give her supplements and doggy CBD oil and she had a Lazy Boy dog bed and still she was restless at night and never slept well.
So, we splurged on this bed hoping it would be what she needed. And I am so thankful it is, we've had this bed for a couple months now and my old girl sleeps so well!

I would like to start off with the size of bed I bought and the size of my dog, Charlie, to help others decide. Charlie is a Bearded Collie mix (not Boarder Collie...people never seem to hear/read Bearded). He is 72lbs and he is long (as in height and leg length). If he is on his hind legs he easily reaches my shoulders and above, and I am 5'7". So when he lays down he either curls up into a tiny ball and looks small or he will stretch out and can take up an entire loveseat. I ordered him the XL bed to ensure he could stretch out. While he can't lay totally flat when he stretches out I noticed he is enjoying putting his legs and/or head up on the bolster around the bed. I posted pics of him (being joined by his sister Smoosh, to his dismay) but he never looks as big as he is in his pics. Also, please excuse the bad do. He is getting a haircut and bath next week but I wanted to get this review up to hopefully help others.

A little history. Charlie is 12 and has been showing signs of having issues with his hips (his Vet says his weight is perfect for his size and he is healthy so it's just old age). He had a memory foam bed from Serta that I was never all that impressed with but he seemed to like it. It was about $100.00 less than this bed and you can tell why. The Serta bed PALES in comparison to the size of this bed and the foam support of this bed. The foam is nice and thick and squishy. And I like how the bolster almost encircles the bed so he doesn't hang off of it. It keeps his body contained on the mattress.

Anyway, three days ago Charlie slipped and fell while bouncing at the cats. They stalk him. They will stare him down and creep up on him. In return he stares them down and then he will eventually bounce at them. They scatter and he is proud of himself. Whatever this exchange is they repeat it often between the four of them and at the end of the day they are all best buds and love one another.

However, this particular fall ended up with him injuring his leg. By the end of that day he would not put weight on his back leg. With his bad hips it was a struggle for him to get up and down. By early morning Friday I was in tears thinking this injury might do him in.

In desperation I searched the internet for orthopedic beds that would be better than what he had. I was thinking that might help take some of the pressure off his hips. The reviews on the internet led me to this bed. I purchased it and the best shipping I could get via Prime was for it to arrive on Saturday.

Friday morning I woke up and he was worse. I was helping him get up and move around. I talked to my Vet and they said to keep an eye on him and bring him in Monday if it didn't improve. It just seemed to continue to get worse.

By Saturday morning it was not good. I was crying thinking I was going to lose my dog. He would cry out if he just shifted wrong in his old bed. This new bed finally arrived around 2:00 pm on Saturday so I quickly put it together and helped him move beds. It is super easy to put together. Within minutes he was sawing some serious logs. This was the most content I had seen him since he injured his leg. He spent most of the day in his new bed.

By 8:00 pm Saturday night Charlie was getting up and down with a slight struggle but actually walking around and putting a little weight on his leg. By 9:00 pm his personality was back and he was walking around and putting more weight on his leg. In fact, he was even acting silly.

When Sunday morning rolled around not only was he walking around (gingerly) and putting weight on his back leg but he got up from his bed without a struggle. He had been having a little bit of a hard time getting in and out of his old bed prior to the injury due to his hips.

It has been less than 24 hours of having this bed but Charlie's injury is massively better AND his hips aren't bothering him when he is getting up and down from this bed. To see my senior dog struggle less means the world to me.

I am so happy I bought this bed. It collects hair like crazy but I will deal with the hair if it means my senior dogs joints are getting some much needed relief. Unfortunately I can't comment on how waterproof it is, etc. yet but the cover does feel like a good waterproof material. The foam has expanded even more too and when I have knelt on it to interact with Charlie it's definitely soft. Seriously, if you have a senior dog you should consider this bed. To see so much of an improvement in less than 24 hours of receiving this bed is just amazing.

This is my 150lb Great Dane in the jumbo bed and it makes her look tiny. I love that it is truly washable and all of the padding is removable. The pad is 5" thick and way thicker than any $100 bed I've bought previously. It was very expensive, but seems super well made and tough so I'm very encouraged that it will last.

When I first found this bed, I thought it was a little pricey - but it was a GREAT investment. I was looking for something easy to clean, as my dog is very elderly and gets ill sometimes.. this is durable and easy to take apart for cleaning. All the Pyr hair just comes right off in the wash. My dog seems to find it very comfortable, opting to sleep on it instead of the sofa. All around a great dog bed.

Ok, so I guessed"¦the next size up would fit on top of my 30"L x 19"W x 21" H dog kennel as the smallest PetFusion bed fits great with enough room for my 12 lb 3-yr Yorkie to lay on and look out the window while safely jumping off. (Have a padded bench to jump onto the top of the cage and bed). I was trying for the next size up for the 3-yr old and the current one for my 3 mo Yorkie. Hoping to maintain the same size crate to sit side by side in front of the big living room window under the shade tree. I tried sizing up on the cage anyway but the length is the same and the bed overlaps by 5"! Hoping I can figure out how to return for the smaller size!
