Hello,
I am looking for recommendations for Dog beds, my pups are getting older and are in need of new beds, I am looking for some sources that sell good dog beds, I was looking at Orvis but the ones we priced out were over 700.00, which is a little steep for my pocketbook (even though the pups are worth it), when I say pups they are 10 and 9 years old.
 
ORVIS IS QUALITY. ALSO LOOK AT k9ballistics.com and kuranda.com FOR OTHER OPTIONS DEPENDING ON THE DOGS NEEDS.
 
Mine have take over my king size bed. No help here

We've got a 12 year old German Shepherd, 4 year old Lab, and a 6 year old mixed breed mutt... They go through beds like fat kids go through cake... I honestly gave up buying "nice" (expensive) beds for them a couple of years ago... It didnt matter if I bought them a $19 bed from Walmart, or a $199 "Orthopedic" bed from a pet store... in 90 days it was either shredded, or so beat up it no longer had any real integrity left in it..

We've resorted to buying Ruff Chew beds... Costco sells them for about $40.. I can get about 8-12 months out of them and have to replace them.. but thats better than $199 every 90 days... and theyre reasonably comfortable, spacious enough for the big dogs (the mutt is small), etc...

Ye, mine sleep on our queen size as well for nightly scratches and belly pets, but they do go to their beds as well 2 adults and 2 80# dogs gets snug, it’s nice when the temps fall below zero but gets hot in the summer

Love the description
 
California King with a pillow top lol seriously though, as my dog got older, he started seeking out the absolute softest and most plush spot he could find. He hated the memory foam I got him, favoring the couch with pillows and stuff. Good luck on your search, it sucks when they start getting older.

Ye, it is always bittersweet, as they age, The memories, comfort and love that they have provided are priceless, but the pain I feel having to help them in the truck, or the look in thier eyes when you grab the shotgun and head out without them hurts, you know their hearts are there but their bodies just can’t endure, I find Myself shortening my bird hunts and spend more time enjoying my dogs at their pace.
 
I started this thread looking for dog beds, now I want a good cigar, a bourbon and to contemplate life
 
Kong brand dog mattress at PetSmart or PetCo. Only dog bed my Great Dane couldn't destroy. Zippered cover made of ballistic nylon that you can remove from the foam form and wash in washer/dryer.
 
My Pillow! For dogs;)

Pillow and cover are machine washable and dryable.

I use a memory foam mattress that's 4" thick and 48" long by Brindle. They are less than $100 on Amazon. The dogs love them and with $30 fuzzy crate pad from Tractor Supply on top of them they hold up very well. The one my 9yr old setter sleeps on is 3 years and counting.
 
We’ve had a K9 ballistics for 6 years and it’s been solid. The cover is great and holds up well. Can’t go wrong.

Looking through the comments and photos on this thread, it's hard not to get a bit sentimental. They are truly our best friends (and members of the family).

My now 10-year-old German Shepherd has as the base a raised bed. On top of that is an LLBean soft cushion. On top of that, I put an LLBean's Rugged Quilted Dog Blanket. The raised bed keeps the dog off the cold floor in winter and provides support. It is easy to vacuum underneath. The middle cushion provides some softness. The blanket on top is easily washable--I have several of them, so I always have a clean one available. I am lucky in that my dog doesn't chew up his bedding.




Hope this is helpful.

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
