While watching your dog suffer from joint and mobility problems as they get older can be pretty heartbreaking, don’t lose hope just yet. Itchy Boxer’s new guide to orthopedic dog beds for Boxers explains how an orthopedic bed can help your four-legged friend find some relief and outlines the features of some of the most popular beds available in today’s market.

While Boxers are usually energetic and playful, sadly they are also prone to mobility-reducing joint issues such as hip dysplasia and arthritis in their later years, the guide notes. However, an orthopedic bed can reduce the pressure on your dog’s joints by distributing their weight more evenly across their bed when they sleep, helping them to stay active in their senior years.

Several orthopedic dog beds are recommended by Itchy Boxer in the new guide such as the Furhaven Orthopedic Dog Bed. This bed provides a sturdy memory foam base for joint support with a soft, faux fur cover. The cover is also easily removable and machine washable to help you maintain a hygienic sleeping environment for your dog.

The Big Barker Pillow Top Orthopedic Dog Bed is another option mentioned in the guide which is ideal for Boxers above 70 pounds. The extra-large bed is 7 inches thick to support the weight of heavier dogs and comes with a 10-year warranty.

For dogs with allergies or sensitive skin, orthopedic dog beds made from hypoallergenic materials are also available such as the KOPEKS Orthopedic Memory Foam Dog Bed. This bed also features a waterproof lining to protect the memory foam from nighttime accidents.

When you’re choosing an orthopedic bed for your Boxer, you should also consider your dog’s sleeping habits. A rectangular bed will usually work best for dogs that normally lie flat when they sleep, while a round bed is likely a better choice if your dog prefers to curl up when they rest.

If you live in a hotter climate, Itchy Boxer also recommends purchasing a cooling mat for your Boxer’s bed to help them get a comfortable rest. Keeping chew toys available near your dog’s bed can also help them relax before bedtime, explains the guide.

“Investing in a high-quality orthopedic bed is a step towards ensuring your Boxer’s long-term health and comfort,” says the guide. “By selecting the right size and ensuring the bed provides adequate support, you can help improve your Boxer’s sleep quality and overall well-being.”
