How do Dogs Benefit from Orvis Dog Beds?
You may wonder whether or not your dog would benefit from having his own special bed, and to help answer these questions, just consider how much of his day your dog spends sleeping. Chances are, quite a lot of it!
With this in mind, it’s important that he has somewhere comfortable to settle down, and which will accommodate his sleeping style. If he loves to sprawl out, take a look at one of the long or rectangular beds in the Orvis range. If he prefers to curl up in a ball, a round bed will probably suit him better.
Likewise, it’s important to select a bed which will offer your dog adequate support. As dogs get older, the floor can be a little unforgiving on stiff and painful joints, but if they have a truly comfortable bed, it will, without doubt, help to bring relief to their aches and pains.
Whilst all Orvis dog beds will provide your dog with a comfortable place to sleep, in cases where a little extra support is called for, memory foam and TEMPUR-PEDIC beds – which will offer supreme comfort and support to your dog – are well represented in the range of Orvis dog beds, and are covered in greater detail below.
To cater for dogs who love to chew, Orvis have created their ToughChew Deep Dish dog bed. It’s a well recognized fact that many dogs chew as a result of anxiety or fear, and to help them overcome this, the ToughChew Deep Dish has been specially designed to provide anxious dogs with a bed which gives them a sense of safety and security. Complete with a soft bolster which runs around the top of the bed, this not only provides a comfortable place on which to lay a weary head, but it will make an anxious dog feel less exposed, and so, more secure.
With a filling of resilient spun polyester, the Deep Dish features a removable, washable cover of two layers of super tough, 1,000-denier Cordura nylon, on which Orvis offer a money-back guarantee if your dog manages to chew through it!
For dogs that love being out and about, there’s an Outdoor Orvis dog bed especially to suit him. This extra-strong bed has highly durable, washable covers which have been specially treated to prevent water absorption, allowing any liquid to pass through the bed. Any dog will love to flop down on this bed after running around in the fresh air.
When the hot weather comes around, Orvis have a Raised Cooling bed to suit the occasion. Specially designed to help keep your dog cool in the hot weather, this mesh dog bed has a tough, nylon surface which is raised 6″ off the ground to allow for the circulation of cooling air. Suitable for outdoor or indoor use, the bed has a lightweight PVC frame, making it easily portable.
What Type Of Filling And Lining Is Best For Your Dog?
You may also like to give some thought to the most suitable type of filling for your dog’s bed. For example, is he’s a serial chewer, don’t choose a bed with a polystyrene bead filling, or you’ll be regretting it pretty soon!
The types of fillings and finishes available for Orvis dog beds are as follows;
Spun Polyester – the most popular filling for Orvis dog beds, spun polyester offers the softness of a pillow and is easily machine washed inside its lining.
Tempur-Pedic
This offers your dog the ultimate in comfort and support. Most commonly known for its use in the manufacture of mattresses, pillows and slippers for humans, Orvis dog beds feature TEMPUR-PEDIC fillings to help ensure that your dog has the most comfortable and relaxed sleep experience possible. TEMPUR-PEDIC beds are particularly beneficial to older dogs, as they help to cushion painful joints, provide support, and help regulate the body temperature, which will ensure they sleep soundly and peacefully.
Memory Foam
The memory foam in Orvis dog beds is specially designed for dogs. Much like the memory foam which is used in products which are manufactured for humans, it helps to completely support your dog’s weight, but over a significantly smaller surface area. It will give your dog warmth – along with the comfort of softness – but offer a much firmer surface than some of the other Orvis dog beds, and will also help to relieve pressure on aching, irritated and sore joints or injuries. For an aging or arthritic dog, this really will make all the difference.
Polystyrene Beads – these are great for dogs who love to dig themselves a ‘hole’ before they settle down for the night, but they are a little noisier than the other fillings in the range of Orvis dog beds. With this in mind, they are not the best choice for timid or easily frightened dogs, or for dogs who love to chew.
ToughChew
For maximum durability, the ToughChew liners used in Orvis dog beds are filled with polyester and cedar. Polyester offers softness, whilst the cedar helps to keep the bed smelling fresh, as well as acting as a natural insect repellent.
