What type of bed for your basset

Cindy · 12-10-2007, 10:05 AM

I have been looking at the Kuranda dog beds and wonder what type of bed you have for your bassets?

My bed of course, cus that's the way she came. Ruby was 2 1/2 yrs. and that was about 6 yrs. ago. I wouldn't have it any other way either. I should add that I am single. Ruby is great she slams her back up to mine, and if it isn't quite right, she heaves up her whole body and slams it again to get it just right. The night I brought her home I slept like a baby and have ever since. The new bed I got is a pillow top on a raised bed frame so, I have to lift her up on it. Guess I will keep my eye open for steps.

Once when an old boyfriend stayed with me for the night, I was just imagining how desperate Ruby was to go to bed. Finally click click on the hard wood floors and thunk, up on the bed. BF says "what the h--- is that as he boots her off the bed. I tell yah, nearly ripped my heart out. Should have booted him out, cus Ruby is still with me long afte BF is gone.

I have something similar and they are called Coolaroo® Pet Beds.

All my dogs love them.

Here is a pic of the style bed:

I bought all kinds of beds but the one they want is our bed. We finally gave up and got a king size bed so we could all fit.

I was going to order this for Elmer and Button with the help of the gift certificate that Elmer won by being Dog of The Month of the catalog In The Company of Dogs. (www.inthecompanyof dogs.com )

It looks so smooshy and comfy and dogs like to feel protected from the back, so the bolster would be great.

My kids have several beds:

Their baby crib mattress. Rusty loves it Stickers won't go near it??

Soft doggie bed covered with a sheet. They both like them.

Their favorite bed. Their pipe beds! They each have one inside and outside!

Having spent $5,000 on surgery for 2 herniated discs on Molly, I would NOT suggest Bassets jumping on and off human beds and couches. That said, Foster and Smith (albeit expensive), I think has the best dog beds on the market. I only order beds from them. All other doggy products (treats, supplements, meds, toys, etc.) can be ordered much cheaper from other purveyors. Watch out for your Bassets backs, PLEASE!! Take care, Belinda.

Our Ruby has large fluffy beds which I get at Walmart or Target. The covers come off to be washed weekly. She has two; one in our bedroom and one in family room.

I agree the jumping on and off the bed was too hard on my hounds that's why we invested in a set of dog stairs that go at the end of the bed. The best thing we ever did, they use them all the time, much easier on their backs and mine, no more trying to lift them up.

Bogie Carter has several beds.

Nothing but the "best" for this non-spoiled Basset.

The pipe bed for outside sunning.

The plaid round bed from Cabelas in the den. We did add a round piece of egg grate foam
to their stuffing.

"Bogie's thoughts on being crated after his ACL surgery." Amazingly he does love his crate,even
after many days of being confined in it after his two rock surgeries and his ACL surgery. It is
by the kitchen and patio doors. He often just goes and naps in it. It has a Wal Mart rectangle bed
that we added a piece of egg crate foam too.

In the RV when traveling he gets the comfy couch/bed intended for human use. He uses a small ramp
to get up and down. He loves it there because he can see out.
