Is an orthopedic bed only good for older dogs?Updated 10 months ago

An orthopedic bed is great for dogs of all ages! For big dogs and breeds prone to hip or joint problems later in life, it is best to provide them with full support from a young age to help prevent or delay the onset of those issues. Some exceptions do apply—toy sized breeds and any adult dogs under twenty pounds may not weigh enough to make an impression in the foam, so they may find the pillow style more comfortable. Dogs that like to sink down and  nestle into their bedding might also find the orthopedic bed less appealing.
