I’m looking for a quality bed, maybe with high sides that gives good support. We have a stream in the back yard that the dogs live in in the summer so the bed has to be waterproof and have a removeable outer cover for washing. I’ve been to LL Bean and Orvis and Gander Mountain and Petco and Petsmart and nothing fits the bill. I want to spend in the 0-0 range. Any ideas? Thanks – Matt

    http://www.ohmydogsupplies.com has some pretty large dog beds that are actually under the price range that you are willing to spend, but are great quality. The giant orthopedic bed they carry is a massive 84"x48", which would probably be large enough for both of your dogs, yet still be comfortable.

    This is where I shop for my Danes.

    Buy a twin sized mattress and the plastic cover they use for kids who wet the bed. Honestly, for dogs that big I’d go for a full sized mattress.

    It also depends on how they like to lay. My dogs like to curl up into tiny balls so even though they’re 95 and 85 pounds, they don’t take up a lot of space…

    Alternatively…you could always make one yourself

    Good luck. I have a 95 pound (no fat, very lean and solid) 4 year old black male lab (AKC, not a mix). He doesn’t fit any pet beds I have found.

    For two… you might want to get them a toddler bed, or their own full sized sofa! LOL

    It’s a challenge finding dog beds for big dogs. I’d go to a place that sells foam and buy a piece of foam the right size. These are heavy dogs and could benefit from a firm bed especially as they get older. You can choose the thickness and density of foam to suit the weight of the dogs, and most foam places will sew a cover for it, you can choose whatever material you like. Get something waterproof to cover the foam, then use old blankets on top which can be tossed in the washer.

    Have you considered getting a beat-up old couch or loveseat? If someone can sew at all, you could make a waterproof slipcover for it. Doesn’t need to look fabulous. I used to have a very large dog and he loved his old armchair. He could curl up tight in it or let his head and legs sprawl out.

    I made a sort of dog chair for my dog out of 1×4, low to the ground but still off it so she’d be a bit warmer. That way you can put sides on it, and build it so the foam mattress won’t slide out. A baby crib mattress might be about the right size for your guys.

    Easiest way, make it yourself. With my husky I couldn’t find anything big enough that wasn’t 75 bucks. So I bought some duck cloth ( it’s a canvas like cloth, but sturdier) a really big zipper and made it. It ended up being either 3 X 3 or 4 X4, either was a big bed.
