    orthopedic dog beds - anyone?

    I'm looking for an orthopedic bed for Cilek. She spends more time in her bed and since she has arthritis I want to make her comfortable.
    Do you have any suggestions?
    They are not sold in Turkey but amazon ships.

    Not specifically for a particular bed, but my oldsters preferred memory foam to the egg crate orthopedics .... we had several different kinds scattered all over the house.

    Since we're not sure what you can get, we have both egg crate and memory foam. They don't always choose to lie on a bed but when they do, mine seem to prefer memory foam also.

    Someone recommended this one a while back with others agreeing. It looks like a nice bed and also looks like Amazon carries it.

    Can you get ahold of a thick piece of foam? Four inches or so would do. Making a removable cover is not difficult at all.

    There are some who use baby crib mattresses but they may be a little too firm. My guys love their ortho beds, both all foam and egg crate foam.

    Good idea, I will search for it.
    For now, I gave her my camping air mattress because her original bed is very soft, regular dog bed.

    I recently became a fan of Orvis dog beds. I have bought two in the last year both memory foam. Best quality beds I have found but they are quite pricey. Great customer service though.

    I also love their water trapper mats for under the dog food/water bowls. Puppy recently spilled a very large bowl of water in the kitchen and the mat soaked the entire thing up! https://www.orvis.com/dog-beds
