Orthopedic Dog Beds

To ensure your dog enjoys a long, healthy, and comfortable life, a good, supportive bed is a must. Orthopedic beds are specifically engineered for this purpose, relying on high-quality foam to provide dense, dependable support. These mattresses conform to the shape of your dog’s body, distributing your dog’s weight across the bed to relieve pain and pressure on their joints, hips, and spine.

Unlike cheap imitations, which use lightweight batting or flimsy egg crate foam to provide soft and short-lived support, K9 Ballistics orthopedic beds are made to last. Our mattresses come in two options: solid foam and shredded foam. Solid form provides even, stable, and firm support that is ideal for older dogs and heavy breeds, while shredded foam provides softer support with a bit of give that allows dogs to sink down into it like a pillow. Regardless of type, the USA-made foam won’t crush flat or deform under even the heaviest of loads, and it comes backed by a 10 Year Won’t Flatten Warranty. The durable ripstop ballistic cover also provides protection from everyday wear and tear, dirt, water spills, odors, and dog nails. Whether your pup is still growing into their body or entering their golden years, these beds will provide long-term comfort and support that you can rely on.

K9 Ballistics Orthopedic Beds come in the following styles:

Crate

The Tough Ripstop Orthopedic Dog Crate Bed provides the best support and comfort for crate use, and is an excellent option for dogs that have to spend a long time crated, as well as any big breeds or older pups. It boasts a firm, solid-foam style mattress, covered by a durable ripstop ballistic cover with hidden zipper closure and anchor points at each corner so that the bed can be fixed to the bottom of the crate. While it is not fully chew proof, it can withstand mild to moderate chewing habits.

Rectangle

Our Tough Ripstop Rectangle Orthopedic Dog Bed offers dogs 5” of lasting support. Available in both solid foam and shredded foam options to match your pup's comfort preferences, it can be used both indoors as well as outside. The flat rectangle shape makes it a great option for dogs that love to stretch or sprawl out while sleeping. It has a hidden zipper closure on the underside and holds up well against both scratching and mild chewing.

Round

Our Tough Ripstop Round Orthopedic Dog Bed provides all the same comfort as a rectangle bed, but the rounded shape eliminates a major chewing target—corners. While no Tough Ripstop bed is fully chew proof or recommended for a heavy, dedicated chewer, this particular bed is our strongest non-armored option for a more destructively inclined pup. In addition to eliminating a major vulnerability, the shape of the bed also makes it ideal for dogs that love to curl up while sleeping. This style is available exclusively in shredded foam. 

Rectangle Bolster

The Tough Ripstop Rectangle Bolster Orthopedic Dog Bed features a rectangular mattress of orthopedic foam, along with a raised bolster wall along the back and sides of the bed that’s filled with shredded foam. Like the rectangle bed, it is available in both shredded foam (for softer comfort) and solid foam (for firm, stable support). This bed is very popular for its versatility—dogs can curl up, lean against the bolster, or prop their head or feet up as they sleep. With the larger sizes, they also have the option to sprawl out between the bolsters. However, due to the extra edges and corners that the bolster walls create, this bed is best suited for dogs that chew more mildly or only on occasion.

Oval & Round Bolster

With the Tough Ripstop Oval Bolster Orthopedic Dog Bed and Tough Ripstop Round Bolster Orthopedic Dog Bed, the bottom cushion is made from shredded orthopedic foam while the sewn-in bolsters are filled with densely-packed polyester fiberfill. The oval option features an open front for easy access into and out of the bed, while the round version is completely enclosed to provide more of a den effect. These beds are perfect for dogs that like to snuggle down into a den or other enclosed space. 

Giant

Our Tough Ripstop Giant 7” Orthopedic Dog Bed is specially built for the biggest, heaviest dogs. This extra-dense mattress is a whopping 7” thick and made exclusively from solid foam, eliminating any chance at all of your gentle giant ever feeling the floor. It has a raised bolster of shredded foam on one end to lean against or prop a head on, so your dog can curl or sprawl as much as they want. Due to its extra-firm feel, this bed works best for dogs that weigh over 80 lbs.
