Will this topper give pressure relief for 75 - 90 lb dogs? They are up in age and arthrits is a problem. Dogs need comfort too.

I don't have dogs, but it does give pressure relief to me, especially the hips and I weigh a bit more than your dog, so I think it would be a benefit.

I agree that dogs need comfort too. I have three dogs and my largest is 60 lbs. she has bad joints. I have cut up an old topper into squares and put a blanket over it for her. It was a popular bed with all three of my dogs. Only problem is she's a chewer, even at 8 years old, so she pawed the blanket back and chewed apart the topper. If your dog isn't a chewer I think it would appreciate the topper.

I agree dogs need comfort to. I have a huskie that is 13 so i understand how you feel. I got laughed at when I bought her one of the memory foam. I even got her the 3" thick one since there is no mattress under her. So my answer is yes. :)

If your dog is not steady on their feet, maybe not. We have a 14 year old arthritic dog who could walk on it but his problem was the 7" thickness. He likes to roll on his bed and he rolled off which stunned him and he will not get back on the bed. I bought two of these beds. Our Golden Retriever who is 10 had no problem standing on it and likes her bed. It's very well made and an attractive bed. I think it would be good for our arthritic dog if we could get him back on it. I haven't had the beds long enough to comment on the cover but I've had other beds with this type of cover and they held up very well with repeated washings.

I have two different size dogs. It seem to work better for my dog who weighs about 60lbs my other dog who weighs about 80lbs it wouldn't stop her. But I think also matters how old your dog is. If you start them as a puppy they respond better than being an older dog

My dogs are 54 and 62 lbs. and it works fine. Even if they don't curl up in a ball they like to put their heads on the edge. I have the 2 side by side with a quilt covering them to make it a little softer.

I have to say this seat cushion has helped me a ton. I have two discs protrusions and it does relieve the pressure on my spine. I can't say for sure from a size prospective....I'm 5'5" and weigh about 117 lbs.....I say its worth a shot!

I have a 15 pound dog that fits in this, but I have to put a wedge shaped foam in the bottom to make him comfortable. The basket is too small for him to curl up in, so he can't lie down. But with the wedge foam, he lies down on that and keeps his head above the basket rim.

The key word is "help". Yes, it helps, but only with frequent repositioning of the bed's occupant. My mother, who has back problems and fragile skin, finds it very comfortable. I, however, see a deep sag in the gel foam topper even when the bed goes unoccupied for several hours at a stretch. I have turned the pad over, and end for end, but the sag remains. Still, my mother enjoys it greatly and we have seen no bed sores.

Almost a year? :( Poor thing. If you leave it slightly deflated they can lay more comfortably. Its it's fully inflated its hard for them to put their head down unless they have pillows or blankets to support them. I found that with mine almost half deflated my dog was pretty comfortable and still couldn't reach her back leg. ConTech also has a more traditional cone but it's made with material and not plastic so it's more comfortable. Maybe look into that?

i have 2 dogs that are about 50 pounds each that could share the pad no problem. 100 pound dogs would have to cuddle close to each other. No way mine if they weighed 100 would do it because they like their own space. Sorry not a simple yes or no answer.

Personally I would not get it for dogs under 20 lbs because of the heavy metal square that keeps it together. If you are okay with the metal square, I would do a small for the bichon and medium for the rat terrier. My mother has an 18 lb. rat terrier and did not like the harness because of the metal square. You can't see it in the picture, but it sits on their back where it all comes together. I think it is a good harness for dogs over 20 lbs. I hope that helps.

I do not use the one I bought. In fact I have it set aside to donate to a local Alzheimer's facility for their annual yard sale. I bought it for a 20 year old 7 pound cast. If is small and hard as a rock. I subsequently bought a heated bed for her. I doubt it would provide much comfort for a large dog. Hope is helps.

Probably not - here are the specifics on the product: For dogs 65 to 85 pounds with 29 to 37 inch chest- The drug-free way to soothe dog anxiety- Activates pressure points- Four-way lightweight, breathable, stretch fabric provides just the right amount of pressure- Like humans, pets have pressure points that, when activated, help calm even the most anxious dogs- Calms and soothes crate, noise and separation anxiety, general nervousness, constant barking and travel anxiety and sickness- Adjustable custom fit- Acts as a cooling garment when wet- L x W x H: 5-5 x 3-25 x 9-25

I would recommend it if it is a muscle tissue strain or related to that nature. It would be soothing for dog.

I used the chair for my small welsh corgi who weighed about 18-20 lbs and it fit her fine. Unfortunately,she passed away last November. It took her awhile to get used to it, but be persistent, it so enhances their mobility once they adjust to it.

I have Golder Ret (85 lbs) and the fabric couldn't hold him. The rip happened in the fabric not the switches. So the fabric is not designed for large dogs. If your dog is 100lbs then this is not for you

It's quite, quite puffy; I would have liked a clearer distinction between bolster and bed, though that has improved as the filling has settled. I've washed it 2x in the months I've had it with no diminution in loft. Call it 5-6" for the bed & 8" at the outside of the bolster. The bed is not super dense and so does compress. My 65 lb greyhound likes it well enough but It would not be a good choice for a heavier arthritic dog. My 2 Italian greyhounds love it.

I actually got the extra large bed for my 75 pound boy instead of the large as I stated in the review. It is just right for him to stretch out and put his head on the edge. I would do the large for a 50# dog. We really like the bed; nicely made and very cushy.
