Orthopaedic dog beds with memory foam or supportive padding are best for senior dogs. They help relieve pressure on joints, hips, and muscles.

Ideally, wash the cover every 1–2 weeks, or more often if your dog sheds heavily, drools, or tracks in dirt. Beds with removable, machine-washable covers are easiest to keep clean.
