[nagdu] a new dog bed

[National Association of Guide Dog Users]

Julie,
	First of all, what is "a normal size dog"? (grin) I am pretty sure
it's not Dogzilla!
	Like you, we use old comforters as dog beds. We inherited an actual
dog bed once and, like you, found it rather lumpy after washing. Dogzilla
prefers the bare floor, while Harmony - our Vizsla - is picky about his bed.
The Goldador, on the other hand, lays claim to the human bed!

I use old comforters for crate cushions.  Monty's crate is kinda huge.  A
twin sized comforter folded in fourths fits perfectly in there.  They are
super cheap to find at garage sales or thrift stores, if you don't have kids
who have outgrown Batman. They wash up extremely easily.

I have purchased dog beds/cushions in the past.  I think they are pricey for
what you get.  The fabrics tend to be hair magnets.  They are difficult to
wash and end up lumpy or misshapen after washing.  Maybe there's something
awesome out there that I'm just missing.  I don't know.

If you are into sewing, you could even make a cover/pillow case for the
comforter so it would keep a nice shape.  Or if you have a normal sized dog
perhaps they sell a pillow case that would be big enough?  I don't know,
I've never checked out this option.

HTH
Julie

Hello,

This is a subject change.  I was given a dog bed some time ago.  You could
remove the cover to wash it, but you couldn't wash the inside filling.  I
was looking for a new bed, and none of them would let you wash the inside.
Felix doesn't get sick very often but has a couple of times and it goes
through into the filling.  Does anyone have suggestions for a washable dog
bed?  Thanks.
Mary
