Hello all!

I am seriously thinking of buying a type of orthopedic bed for my dog, who has been experiencing some hind-end issues (stiffness, soreness) for 2 years or so now.
I am in the process of working with the PT Vet at our animal hospital, and she is getting anti-inflammatories which I really really really hope work(although it gives her terrible stomach upset and makes her very thirsty).

I would love to hear any feedback: the good the bad and the ugly on different types of orthopedic beds that you have used or are currently using. What do you have (memory foam?) and where did you buy it? I am seeing prices range from under $100 to well over $200....

TIA from me and Tasha! :D

I seem to be having my own little discussion here :p
Well, I went ahead and ordered this lovely product from Orvis, applying for their credit card to get free shipping and signing up for email notices to get $10 off. It was an expensive purchase, but more affordable with the double discounts.
I opted for this one after doing some online searches for orthopedic-type beds because of its construction; I really like how it is made with a foam core along with 2 layers of softer foam. Sounds sturdy and substantial.
Will see how it works for Tasha, and perhaps come back with a product review.
