At 9 years old, Gibbs the Border Collie, has a lifetime of energy and loyalty behind him, but also the daily challenge of living with hip dysplasia. For a long time, getting up from his bed was a struggle, and lying on his right hip brought him visible discomfort. His rest never truly felt restful.
That all changed when his owner discovered Barker Beds.
“I wanted to make sure when he rested he was as comfortable as possible,” his owner shared. After reading about the bed’s supportive height and thick padding, they decided to give it a try.
The result? Immediate comfort. Gibbs loved his Barker Bed from the start. At first, a familiar blanket helped with the transition. But it didn’t take long, now he sleeps directly on the waterproof cover, fully relaxed.
Four years later, his Barker Bed is still his go-to comfort zone. He can finally lie on his right side without discomfort, and his mobility has noticeably improved when he's up and about.
What stands out most to Gibbs’ owner is the durability and comfort that’s lasted through years of daily use. “A dog’s sleeping comfort affects their mobility when awake,” they added, a simple truth that makes all the difference for pets like Gibbs.
