For Athena and Jackson, comfort isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity. At 12.5 years old, Athena, a wise and loyal German Shepherd, is dealing with arthritis in her back legs and hips.
Jackson, her younger brother, a strong and loving German Shepherd/Doberman mix, is eight and still managing sensitive elbows from years of laying on hard surfaces before he found his forever home.
These two pups had always enjoyed the comfort of "orthopedic" beds scattered around the house but as time went on, those beds aged and the company that made them stopped production. It was time for an upgrade, and not just any upgrade. Their family began researching high-quality alternatives that were worthy of these two deserving dogs. That’s when they discovered Barker Beds.
Right away, the quality stood out. The design, the thoughtful materials, and the glowing reviews made it an easy decision. This wasn’t just about replacing a bed, it was about investing in better sleep, better support, and better days for Athena and Jackson.
Since the switch, both dogs have fully embraced their new Barker Bed. Jackson, weighing around 110 pounds, finally has enough space to stretch out rather than curling into a tight ball. Athena finds relief in the thick, supportive foam that cushions her joints, especially during those warm, sunny afternoons when the bed becomes her favorite sunbathing spot by the back door.
And it’s not just about size or softness. The fabric of the cover keeps things cool, even in the summer heat, so both dogs can nap comfortably year-round. Within just a couple of days, the Barker Bed became the go-to resting spot, and a permanent favorite.
Now, six months later, the durability and comfort are still going strong. The bed is well constructed, and delivery was fast and seamless. Their family knows they made the right choice!
