Barker Beds was founded out of frustration with flimsy, unsupportive dog beds—and the empty claims of other beds saying they made a difference in a dog’s life. We knew dogs deserved better, so we partnered with top foam engineers to create a unique 3-stage foam system designed to deliver real orthopedic support and lasting comfort for dogs of all sizes.
A clinical study proved that our beds make a measurable difference in dogs’ quality of life, making Barker Beds the only clinically proven dog bed on the market. Our mission is simple: to give dogs the comfort they deserve, help them age and heal more comfortably, and support rescues along the way. Because at Barker Beds, we’re not just building better beds—we’re helping dogs live better lives.

Frequently Asked Questions
What you need to know for the best Barker Beds experience.
What does my discount code include?
Your patient discount code includes 10% off all Barker Beds, dog toys, and Link devices (No wraps).
What size dog bed should I get?
To choose the right Barker Bed size and style, consider your dog’s weight, sleeping habits, and available space. For large breeds, select the larger sizes to ensure full body support. Measure your dog when stretched out to confirm the bed will fit comfortably. It’s recommended to get a bed 3-4 inches larger than your dog to ensure maximum comfort. Styles like the Headrest Edition offer a built-in pillow for dogs that enjoy head support, while the Sleek Edition is ideal for those who like a flatter surface. Matching the bed’s dimensions to your space and your dog’s preferences will ensure maximum comfort and durability.
If you are unsure what size bed would be best, please look at our Size Guide for more information.
