"I absolutely love the Big Barker bed because of my dog Grady. He has had joint problems his entire life, unfortunately. He was injured as a puppy and it's just been a lifelong battle for us. I can tell you that within a couple of days of him laying on this bed, he had a lot more energy. Now that he's been using it, we're regularly, he's now able to run all over the backyard. So trust me, get yourself a Big Barker bed and you won't regret it."

"Many pet parents don’t realize that their dog’s bed has a tremendous impact on the dog’s quality of life. Thin, flimsy, flat beds cause pressure points that hurt tender joints making it hard to rest and harder to sleep soundly. Big Barker beds are specifically designed to eliminate pressure points and reduce pain, even in animals without any previously diagnosed joint issues."
