Aging Pet Beds & Bedding

Heated Pet Beds

Heated pet beds are ideal for older dogs and cats that need a little extra help staying warm. While it is particularly important during chilly days and cold nights, it can be critical in air-conditioned homes when your pet is not able to warm themselves up.

Orthopedic Pet Beds

While some pets can curl up and nap or sleep anywhere, when pets age, getting up and down can be a challenge and snuggling in for a comfortable sleep even more so. Pet beds designed with more structure and memory are fantastic choices to help your pet snuggle in.

Larger breed dogs often suffer from arthritis long before it is known to anyone but your pup. They compensate by the way they walk, curl up and adjust to find a comfortable sleeping position. Choosing the right dog bed as your dog ages is really important. Choose the right size, design and material for your pet’s needs.

Choose an elevated pet bed frame with an orthopedic insert to give your pup a comfortable bed that is elevated from a cold floor. You choose the frame and pick the best mattress for your pup. For a complete selection of Furhaven Pet Cushions.

When choosing pet supplies for aging dogs and cats, you want to always choose washable options. You will find some pet beds are fully washable, while others have removable covers, liners and cushions. For larger dog breeds you may want to wash them at a local laundry mat with large capacity washers and dryers to ensure they are washed properly and you don’t damage your machines.

Waterproof, Washable and Urine Proof Pet Blankets

Our older pets have accidents and often don’t even realize they are doing it. Make their life better and your life easier with a stash of washable pet blankets that are quick and easy to care for and protect your furniture, bedding, and flooring.

Aging Pup & Calming Pet Toys

Transition playful dogs into toys that are more their speed. Chew toys with softer rubber, calming toys, licking toys and even a faux fur dog tail ball that is a lot easier on elderly pup’s teeth, but keeps them playing as much as they can.

Pet Memorial Gifts

Losing a pet is one of the hardest events pet-lovers must endure. While each pet owner must walk through the process in their own way, it is always good to know someone cares. Finding ways to memorialize our special pets, keep a part of them with us or share the grief is an important part of the process and truly helps us get through it. While we don’t ever forget, we move forward.

Wind Chimes are a wonderful pet memorial gift that are a wonderful reminder when the chimes sound as the wind breezes through them.

A framed photo is a very kind gift to give to a coworker, friend or yourself who is experiencing the loss of a dog. As time goes by the photo will have deeper and deeper meaning and provide solace.

“No Dog Should Die Alone” was the attention-grabbing — and heart-stirring — headline of journalist Laura T. Coffey’s TODAY show website story about photographer Lori Fusaro’s work with senior shelter pets. While generally calm, easy, and already house-trained, these animals often represent the highest-risk population at shelters. With gorgeous, joyful photographs and sweet, funny, true tales of “old dogs learning new tricks,” Coffey and Fusaro show that adopting a senior can be even more rewarding than choosing a younger dog. They may be slower moving and a tad less exuberant than puppies, but these pooches prove that adopting a senior brings immeasurable joy, earnest devotion, and unconditional love.

As your dog, cat or house of pets begins to age, it may be time to make some changes to make life with pets and people calm and compassionate. Simple changes can dramatically make life easier for your pets and give you peace of mind.
