Review of Precision Pet SnooZZY Cozy Comforter 3000 Pet Bed

Precision Pet SnooZZY Cozy Comforter 3000 Pet BedThis product is not really a dog bed or what my dogs would call "cozy" It would be best used as a crate pad for short-term crating or as a bed only for dogs under 30lbs. Heavier dogs need more depth to their bed. For dogs over 30lbs if this bed were used on top of carpeting that has carpet padding below, that would be adequate for most dogs up to 90lbs, but still isn't ideal. Used on a wood/tile floor this bed does now allow your pet's hip/shoulder joints to sink in.

I have purchases dozend of pet beds for my rescue over the years. I can't for the life of me, figure out why this one is so pricy. One night we had both dogs in the same room and only one bed available. We took out an old comforter and folded it 4 ways. Our 60lb and 70lb dogs competed for the folded comforter and ignored the "cozy comforter" unless it was the only option (and that was on a carpeted floor). The best beds for large dogs will have at least a thin layer of firm foam and/or a thick layer of soft foam. A layer of Poly-fill above the foam allows for them to snuggle in and nest while that layer of foam keeps bones from pushing through to a too-firm surface (your floor). Poly-fill alone tends to shift leaving spots that don't provide enough cushion. I haven't yet found a bed that is perfect for large dogs but is under $75, so I just make my own. You can do this too. Just buy a low-cost or high-end a poly-fill dog bed that has the poly-fill in a liner. Remove a little of the stuffing (save for later if the bed goes flat over time). Cut to size and insert 1-3 layers (1 layer for dogs up to 50lbs, 2 layers for dogs up to 100, 3 layers for giant dogs) of Target 2" mattress-pad foam into the outer liner and then insert the liner with poly-fill.The pad here is 4" so it is adequate for large dogs but over-kill for those under 50lbs.EggCrate Foam Mattress Pad - Thickness 4 inches
