Orthopaedic Benefits
Why are Doctor Bark dog cushions truly orthopaedic resting surfaces?
A healthy sleep is the foundation of wellbeing – for humans and dogs alike.
Orthopaedic surfaces distribute body weight evenly, reduce pressure points and remain perfectly supportive even after years of use.
The spine stays aligned, muscles relax, and your dog can sink into deep, restorative rest.
The secret lies in the specially developed Doctor Bark Back-to-Shape inner filling.
The siliconised, spherical filling fibres act like thousands of tiny springs – elastic, resilient and supportive.
The interwoven fibres respond flexibly to every movement, much like the surface of water,
ensuring gentle and even pressure distribution across the entire cushion.
Ordinary dog cushions quickly lose their support.
The spine begins to sag, joints press against the floor, and pressure points form – often leading to long-term back or joint issues.
An orthopaedic resting surface, on the other hand, relieves pressure, promotes circulation, relaxes muscles and can significantly reduce discomfort.
At a glance:
- Even pressure distribution and lasting support
- Relieves muscles, promotes circulation, reduces pain
- Retains shape and firmness – even with daily use
- Encourages regeneration and restful sleep
Orthopaedic dog cushions are not only recommended for dogs with joint issues,
but also as a preventive measure – just as we humans benefit from a supportive mattress.
Our Doctor Bark dog cushions combine comfort, functionality and durability in perfect harmony.
For dogs who prefer the security of raised sides, we recommend the Doctor Bark Bed with removable blanket –
or, for dogs with orthopaedic conditions, the Doctor Bark Insert Cushion with enhanced pressure relief.
Care for lasting comfort
To ensure your dog enjoys long-term comfort,
the cushion should be shaken and turned regularly – just like your own mattress.
This keeps the filling light, elastic and hygienic.
Please also follow our washing instructions to preserve the product’s high quality.
