Whether you’re raising a dog as a companion or as a watchdog, there are some essential tools and furniture you should get for him – a bed is one of them.
I won’t emphasise much on the benefits of having a bed, but let’s look into one of the dog beds in the market – Kuranda dog beds.
Kuranda elevated dog bed is a cot-style indestructible dog bed built from a strong aluminium frame and a tensioned sleeping surface.
Think of helping your dogs from cold hard floors, your dogs getting on your couch every time, then, you need to get a small, raised platform to keep them off the floor.
There are 3 most important factors when it comes to dog beds – comfort, durability, and maintenance, and Kuranda dog beds feature all these.
Types of Kuranda Dog Beds
Kuranda produces a variety of dog beds to suit different dogs and dog parents’ needs.
Kuranda Elevated dog bed
The common or standard one is the Kuranda elevated almond PVC dog bed and walnut PVC dog.
This is good for small and medium-sized dogs or breeds, indoor pets, and light chewers.
Kuranda chew-proof aluminium bed
For chewers and destructive dogs, the Kuranda chew-proof beds that are built with anodised aluminium frames and heavy-duty Textilene/vinyl sleeping area are a good fit.
This indestructible dog bed is also built for outdoor use and comfort, and comes with a 1-year warranty that promises replacement or repair of the frame and woven fabrics against damage under normal use.
Shelters love to use Kuranda chew-proof beds because they last longer than pillow beds, and they are built for high resistance against scratches and chewing.
Kuranda crate bed
Another one is the crate-sized option. This is good if you have a dog and a cat in your apartment.
Popular ones are walnut PVC crates and slimline crates.
Kuranda also design walnut PVC and aluminium dog bunk beds and crates.
Kuranda orthopaedic dog bed
The Kuranda orthopaedic dog bed is built for joint support. It’s designed with a taut surface rather than loose fill.
This is particularly suitable for seniors, dogs that need joint care, or those with hip or joint pain.
Once you get the one that meets your dog’s needs, put the bed in a location your dog is already fond of lying, and set it up according to your dog’s height.
If you are getting the bed for outdoor use, don’t forget to go for the one built with anodised frame and stainless hardware, and keep it under a shed against extreme weather.
Motivate your dog to explore the new bed by offering treats if he does not want to use it easily.
How to clean Kuranda dog beds?
Kuranda beds have replaceable parts, and are easy to clean and maintain.
For stains, you can clean the spot with warm, soapy water and a towel without dismantling the bed.
For heavier grime, you can hose the fully assembled bed outdoors with any cleaning agent and rinse thoroughly before you air-dry.
If your Kuranda bed uses indoor vinyl and textilene fabrics, you can use bleach in your cleaning, but if it uses Cordura or ballistic fabrics, you should avoid strong chemicals so your bed doesn’t become saggy easily.
Pros and cons of Kuranda dog beds
Some of the advantages are durability, ease of washing, orthopaedic support, and replaceable parts.
They are designed for both indoor and outdoor use in many models, and are backed by a one-year warranty.
For dog owners dealing with drool, mud, fur, or chewers, Kuranda often reduces the time and money spent replacing shredded soft beds.
While Kuranda taut beds are good for many dogs, they may not be suitable for dogs that prefer sinking into a plush pillow rather than a firm surface.
If you have a companion that loves to curl like cats, then memory-foam or plush doughnut beds are a good fit.
You can further make your dog happy and allow him to self-soothe by burrowing.
Kuranda is a bit pricey compared to standard pillow beds, but when you consider the shelf life of these beds, it’s cheaper in the long run.
Do vets recommend Kuranda?
Kuranda’s orthopaedic bed is often recommended by vets because the tensioned, elevated sleep surface distributes weight evenly and prevents pressure points and elbow calluses that form when dogs rest on hard floors or sagging pillows.
The fabric is stretched tight across a rigid frame which keeps your dog at a neutral posture and reduces localised pressure on joints.
Veterinarians usually suggest raised, taut-surface beds for dogs with arthritis or hip problems.
However, if your dog is not large in size, and needs thick cushioning, an orthopaedic dog bed with high-fill memory foam may be preferred.
Conclusion
Shelters, dog trainers, and parents that raise heavy chewers often recommend Kuranda dog beds because the design trades soft cushioning for firm, even support and long-term durability.
If you want more cushioning, Kuranda sells pads that fit the frame, and if a part is damaged, you can easily replace it.
All these bed families are built for comfort, and durability, and each product line comes in different sizes and weights.
There are small, medium, large, extra-large, and XX-large sizes for different dog’ weights.
To get the right bed size, measure your canine friend from nose to tail and compare it to Kuranda’s size chart.
