luffy4688 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Hi, Just wondering, does anyone have any suggestions on where to purchase a good quality bed similar to the types I link below that's not like $60-80? Or is that the price I'm expected to pay for one? I'm located in SA, but happy to purchase one online. http://www.dogbedsgalore.com.au/product/DBO http://www.ozdogbeds.com.au/snooza-good-dog-buddy-bed-sorrento-collection.html Thank you!

BC Crazy Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Hi, I highly recommend the Snooza brand. Excellent quality. Will last many years if your dogs aren't destructive. You'll pay around the $60 to $ 80 mark for a smallish bed. I brought my 2 the Snooza Cuddler variety & they love them. They also are fully washable & you can buy replaceement / exchangable inserts & covers. Great Aussie product :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Aussie product :) I have a Royale branded one that I bought nearly 2 years ago for quite cheap, Bailey loves it. I'm not too sure if it's the quality or does it happen to all beds over time, but the sponge/cushion bit is now quite flat and doesn't offer as much comfort as it used to. Have you had any similar issues with the Snooza ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Crazy Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 No luffy. No flattening of bedding here. If that were to occur in years to come I'd just be able to buy some new filler or a new bottom cushion if need be :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very smart of them :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anngirl Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Another thumbs up for Snooza. I have 4 of their beds. Two large oblong, 1 large round and 1 large cuddler all in safari velboa. I have 2 black and a yellow lab and these beds do not show the dirt or the mountains of dog hair that is inevitable with labradors. Easy to wash and replacement bits and pieces available. Not the cheapest beds on the market but the quality speaks for itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loving my Oldies Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I am always aghast at the price of dogs beds, but if they last for years and you have big dogs, I suppose they must be worth it. I have only little dogs and ones that aren't destructive, so my experience is limited. However, the over-riding consideration for me is that every bit of them has to be machine washable LOL, beds that is. Try the El Cheapo places like The Reject Shop and others of their ilk. Perfectly satisfactory dog beds for a fraction of the price in pet shops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Crazy Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Oh yes I have spent big $$$ on beds. My guys aren't destructive but I couldn't find a bed my girl would actually sleep in. I went through 4 different types which are all in the ward robe No.5 Snooza Cuddler She loves it. I have to wake her up sometimes to get her out :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuannie Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Have you guys been to Costco? They have awesome large doggie beds for about $60. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentchild Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I've been really tempted to import a nice bed from Orvis in America........ the price tag and shipping is making me hesitate however. I've been hmm-ing and haa-ing for months over it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Crazy Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) SC, Snooza's are really lovely :p Edited May 12, 2014 by BC Crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ness Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 My two BC girls have Snooza cuddlers and one is at least 7 years old now and still in good condition. I think the newer models are a bit improved though as the one which I have which is about 6 years old isn't as flat as my older one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandiandwe Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Have you guys been to Costco? They have awesome large doggie beds for about $60. ^^^^^^^^^^^^. This. The favourite here is the memory foam bolster bed, but the others are also excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgieB Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I just bought a snooza D1000 from www.pawsforlife.com.au big savings on shipping if you're close enough to adelaide with $6.95 flat rate.They don't have a great range in the snooza beds, but they have other brands also.

luffy4688 Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) Thank you for the replies so far! Have you guys been to Costco? They have awesome large doggie beds for about $60. There's no Costco in Adelaide, yet anyway! I think one is opening in the near future. But still, not worth it for a single guy who lives alone like me to get a membership there I reckon. Snooza seems to be the way to go judging from the responses. I'm fine paying extra for a good quality, long lasting one. Still astounds me how expensive dog beds can get though!

lululove Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Lucy chewed and destroyed her snoozer bed as a puppy so I decided to buy a cheap one from amazon. She's just turned 2 and we can't go anywhere overnight without it. It gets washed monthly in the washing machine and has still kept its shape. It's has a soft wool like outer and she just loves it!! Shipping also wasn't too expensive as the bed is very light. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003BYQ0CE/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i03?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loving my Oldies Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Oh no! Lululove - you are a bad bad girl. I had to click. My dogs would love this: http://www.amazon.com/AKC-Casablanca-Round-Solid-Pet/dp/B00AV5KQZ8/ref=pd_sim_petsupplies_7?ie=UTF8&refRID=03DCWGR0RDY8FMRTZ9PK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually come to think of it, all of Lucy's beds are from amazon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incredibly soft & luxurious as well. I want to climb into them :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuannie Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Ok so the Costco bed lasted a week. Anyone recommend a longer lasting bed? Otherwise it will just blankets while we are away. Will a couple of fleecy blankets be ok as beds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
