[Dailydrool] Dog beds

[Esther Strom]

Basil has one of the Boots and Barkley beds from Target and loves it. They
are fully washable, which helps a lot as he has some control issues and I
hate having to keep him in a belly band all night. We have this one:

Good quality, and much less expensive than the ones of the same size at
PetSmart. Just an FYI, though - the reason they're washable is because
they're filled with polyester fiber (i.e. quilt batting) rather than foam,
so they're not super-supportive if your dog needs that.
