<p dir="ltr">Depending on how long your basset ' s legs are and how much arthritis is in those legs, the really cushy beds can be impossible for them to get onto. My Elwood ATB had those ultra short legs. Plus, his little legs were riddled with arthritis there is no way he could get up on our big bed with the 4 inch egg crate pad. I found that these beds from Walmart were the best. They used to be $20. I think they have gone up 5-10 bucks. Anyway, they are cut up at the front with built up sides. He LOVED them. I love them because the whole thing will fit in my washer and dryer. Depending on the time of year, it gets washed every week or two. Well sometimes more often. Bugsey is back to regurgitating in the mornings. When he does it in the bed, I wash it. I have three of them and I rotate them. They are a real popular place when one doesn't feel well, or for having a good chew on a bone. The sides help stabilize the nylabone.<br>
