Big Barker | Big Beds for Big Dogs

Big Beds for Big Dogs

Big Barker dog beds are one of the best beds you can get for your large dogs! If they have any kind of bone, hip, a joint problem or simply to save the big guy or gal from any trouble in the future as well then this bed is for you, well for them.

Ren is our 1-year-old Great Dane. And although he is considered “small” at 115lbs for his breed he’s definitely large! His breed is prone to hip-related issues as they age, and I wanted to make sure he was always protected especially when we are at work and he has to stay in the crate. The Extra Large fits perfectly in his crate!

I was so happy to find that Big Barker is made just for big dogs and it has all the orthopedic features that your dog needs! Plus they have a 10 Year Warranty on their products!

Features

Three Sizes

Big Barker beds come in three different sizes. We opted for the Extra Large since he is “smaller” and he fits on it perfect. All 3 sizes of the Big Barker can easily support a 300 lb dog if they have to.

Large (48 X 30 X 7)(in inches)
Extra Large (52 X 36 X 7)
Giant (60 X 48 X 7)

The bed has 3 layer memory foam, which is the unique feature of Big Barker. It acts as an orthopedic foam. For big dogs, it is likely to develop hip, joint and bone issues. These issues may turn into arthritis or dysplasia in the future. It is definitely crucial that you take care of your pup before any of these symptoms start to develop.

The bed consists of 7 inches of memory foam. The middle layer has 3″ support foam covered by 2″ of comfort foam on each side providing relaxation for aging arthritic dogs.

The Big Barker dog bed is available in 4 colors: charcoal gray, chocolate, burgundy, and khaki and all look aesthetically great no matter where in your home it is! I love that they offer different color options!

The beds’ top cover is made of 100% microfiber. It is designed to allow you to remove and wash it by opening the large zipper.

I highly recommend Big Barker for your gentle giant! And if you need a spot for your kid this will work too. Haha.

Forge Books sent me the newest W. Bruce Cameron books and is partnering with me for a giveaway!

Heartwarming Tails

Published just a week apart, the whole family can enjoy these captivating heartwarming tails by W. Bruce Cameron about what it really means to be a good dog, and the lengths people will go to help others.

This series is so good and truly means so much to me and definitely pulled at my heartstrings.

Ren’s First Birthday Pawty

July 8, 2019

Throwing The Perfect First Birthday Pawty

While some of my friends and family will roll their eyes reading this and I’m sure there were some guests at The Sneaky Beagle who thought I was ridiculous but I didn’t care. Ren’s first birthday was Saturday and I threw him a first birthday pawty. Yup, I’m that girl.

But before you roll your eyes and call me crazy, (I’m sure you probably already did.) I’d like to tell you the story of why he totally deserved it.

This guy came into our lives totally unexpected after we lost our 10-month-old Doak. We were all truly heartbroken and lost. As soon as I saw that adorable little split face I knew he was going to be mine, Jeff wasn’t ready but I convinced him. Now he is a spoiled daddy’s boy. He was just what our family needed after a horrible loss and he has brought so much joy and happiness to our life. That my friends is why he got a special 1st birthday party!

The Pawty

The Sneaky Beagle is a new local restaurant right around the corner from us that is dog-friendly. We have taken Ren a few times before and he loved the Crabby Dog Eats food on the dog menu. I figured why not have his party there?! The Sneaky Beagle was happy to accommodate us, 15 humans and 5 fur friends on the back patio.

The Cake

Crabby Dog Eats already works with The Sneaky Beagle to provide the food for the dog menu so I asked if they would want to make a cake for Ren, they said of course and they did not disappoint! All the dogs enjoyed the cake and wanted more!

It was a fun party and the pups had fun playing with each other!

Photoshoot

And last but not least a first birthday isn’t complete without a first birthday photo shoot! Thanks to Custom Printables NY for the customized dog birthday chalkboard for Ren! It was the perfect touch for his photos.

It was a perfect party for our perfect boy!

Thanks to everyone who came out to celebrate our big boy and a special thanks to The Sneaky Beagle and Crabby Dog Eats for the amazing accommodations and delicious cake!
