After years of searching for the best dog bed for my big dog, I have finally found “the one!” Big Barker is the industry leader in beds specifically for large dogs. Big Barker makes beds designed to provide support and comfort to big dogs (and their joints). Eric Shannon, Big Barker’s Founder and President started the company almost ten years ago when his dog, Hank, was diagnosed with Hip Dysplasia. At the time, there was no bed on the market that was specifically geared to big (and REALLY big) dogs. Finding good quality stuff for a Beagle? Easy. For a Mastiff? Not so easy. Especially when it came to dog beds! Eric saw a need and set out to make a superior dog bed made to serve the special support needs of big dogs!
What Makes a Big Barker Different from Other Beds?
The Big Barker bed consists of seven inches of triple-layer OrthoMedic foam that support the weight of your dog. Normal polyfill dog beds collapse and create pressure on the joints of the dog, whereas the Big Barker wraps around the dogs joints protecting them from the hard floor.
Additionally, the Big Barker bed is made right here in the USA. Manufactured in Reading, PA, they only use the highest quality materials for your dog to sleep on. No dangerous, cheap Polyfill. No covers that will rip easily. No zippers that will break.
Clinically Proven
Did you know? Beyond the highest quality materials, Big Barker is the ONLY dog bed on the market clinically proven to improve the quality of your dog’s life. In a clinical study conducted by the University of Pennsylvania, large dog owners reported that in just twenty-eight days, they saw significant reductions in joint pain and stiffness and significant improvements in joint function, gait, and quality of life. The data also suggests that the beds improved nighttime restfulness in large dogs with joint issues such as arthritis or hip dysplasia.

Big Barker also has a TEN-YEAR no-flatten warranty. The beds are guaranteed to maintain at least 90% of its shape for 10 years or it will be replaced free of charge. The beds also come with a one year trial, so you can return your bed for a full refund if you are not satisfied. If you decide on Day 364 that you would like to send your bed back, you can return your order to the warehouse for a full refund or exchange. Customers in the Continental US do not have to pay for domestic return shipping. So, if for whatever reason you’re not thrilled or 100% satisfied with your order, you can contact the Big Barker Customer Service team and they will send you a prepaid UPS shipping label. There are also no special catches or exceptions, meaning your bed can come back with some hair or drool marks – they don’t expect the bed to come back in perfect shape!
It is important to note that this return policy is only valid for purchases made directly through the Big Barker website. Having a one year trial and ten year warranty make the Big Barker a no-risk purchase!
Machine Washable
Once you have your Big Barker and your dog falls in love, it may become a little dirty. Luckily, the Big Barker bed is machine washable. Just easily remove the cover with the three-sided 150 in. zipper and pop it in the washing machine! Just like that, your Big Barker is new again with no shrinking. You can throw it in the wash over 1000 times and they guarantee it won’t shrink more than a millimeter!
Big Barker also makes a special cover, similar to a fitted sheet, called the Quick-Fit Cover. The Quick Fit makes cleaning your Big Barker easier than ever. Simply slide the cover over your bed, remove it when you are done, and throw in the wash on cold, tumble dry. It doesn’t get much easier than that!

The Sleek Edition bed is built for maximum sprawl space. Great for long legged dogs that like to stretch, or for sharing with multiple dogs at once.
The Headrest Edition is the best of both worlds. It has a large sleeping surface and also the single bolster for dogs to lean against or lay their heads on.
The Sofa Edition is made for dogs that like to sleep with support on all sides. Some dogs feel more protected when their bed has raised sides (like a den!) to provide a sense of safety.
Beyond the traditional7” Orthopedic Big Barker bed, they also offer specialty beds for SUV’s, small dogs, and crates:
The Backseat Barker: SUV Edition is perfect for any trip in the car. The bumps and turns of the road can be hard on your pup’s joints. Luckily, this specially designed SUV bed provides your dog with the support they need. It is made of the same Big Barker OrthoMedic foam, with side “wings” to prevent scratching or damage to your vehicle.
The Barker Junior is specially made to support the small dog in your family. Available in three sizes, Small, Medium, and Large, the Barker Junior is perfect for dogs under 50 pounds!
The Orthopedic Crate Pad is a one-of-a-kind bed using the same premium American-made orthopedic foam you’ll find in their top, 5-star rated Big Barker dog beds. The crate pad comes in five sizes ranging from Small to XXL (all crate pads are made to fit in the standard crate sizes). The Crate Pad is specifically made to deeply cushion your dog’s elbows, hips and pressure points from the hard metal and plastic below, so they do not feel the hard surface of the crate floor.
Big Barker also offers waterproof liners for all beds, in case your dog has a history of bladder issues or is not fully house trained. The liner is 100% waterproof and made in the USA with the same material found in hospital beds around the country. Even better, it is very quiet and doesn’t make a lot of noise when your dog moves.
