Question from Denise Cueba
I’m looking to buy a bed for my 70 lb. German Shepherd. I was hoping to find something organic but my main concern is that it does not have anything toxic in it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I would choose a pet bed with an organic cotton cover and natural fiber fill.
We have three german shepherds too, 120 lb, 90 lb, and 150 lb and we use the futon twin mattress fromhttp://www.northernnaturals.com that is on Debra’s list. Buddy’s bed is also natural for dogs but they were not big enough for german shepherds.
I purchased an organic cotton yoga mat for my 75 lb German Shepherd. I folded it in half and covered it with an organic crib sheet. It has worked out well for her and the price is right!

I got a dog bed from Shepherd’s Dream. My dogs love the wool bed with a cotton covering.
