Senior Dog Bed Rec?

I'm caring for a senior dog who has become incontinent in her sleep b/c of medication.  Has anyone had any luck with a particular bed?  I've been searching, but I haven't found anything that looks comfortable and would repel the urine w/o simply making her sleep in a puddle or have it roll off into the carpet.  

TIA! 

Re: Senior Dog Bed Rec?

  • Perhaps you could buy one with a removeable washable cover, then slide a pee pad between the cover and the bed?  That's the best I can come up with.

    Have you tried doggie diapers?

  • Yeah, the diapers don't stay put on her.  She's a boxer with just a nub of a tail, so she doesn't have that to help hold it and the deep chest and haunch shape don't help either.  

    Even with a pee pad in-between some leaks into the internal stuffing.  

     I just feel so bad for her b/c she's miserable whenever she wakes up and sees that it happened to her again. 

  • We use a vinyl tablecloth with the flannel/fleece backing for my senior dog if she's having problems. They sleep with us so I have to protect the bed.  You could lay it on top of the dog bed, fleece side up so it is softer. Then the whole thing goes in the washing machine if there is an accident.
