LoremIpsum Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Hi All, I have an eleven-week old Lab. She has a lovely, cosy bed inside, which has a very hand detachable mat. But I'm converting a small shed outside into a kennel, and it has a concrete floor which will be too cold and hard for her to sleep on. I was thinking of getting one of those Snooza raised beds. Alternatively, I have some wooden pallets — I could those to get her off the floor then get a Snooza pet futon. (Or equivalent bedding.) So, my questions are: 1. has anyone got Snooza beds? Which one do you have? Do you recommend them? 2. would an adult Labrador need a large or extra-large? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlettsmum Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I have a snooza bed for my dog who is 'lab sized'. It is a large (there was only 1 larger) and it fits her nicely, it's a flea free one and I bought a padded snooza pad to use in winter, it's covered in polar fleece and I can just chuck it in the washing machine. Great beds, I highly recommend them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna H Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Snooza beds are great... I bought 2 of the futon ones - both of which get washed every fortnight.... they are probably just due to be replaced now (five years on!!!) great product Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJ Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 My labs love their Snooza futons, they have the mighty (not sure if that is large or xlarge) sized ones. They are great and very easy to wash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alison Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Your 11 week old cute little bundle of joy is going to turn into a gremlin that destorys anything that isn't quick enough to get away from her in a number of weeks. I wouldn't spend that much money on a snooza bed until i knew she was past the destucto stage. My 11 month old Golden Retriever ate his 3rd doggie door and about his 10th bed today. I have decided not to replace or fix anything unessential until he has finished his mission of destruction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harper Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 The Snooza D1000 sounds pretty tough. I would like to get one for my naughty 'bed destroyers' but they are quite expensive so I am going to have to wait a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My golden retiever girl prefers the L one (more cosy I think ) I also have snooza futons and snooza cuddler, the latter is the greatest hit :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winterpaws Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 (edited) Our guys who have destroyed all their outside mats have still not managed to do any damage to the D1000' - it's been two months and I am seriously impresssed!!!! eta - if you are after a raised bed can I reccomend the BFB from Greats Rugs. I first saw them at our local pound and they are so tough - 3 years on and they are still intact and looking good. You can get them here www.greatrugs.com.au and they are undewr heavy duty beds ( B.F.B) Better Framed BedGalvanised steel frame resists rust whilst the improved mesh mat keeps your dog comfortable as well as being waterproof, chew resistant and flea retardant. The mat is fixed to the frame. Edited August 4, 2008 by Winterpaws Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamuzz Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Our guys who have destroyed all their outside mats have still not managed to do any damage to the D1000' - it's been two months and I am seriously impresssed!!!! Another vote for the D1000 here. We have 3 of them, which have survived not only Miss Jatz the german destroyer, but a fair few fosters (including the odd lab) My red one has holes in two corners, but the cream two are fine. Somehow, the red material feels "stiffer" and it rubbed against the crate and finished up with holes in two opposite corners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photobull Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I love snooza beds... I have one for my boy but havent been able to get the same for my girl. it has a cover which you can take off then the inside bed also has a zip so you can change the filling for new stuff when worn out.

Chocolate Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Botheration. If you are going to get snooza bedding then spend the extra and get the D1000, you can lie it on a pallet. It isn't complety indestructable as my small dogs have chewed a couple of corners, however, they are extremely strong, will give some comfort and mine have been through sun and rain and are still going strong unlike many of the other Snooza beds I purchased. It's worth spending a bit extra or you'll find false economy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sagittarian Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Keep in mind that Snooza will repair damage at no cost. We sell a lot of D1000's, particularly the bigger sizes, and the feedback is always positive. Our staff buy them too! If there is any chewing that gets through, then use your Snooza guarantee, they are always a pleasure to deal with. Sags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chezzyr Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 We have a raised green bed for outside that looks similar to the Snooza Flea-Free Dog Bed but was a fraction of the price (not sure where it came from). Sometimes I plonk the Snooza Futon on it. Love that the covers are easily washable. The futon gets used indoors, outdoors, in the car, for camping etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoremIpsum Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 Curse you all for suggesting the most expensive option!!! *shakes fist at sky* However, your reasoning is spot on. She does need the toughest option.Plus it's all weather, right? So can be in cosy kennel or out in shady spot in summer. And it looks quite attractive to me. Amazingly, her inside bed is the only thing she doesn't chew. So let's hope she treats the D1000 the same. Now just have to sweet talk His Highness into it! We may be coming out to see you soon Sag! PS Winterpaws, thanks for the heads up on the Great Rugs beds. They look great — like the Snoozas but a bit cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fozzie Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Botheration, seeing as you are in Melbourne, it is worth subscribing to the Snooza website. They have warehouse sales every 3/6 months and you can get great discounts on Snooza beds. It's a bit like a Myer stocktake sale when the doors open, and they don't always have every item on sale, but the standard futons and raised beds are usually there and if you buy a few things you get a larger discount.

Thanks Fozzie, I just subscribed. I note the website says the next sale is mid-September. Given that Martha has an indoor bed and this will be an outdoor bed for summer, I'm going to put off buying until then. Hoorah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
