Orvis, the home and travel dog products, fly-fishing and outdoor apparel retailer, launched its RecoveryZone dog bed. The company was one of the first to commercialize the dog bed in the U.S. in 1977.
“We’ve built the best dog bed on the market for maximum rest and recovery,” said Brandon Jorgensen, product designer at Orvis. “We developed it over three years, evaluated 12 different prototypes and sought expert consultation from veterinary partners (and dogs) across the country. The result is a bed built on good clean science with one goal in mind—a long, healthy life for your dog.”
The RecoveryZone dog bed combines two foam densities, a four-inch medium-density solid foam base topped with a one-inch SereneFoam layer. The combination “maximizes weight distribution, reducing pressure points and stress on a dog’s joints, muscles and ligaments when laying down, and increases circulation, allowing dogs to recover faster.” The one-inch SereneFoam layer “creates airflow and breathability that better regulates a dog’s body temperature, resulting in a more comfortable, better night’s sleep so your dog can recharge faster.”
“Just like us, rest and recovery are essential for dogs’ physical and mental health,” said Dr. Kurt Venator, chief vet officer at Purina. “According to the American College of Veterinary Surgeons, joint issues or osteoarthritis occurs in approximately 25 percent of dogs. That percentage grows as active dogs get older. Anything we can do to reduce pressure points, muscle soreness or reduce inflammation when they rest will dramatically help our dogs get back into action. Additionally, dogs sleep 12 hours a day on average, and it is critical for their brain health, overall metabolism and even immune function. An optimal sleep environment that allows for ideal rest and recovery is key for a healthy, happy and long life for your dog.”
The couch bed’s full-height, solid foam bolster is gently sloped to support dogs regardless of where they lay their heads, while the lounger bed is for dogs that like to stretch out. RecoveryZone beds have a machine-washable, water-resistant liner for easy care and longevity. Other features include human-grade, low VOC upholstery with fur-masking microtexture for easy cleaning and no-chew handles.
RecoveryZone dog beds range from small to extra large and come in eight assorted colors and patterns and ToughChew and FleeceLock styles.
