Abstract

A pet bed that is modeled after the anatomy of the canine shape. It uses a specially designed comfort area in the top pad that aligns with the hip and shoulder areas to provide a supportive and conforming area to help improve blood flow to the hips and legs. It also has a honeycomb support system molded into the base that aids in adjusting the overall pressure across the entire surface of the bed, making the bed truly form fitting. A back and head/neck rest support are also included. These areas are designed to allow the pet to choose a multiple of head/neck and paw placements to allow complete comfort with all of the therapeutic support benefits that the pet requires.
