Random Until Dawn headcanon: Josh and Hannah had an LPS channel on Youtube. It was originally started by Hannah so she could make high school dramas like LPS Popular.

She would constantly ask Josh if she could borrow his camera (sometimes just straight up stealing it) so she can film something, and most of the time he agreed. Though after months of this going on and never getting an answer whenever he asked what she was filming, Josh decided to just snoop around on her computer until he found the LPS channel.

He ended up binging the whole series and actually got super invested in the story. That’s when he went to Hannah and began trying to get her to spill the tea on what was gonna happen next. Excited by her brother’s interest in her story, she decided to add a whole new character just so that Josh could be a part of the show too. He probably plays a great dane named Chad Barker or something-

1. Papillon. I want a sporty dog that's small and also comfortable staying in occasionally. They're a very friendly and affectionate breed which is a plus. Their coat is soft and pretty and not thick enough for it to be a problem for me.

2. Chihuahua. Similar reasons, I would sacrifice drive and sports for a small manageable dog that just wants to have fun and be loved. I would prefer a long coat but would also be happy enough with a short coat.

3. Border Terrier. Small. Sporty as hell. Very fun with intense personalities. But more relaxed than most terriers and they have short wire coats which I looooove.

4. Tibetan Mastiff. I have a history with mastiffs and recently discovered a love for chowchows(@skippydiesposting 's chow corrupted me) but would rather have that temperament in a large dog if I'm going to take it on. Below border because I can't realistically pursue that dream ATM, but if the opportunity arose Idk if I could say no.

5. Akita. Similar to the Tibetan Mastiff. Mastiff personality but spitzy. Bottom of the list because I will not actively seek this breed but if there were a situation where one was available and it made sense I would take one.

i’m bored and wanna hear people talk about their favorite dogs so..

Dogblr, what are the top 5 breeds you are currently most interested in owning? Doesn’t have to be in any particular order! I’ll go first:

1.) Boykin Spaniel

2.) Field Spaniel

3.) Bracco Italiano

4.) English Cocker Spaniel

5.) Working Clumber Spaniel

Bonus points if you add why these particular breeds appeal to you!

Deneburg

Deneburg is an Anglo-Saxon feminine name composed of Dene (Dane) and burg (fort), cognate with Icelandic Danbjörg.

Variants:

Deneburh [William Searle 1897 Onomasticon Anglo-Saxonicum, page 164].

Deneburg [Eilert Ekwall 1954 Street-names of the City of London, page 22].

Prototheme:

Dene = Dane [Leonard Neidorf 2018 Childhood & Adolescence in Anglo-Saxon Literary Culture, page 37].

Deuterotheme:

burg = fort, city [Henry Sweet 1886 The Oldest English Texts, page 553].

Evidence:

The genitive case occurs in the place-name “Deneburge hlaéwe” in the boundary clause of charter issued by King Eadræd in 947: “of Tatmonnes apoldre to Deneburge hleáwe; of Deneburge hleáwe tó stánbeorge” [John Kemble 1847 Codex Diplomaticus Aevi Saxonici 5: 313 (number 1159)]: “from Tatmon’s apple-tree to Deneburh’s mound, from Deneburh’s mound to the stony hill” [Eric Barker 1949 Sussex Archæological Collections 88: 67 (number 33)].

Best Durable Pet Beds for Large Dogs

Finding a durable pet bed for large dogs is not just a luxury—it's a necessity. Large breed dogs need strong, supportive, and long-lasting beds that can withstand their size, weight, and sometimes their chewing tendencies.

If you’re tired of replacing dog beds every few months or worrying about your pet’s joint health, investing in the right heavy-duty dog bed can make all the difference.

Why Durable Pet Beds Matter for Large Dogs

Unlike small breeds, large dogs like Labradors, German Shepherds, Great Danes, or Mastiffs place more pressure on bedding. A standard bed can flatten quickly, lose support, and even tear apart under their weight or claws.

Choosing a durable and orthopedic dog bed helps ensure your pup gets the joint support they need—especially important for older or arthritic dogs.

What to Look for in Durable Dog Beds for Large Breeds

When buying a heavy-duty dog bed, consider the following features for maximum comfort and longevity:

1. Orthopedic Support Foam

Large dogs often suffer from hip dysplasia or arthritis, so memory foam dog beds provide the joint support they need. High-density foam won’t flatten over time and keeps your dog comfortable during long naps.

2. Tear-Resistant Materials

Look for beds with ballistic nylon, canvas, or ripstop fabrics that can resist digging, scratching, and light chewing. These are ideal chew-proof beds for large dogs.

3. Waterproof and Machine-Washable Covers

Accidents happen. Choose beds with removable, washable covers that are also waterproof to protect the inner foam.

4. Raised or Cot-Style Options

Elevated dog beds are great for airflow, especially in warmer climates. They also reduce pressure on joints and keep your pet off hard surfaces.

5. Non-Slip Base

Large dogs move with force. A non-slip base prevents the bed from sliding on hardwood or tile floors.

Top 5 Durable Pet Beds for Large Dogs

Here’s our carefully curated list of the best tough and supportive pet beds for large dogs in 2025:

1. Big Barker Orthopedic Dog Bed

Best for: Joint support, aging dogs

Material: 7-inch therapeutic foam

Durability: Clinical-grade foam retains shape for 10+ years

Pros: Machine washable, handmade in the USA, 10-year warranty

Cons: Premium price tag

2. K9 Ballistics Chew Proof Elevated Dog Bed

Best for: Aggressive chewers

Material: Aluminum frame + ballistic fabric

Durability: Practically indestructible

Pros: Waterproof, easy to clean, great airflow

Cons: Not soft—best when paired with a blanket or pad

3. PetFusion Ultimate Lounge Memory Foam Dog Bed

Best for: Everyday use with orthopedic benefits

Material: 4-inch memory foam + poly-filled bolsters

Durability: Tear and water-resistant cover

Pros: Stylish, supportive, and comfortable

Cons: May not withstand intense chewing

4. Kuranda Elevated Dog Bed

Best for: Outdoor or kennel use

Material: Aircraft-grade aluminum frame

Durability: Built to hold dogs up to 250 lbs

Pros: Easy to clean, chew-proof, great for large breeds

Cons: No cushioning (add your own pad if needed)

5. FurHaven Water-Resistant Jumbo Dog Bed

Best for: Budget-conscious pet parents

Material: Egg-crate orthopedic foam

Durability: Decent for non-destructive dogs

Pros: Affordable, washable, spacious

Cons: Not for heavy chewers

Maintenance Tips for Long-Lasting Dog Beds

To ensure your investment lasts:

Vacuum regularly to remove dirt and fur

Wash the cover every 1–2 weeks

Use odor-neutralizing sprays if your pet sweats a lot

Rotate the bed occasionally to even out wear

How to Choose the Right Size Bed for Large Dogs

Measure your dog from nose to tail while lying down and add 8–12 inches. This ensures they can stretch out comfortably. Most brands offer XL or Jumbo sizes specifically for large and giant breeds.

Mistakes to Avoid When Buying a Large Dog Bed

Choosing the wrong size (always measure first)

Ignoring the dog's health needs (skip thin foam)

Focusing only on aesthetics over functionality

Not checking washability or warranty policies

FAQs on Durable Beds for Big Dogs

1. What’s the best bed for a large dog that chews?

The K9 Ballistics Chew Proof Elevated Bed or Kuranda Bed are top options for aggressive chewers.

2. Are orthopedic dog beds worth the money?

Yes—especially for senior dogs or breeds prone to joint issues like Labs, Goldens, and Shepherds.

3. How long do durable dog beds last?

With proper care, high-end beds like Big Barker can last 10+ years. Even budget options can last 1–2 years.

4. Can I wash a memory foam dog bed?

Most come with removable, machine-washable covers. The foam itself should not be soaked; use a damp cloth and pet-safe cleaner.

5. Is an elevated bed better for large dogs?

Elevated beds reduce joint stress and are great for warm climates or outdoor use.

When it comes to your large dog’s comfort, don’t cut corners. The best durable dog bed for large breeds isn’t just about strength—it’s about support, hygiene, and long-term comfort.

Whether you need a chew-resistant bed, a cooling cot, or a therapeutic orthopedic mattress, the right choice will help your big pup sleep better and live healthier.

Want help choosing based on your dog's breed or sleeping habits? Just ask, and we’ll personalize recommendations for you.

Dane barker from grand scheme interview from undivided attention zine

[mango-pup]

Thanks everyone! I think I'm going to go with The Big Dog Bed Company

Big Barker definitely came in close second, but harder to get outside of the US

Orthopaedic dog bed recommendations?

Mango has had this bed forever, but the stitching is going and the mattress has seen better days. I brought a replacement in the same brand but the quality was pretty poor. What brands do people like that offer good support for old bones? I'm happy to pay for good quality for my best girl.
