Dr. Alison Shen, veterinary acupuncturist and founder of The Acupuncture Vet, treats dogs with severe joint pain every day — and she uses Dazy Dog beds as her clinical treatment surface.
Clinical Treatment Surface

“I use Dazy Dog beds as my clinical treatment surface and at home for my own greyhound and Moodle. If it’s good enough for my pets, it’s definitely good enough for our patients.”
Clinical-Grade Joint Support
“Consistent joint support while sleeping is just as important as supplements and medication”
Memory foam distributes weight evenly, reducing pressure on the elbow, hips, shoulders and hocks — the exact pressure points Dr. Alison treats for calluses and pressure sores in her clinic every day. Whether your dog is recovering from surgery, managing arthritis, or simply ageing, the surface they sleep on is a critical part of their orthopaedic care.

“At the acupuncture vet we definitely see a lot of patients that need special bedding for their joints and their bones. Specifically memory foam will help to distribute weight evenly and reduce pressure on protruding points such as the elbow, hips, shoulders and hocks. Consistent joint support while resting and sleeping is just as important as joint supplements and medication and is definitely part of their orthopedic care plan.”
Don’t Wait Until They’re Old
“If You’re Investing in Food and Supplements, the Bed Shouldn’t Be Overlooked”
Most owners wait until their dog shows signs of pain before thinking about orthopaedic support. Dr. Alison says this is one of the most common mistakes she sees. Supporting joints from a young age is preventative care — just like diet and exercise.
“Owners often underestimate how much discomfort their dog is in at home. You don’t need to wait until your dog is old to support their joints.”

“Owners often underestimate how much discomfort their dog is in at home. You don’t need to wait until your dog is old to support their joints. Supporting their joints when they are young is just as important and is actually part of responsible and preventative pet care. If you are investing in food and supplements the surface your dog sleeps on shouldn’t be overlooked.”
Hygiene, Skin & Allergies
Dirty Bedding is a Leading Cause of Skin Infections in Dogs
Dr. Alison sees it in clinic every week — dogs with hot spots, dermatitis, and recurring skin flare-ups that are directly linked to bacteria and moisture build-up in their bedding. Dazy Dog’s waterproof liner and machine-washable cover eliminate this risk entirely.

“Let’s face it, our pets spend many, many hours in their beds, chewing their treats, licking their skin, doing all sorts of nasty habits and dirty bedding is definitely a common issue of skin irritation, skin infections and flare-ups in dogs with pre-existing skin issues. I believe washable covers are critical for dogs with allergies and sensitive skin. Moisture and bacteria can build up in bedding and if your dog suffers from hot spots or dermatitis, this can definitely exacerbate the problem or even cause them.”

“The Dazy Dog beds that we use in clinic are really important for our patients, as they are made of memory foam, which helps distribute their weight evenly, reducing any pressure on their joints, their hips, their elbows, their knees and their hocks. We love that the covers can be easily changed and washed and replaced between each patient. Personally, I use the Dazy Dog beds at home for my own pets, my 10-year-old greyhound and my four-year-old Moodle. And if it’s good enough for my pets, then it’s definitely good enough for our patients in clinic.”
What Makes Dazy Dog Different
Engineered for Dogs Who
Deserve the Best
High-density memory foam contours to your dog’s body, distributing weight evenly and eliminating pressure points on joints, hips, and elbows.
A fully sealed waterproof liner protects the foam from moisture, accidents, and bacteria — keeping the bed hygienic for years.
The outer cover unzips and goes straight in the washing machine. Tumble dry safe. Recommended for dogs with skin conditions or allergies.
Dazy Dog guarantees the foam will never flatten or lose its support. If it does, they replace it — no questions asked.
Raised bolster walls provide neck and head support, reduce anxiety, and give dogs a sense of security — especially important for post-surgery recovery.
Dr. Alison Shen uses Dazy Dog beds as her clinical treatment surface at The Acupuncture Vet in Brisbane — the only bed she trusts for her patients.

“My 12-year-old Lab has arthritis and this bed has genuinely changed his quality of life. He gets up so much easier in the morning. Worth every cent.”
“Our vet actually recommended Dazy Dog after our dog’s TPLO surgery. The waterproof liner was a lifesaver during recovery. Couldn’t be happier.”
“I was sceptical about the price but after two years it still looks brand new. The lifetime guarantee is real — they replaced a cover with zero fuss.”
“Our German Shepherd is 40kg and this bed hasn’t budged. Other beds we tried were flat in a month. This one is still perfect after 18 months.”
“The faux fur cover is so luxurious. My rescue dog was anxious and wouldn’t settle anywhere — she claimed this bed within an hour and hasn’t left it since.”
“I use Dazy Dog beds as my clinical treatment surface and at home for my own greyhound and Moodle. If it’s good enough for my pets, it’s definitely good enough for our patients.”
Sleep Quality & Recovery
Your Dog Spends Up to 18 Hours a Day on Their Bed
According to Dr. Alison, dogs rest 12–18 hours daily. That means the surface they sleep on has more impact on their health than almost any other factor. Good sleep supports immune function, accelerates healing, and promotes calm behaviour.
“If you find that your dog is constantly repositioning or fidgeting throughout the night, it may be their bedding. Their comfort may be an issue.”

“Did you know that dogs spend 12 to 18 hours a day resting? So the surface and the bedding that they rest on really does matter. Good sleep supports good immune function, accelerates healing and promotes good healthy calm behavior. During rest this is when tissue repairs, the body heals and recovery happens.”

“In clinic I see a lot of dogs with bone, ligament, joints and muscle issues and having proper good supportive bedding is important for their recovery as well as their healing. Owners often underestimate how much discomfort their dog is in at home. You don’t need to wait until your dog is old to support their joints — supporting their joints when they are young is just as important and is actually part of responsible and preventative pet care.”
