Jewell Animal Hospital: The Kuranda Bed

1. Jewell Animal Hospital: The
Kuranda Bed

2. Founded in 1949, the Jewell Animal Hospital
serves pets and their owners throughout the St.
Louis Area.
With a strong frame constructed of either
aluminum tubing or reinforced poly-vinyl chloride
(PVC), the Kuranda Bed has been described as
an ideal bed by many pet owners. Like a cot, it
features a sleeping surface, made of a tough
canvas-like fabric called Cordura, raised six or
nine inches above the ground. The design is
patented and is praised by pet owners whose
dogs chew through more traditional dog beds.

3. The Kuranda bed is also recommended by pet-
care professionals who point out that the bed
provides significant orthopedic benefits for healthy
hips and joints. In addition, pets who sleep on a
Kuranda Bed avoid developing the ugly sores that
form on many dogs’ joints caused by lying on hard
floors.

4. Also, because there is no fill to the bed, it will not
get lumpy or compressed. The lack of fill also
makes it very easy to clean the Kuranda Bed, and
a strong hosing down with a garden hose will
usually suffice. The Kuranda Bed is also
guaranteed to be chew proof. It secures all fabric
edges in a channel built into the frame, leaving no
exposed flaps or edges for even the most
determined chewer to grip with his or her teeth.
