My dog is in need of a new bed (her's is starting to flatten out). She is an 8 year old Golden Retriever, and she has mild hip dysplasia on one side. She loves to snuggle in and curl up when she sleeps, especially on the couch or my bed!! She also loves to sleep upside down on the floor while her legs lean against the side of the couch (it's really funny) but never sleeps like that at night, only naps. She needs something that will support her as she gets a little older, but also something that will be comfortable for her to sleep in. I was thinking about getting her a slumber ball such as this one:

Do you think that is an appropriate choice?
Thanks :D

Thank you everyone for your input! I appreciate it!! Just so answer a few of your questions:
-The bed cover and liner is removeable for washing when needed, which is convenient.
-She also doesn't have any chewing or incontinence problems, thankfully!
-The bed is designed as a wide flat cylinder, so that it will not roll. Also, it is designed so the dog will sing into it, creating walls around it to keep the dog comfy in the middle.
I've decided to get it for her, I'm sure she'll love it, and maybe I'll get my foot room back when I sleep!!
Thanks again!
