When we care for pets through Ready Vet Go, we’re often seeing them at their most vulnerable; recovering from illness, managing chronic pain, or adjusting to life after surgery. And while medical treatment is critical, recovery doesn’t stop when the vet leaves. Your pet’s environment at home plays a huge role in how they recover, and comfortable, quality sleep is important for every animals health & healing.
Ready Vet Go is proud to support a brand like Chewproof Dog Beds: an Australian company making vet-recommended, durable, and hygienic beds that are changing the game for dogs and their families.
Built for Recovery & Comfort
We recommend Chewproof beds especially for dogs who are:
- Post-surgery (e.g. orthopaedic surgeries or abdominal procedures)
- Suffering from arthritis or hip dysplasia
- Elderly or mobility-impaired
- Managing neurological conditions (like seizures or vestibular disease)
These dogs need supportive, stable surfaces that won’t sag, slide, or cause pressure injuries. Chewproof beds have a slung sleeping surface that gently supports joints and keeps pets off cold, hard floors. They’re also easy to clean, meaning less risk of soiling & potential wound infection during recovery.
Indestructible for a Reason
Having worked in the emergency vet world, I’ve seen dogs destroy & consume everything. I’ve seen countless chewed-up & ingested toys & beds with many pets having ingested the fabric, stuffing or even zippers. This isn’t just frustrating; it can be dangerous. Pets can ingest these materials & develop life-threatening intestinal obstructions. I’ve even treated a dog who developed a blockage of his esophagus from bedding fabric.
Chewproof Dog Beds are exactly what they say they are: built tough, with an aircraft-grade aluminium frame and no soft edges for chewing. That makes them ideal for:
- Puppies going through a destructive phase
- Dogs with anxiety who shred bedding
- Turbo-chewers who’ve ruined every bed & toy you’ve ever bought
And unlike most “indestructible” beds that claim toughness, Chewproof backs theirs with an impressive 10-year warranty.
Cleanliness = Better Health
Another reason I recommend these beds in a veterinary setting is hygiene. Chewproof beds are waterproof, odour-resistant, and quick to disinfect, making them an excellent option for households managing:
- Urinary or faecal incontinence
- Wound drainage
- Allergies or skin conditions
- Flea &/or tick control
For pet owners who are also carers: for pets on medications, recovering from surgeries, or ageing gracefully: being able to wipe down or hose off a bed instead of doing laundry everyday is a huge relief.
Perfect for Indoors and Outdoors
The beds are designed for flexibility. Whether you want to keep your dog elevated and comfortable on the deck, in the garage, or beside the family couch, these beds work anywhere. They resist mould, sun damage, and water, so you’re not limited to indoor use.
Australian-Owned and Proudly Made
As an Australian small business ourselves, Ready Vet Go is proud to back fellow Australian companies doing meaningful things. Chewproof Dog Beds are Australian-designed and owned, and it’s clear their focus is on solving real problems for real pet owners, just like we are.
Takeaways
The right bed isn’t just a luxury. The home environment & how we manage it is also an integral part of your pet’s care plan. For pets who are healing, ageing, anxious, or just a little too rough on their bedding, a Chewproof Dog Bed isn’t just a smart buy. It’s a safe, practical, and long-lasting solution.
