Gel-Pedic Pet Bed

The Gel-Pedic® orthopedic pet bed combines a natural nesting shape and a new patented material called GelFoam®.

GelFoam® is a heat sensitive memory foam type material that custom forms to pets’ bodies, easing pressure on legs and hips. The gel helps keep pets cool in the summer by maintaining a lower ambient temperature, while the foam helps keep pets warm in the winter with dense insulation.

Each Gel-Pedic® pet bed includes built-in pockets that secure the Repel-a-Flea aroma bars, made from natural eucalyptus oil, in order to help deter fleas, mites, and ticks. The Gel-Pedic® pet bed includes a machine washable, faux fur cover.

Available in five sizes: Toy 17 x 13, X-Small 20 x 15, Small 24 x 19, Medium 30 x 23, and Large 39.5 x 30. Also available is the Gel-Pedic® LeakLiner, for incontinent pets, at an additional cost.
