Why We Picked These

Big dogs destroy standard-sized gear. We've learned this the hard way (and so have most large breed owners). The Big Barker bed is expensive but it's the only bed that won't flatten under a 90-pound Lab — the 10-year guarantee backs that up. The Goughnuts ring is legendary in the large breed community for being virtually indestructible, and their safety guarantee proves they stand behind it. Large breed food is formulated differently than regular adult food — the protein-to-fat ratio and glucosamine content are optimized for joint health, which is the number one health concern for big dogs. The XL iCrate gives your dog enough room to stand and turn comfortably, which is critical for proper crate training.
