It is Important to Confirm the Memory Foam in Your Orthopedic Dog Bed is CERTIFIED Non-Toxic!

Buddy Beds Orthopedic Memory Foam Dog Beds uses a CERTIFIED safe, non-toxic memory foam, unlike many of our "warehouse" and "discount" imitators - that is how they keep the price so low. Buddy Beds memory foam is certified NOT to contain harmful chemicals or to 'offgas' harmful gases.

Buddy Beds uses a safe, non-toxic memory foam which is a more expensive memory foam. (Read more about our factory in the section below). Our memory foam is certified non-toxic. If you have a question if the memory foam being used is non-toxic -- ask for the certification of the memory foam. Many are claiming their memory foam to be non-toxic - but it needs to be certified. Ask specifically who is certifing the memory foam. It needs to be certifed by a reputable, recognizable, governmental authority. Anyone can claim their memory foam is non-toxic -- but it needs to be certified non-toxic. PERIOD.

In this difficult economy, we are see lots of large corporations, who specialties are other things, get into the 'dog bed business' because they know we love our dogs and will spend money to give them the qualtiy of life they deserve -- regardless of the economy. It is well known that the pet products business is considered 'recession proof', and for that reason and could be a lucrative venture. Sadly, there is not the concern for quality but the desire for profitabilty -- and we are seeing many of the 'wholesale' or 'discount' dog bed manufacturers cut corners.

Ask these 'wholesale' dog bed companies how long they have been making memory foam dog beds. . .and, do they make other memory foam products than dog beds? If so, do they use the same memory foam in all their products? Are their memory foam 'seconds' from other manufacturing lines used in their dog beds?

Here is interesting quote from an article on how memory foam manufacturers can cut corners: "I also was cautioned about manufacturers who unload bad pours of foam on unsuspecting customers in order to recoup their costs in pouring this foam." . . .and. . . "And, like all things, if the price seems too good, it may well be an indication that something isn't right and the foam may not be up to the advertised specifications".

Is it true that memory foam made in the USA is a better quality and safer memory foam?

This is a statement made by some dog bed manufacturers; however, it is not necessary true. Like all things, there are good overseas factories which sell a superior product, and then there are inferior factories that do in fact cut corners.

We at Buddy Beds could make our dog beds with memory foam made in the USA - yet, here is why we do not.

Buddy Beds has been fortunate enough to enter into a partnership with one of the largest, most respected baby products company. Our memory foam comes from the factory that only makes memory foam for baby products (and us). We want the same safety and security we offer our babies . . .for our dogs as well.

The factory we work with has been certified to produce a safe, non-toxic product. The factory is audited and approved by Bureau Veritas, an accredited third party testing laboratory approved by the U.S. Government (CPSIA Act of 2008). This factory is audited once a year by Bureau Veritas as mandated by Babies R Us, as they manufacture BRU branded products.

The key requirements in these audits are:

• Facilities
• Organization
• Production and quality
• Safety compliance testing
• Working conditions

In addition, our memory foam complies to CA 117 Flammability and CPSIA Phthalate requirements.

Interestingly, much of the memory foam manufactured in the USA does not live up to these exacting standards. So don't be fooled, just because it is made in the USA doesn't necessarily mean it is a high quality memory foam.

Working with this respected Chinese factory allows us to buy a superior memory foam at a reasonable price. So rest assured, our memory foam contains no components or chemicals that could pose a health hazard to your dog!

We buy only the finest fabrics, then rigously test all fabrics to be assured they will be durable, washable, non-shrinking, non-pilling, easy to remove dog hair, and importantly -- they will last washing after washing.

You want your dog bed to provide a safe, non-hazardous, non-toxic enviroment for your beloved dog.
