Precision Engineering
Raised-Rim Nest
Donut wall for chin and spine when the dog sleeps in a circle. The bolster job, not a sprawl mattress.
Size by Weight Chart
23" to 25 lb, 30" to 45 lb, then 36/45/54. A Lab in a 30-inch donut is the wrong SKU.
Washable (Cover on Medium+)
23-inch washes whole; 30-inch and up unzip the cover. Shag holds hair — plan on laundry.
