Barker Beds Unveils BarkerChill+ Lavender

Barker Beds, an industry leader in science-backed orthopedic sleep solutions for large dogs, has launched BarkerChill+ Lavender—a new wellness innovation that brings together temperature-regulating technology and calming aromatherapy to help dogs sleep deeper, longer and more comfortably.

With rising summer temperatures and increased awareness around canine anxiety, BarkerChill+ Lavender arrives at the perfect time for pet parents seeking proactive ways to support their dog’s emotional and physical health. This new offering builds on the success of the original BarkerChill+ by infusing the same foam-based cooling layer with a gentle, all-natural lavender essence—long known for its relaxing effects in both humans and animals.

Unlike other cooling pet products that rely on inserts, gels or covers, BarkerChill+ Lavender is permanently bonded to the top layer of select Barker Beds. This design ensures consistent cooling across the sleep surface and eliminates the need for maintenance or replacement. The calming lavender aroma is subtle, clean and designed to soothe restlessness without overwhelming sensitive noses.

“Today’s pet parents are wellness-focused and emotionally attuned to their dogs’ needs,” said Louisa Marvin, Director of Marketing at Barker Beds. “BarkerChill+ Lavender is our response to that shift—delivering both physical relief and emotional calm in one product. It’s not just about sleep; it’s about well-being.”

 Barker Beds are the only orthopedic dog beds clinically shown to reduce pain and improve mobility in big dogs. The introduction of BarkerChill+ Lavender takes that commitment a step further by addressing two major challenges that can disrupt a dog’s rest: overheating and anxiety.

Dogs with joint issues, thick coats or who are older often struggle to regulate body temperature while sleeping. At the same time, triggers like fireworks, thunderstorms, separation anxiety or even just an active household can cause elevated stress. BarkerChill+ Lavender is engineered to calm both the body and the mind, so dogs can enter restorative sleep more easily—improving recovery, mood and long-term health.

How It Works:

• Temperature Regulation: Advanced cooling treatment pulls heat away from the dog’s body for hours of relief—ideal for hot climates or summer use.
• Soothing Scent: A soft lavender essence is infused directly into the foam, offering holistic, non-invasive relaxation support.
• Built-In, Not Bolt-On: No gel packs, no removable inserts, no extra setup. Just seamless, science-backed comfort.
• Safe & Long-Lasting: Both the cooling and lavender infusions are non-toxic, pet-safe and designed to last the lifetime of the bed.

Who It’s For:

• Senior dogs who overheat easily.
• Dogs with joint pain or inflammation.
• Anxious pups or those prone to restlessness.
• Breeds with thick coats or heat sensitivity.
• Any dog who deserves a little extra chill time.

BarkerChill+ Lavender is available as an optional upgrade on any Barker Beds product for an additional cost. To learn more, visit www.BarkerBeds.com.
