I've had a dog bed that I've left outside in the backyard for my dog to hang out on for a while, and it's just deteriorated too much after a year or so to keep using it. It wasn't designed to be kept outside, it was just a typical dog bed from costco, so I should have expected it to not last outside, but it did its job while it stayed in good shape. About a week ago, I decided that it was just too dirty and damaged from the rain and such, so I decided to get a dog bed that's made to be kept outside, and I settled on this one. While it is pricy, it's huge (I got the 42x30 option at about $80), and pretty premium quality. It seems like it will last a long time, even after withstanding the elements for a few seasons. What I think that I like most is that it seems like you can easily just hose it off if it gets dirty. I have a tree above my very small backyard that gets its small leaves everywhere, and I can easily just pick this up and knock the leaves off and/or spray it with the hose for a few seconds and get it cleaned off. I think that it hopefully will also be good in the summer to help keep her off of the ground and maybe have some airflow underneath, though I'll have to wait until next year to see if that's the case. It was really easy to put together, it took me probably 2 minutes or less. I was a bit confused about how to get the bolster onto it with the elastic straps, but they just go all the way around the back legs, then the velcro straps go onto the legs just wherever they line up. It feels very sturdy. I found that it was easier to get the legs on if I insert one side of the leg on one of the pole, then rotate the leg and line up the other pole, then rotate it back towards the pole to insert it. Hopefully that makes sense, it just seemed much easier than trying to force the leg in straight on. Read more
So far my dog loves her bed! The frame is lightweight & the bed was easy to assemble. I originally intended to use this outdoors but a been a nice little space for her to go to in the living room without lying directly on the carpet. Mud cleans up pretty easy with a wet washcloth & it also responds well to vacuuming & lint rolling. Also really like the little cushion around the edge as she likes to lay her head on it when sleeping! Read more
This dog cot is perfect! I researched for months and dozens of brands and wanted a good raised cot with a quality bolster for “place” command as well as a cool resting spot for husky. This knocked it out of the park! Awesome quality cot base (handles my husky digging at it to find the perfect spot great), super easy to assemble, light weight but sturdy, and the bolster is very full and cozy as well as being nicely secured with straps and loops to stay in place (even when my dog runs full speed to flop on her cot!). Worth every penny and I will definitely be buying another one for traveling because my dog loves it. We got the Large and my 65lb dog fits with plenty of extra space for her favorite toys and treats.

Bought this bed for our dog a couple of months ago. He really likes it and it’s placed by a window, so the elevation helps him be able to see more outside. My only negative comment would be how noisy it is when he gets on and off of it. Especially in the middle of the night it’s loud enough to wake us up even when in another room. Anyone come up with a way to help prevent that? Otherwise it is working well for the dog! Easy assemble. Read more
There are a few stray cats who regularly visit my porch/yard and since it's getting colder, I decided to get a nice heated cat house for them...but they clearly weren't interested. I figured it was because they didn't want to feel "trapped" in an area they knew other cats frequented. So I got this little cot instead and put an outdoor heated pet mat on top (also K&H brand; the small size fits perfectly). It's gotten a MUCH better reception! It allows them to keep an eye on their surroundings and make a quick getaway if needed while still giving them a comfortable, warm, and dry spot to rest. One cat in particular has really taken to it; she tends to be pretty shy/jumpy, but she'll stretch out and nap on this thing for hours, even as I'm coming and going from the house. Worth every penny! The material should be easy to wipe down when it gets dirty and dry quickly in the rain, and I love the little bolster on the edge (which can be removed if needed). The small size is big enough for even larger cats. It was very easy and fast to assemble (no tools required) and is lightweight but sturdy. This brand seems to make good quality products and I would definitely buy from them again! Read more
Seems like a good product but my dog WILL NOT lay on it. I put her on it, she slinks off of it like she's walking on the moon-just hates it. I think she is scared of it. It's like a trampoline to her. Wasted my money. Read more
This is perfect for my 20lb cockapoo! The frame is metal except for the corners. Very easy to assemble. It’s a little cockeyed when you first get it together, but just push the legs into the floor and it flattens out. The fabric has a sturdy feeling and the bolster is removable if your dog doesn’t like it. Mine loves having a pillow, though. It will be super easy to disassemble and drop in the washer. He’s been avoiding his cushioned bed since we moved last week (probably needs washing again), but the minute I was done putting it together and pointed at it, he was right up there and I didn’t have to send him to it when we went to the table for dinner. Usually he hates having to be where he can’t see me, so he must really find it comfortable. I will probably get one for upstairs too. I would like more color choices, but at least this one is neutral Read more
