Raised Dog Bed

Your dog needs his own dog bed as the average adult dog will sleep up to 12 hours a day - so they need somewhere very comfortable and cosy to sleep. It will give him his own space and make him feel secure. Of the many different types of dog bed available on the market the raised dog bed is a popular choice amongst dog owners.

The main benefit to a raised dog bed is that allows air to circulate underneath the bed thus keeping your dog cool in the summer and preventing him from getting too cold in the winter. Often fitted with special knitted mesh fabric, these beds keep cool and dry because the material breathes. If used outside, no standing water will stay on the top of the bed and will fall through the breathable material.

The breathability of the bed fabric helps deter insects and bacterial infestation and prevents mold and mildew from forming. You can put your raised dog bed on grass, a concrete floor, patio floor or hard kitchen floor and you dog will always feel comfortable, regardless.

Other types of dog beds whose base comes in direct contact with the floor may disturb some dogs as you move it from one surface to another so a raised bed is the perfect solution in this case.

Most raised dog beds can be easily dismantled in minutes. This is ideal if you are on the move with your dog such as camping, on a day out or visiting friends so you will have the peace of mind and know your dog will be able to rest in comfort.

These beds usually come in three sizes: small, medium and large and are typically 6” raised off the ground - so even the smallest dog can climb onto the bed without any problems. Be sure to purchase the correct bed size for your dog – don’t buy one too small. You pet needs to be comfortable so be sure to measure your dog and check out the sizes of the beds before you purchase. Make sure you allow for 6” around the dog when they lying down on the bed.
