I am thinking about getting Aspen an elevated bed like this one https://www.amazon.com/Original-Ele...qid=1522964730&sr=1-1&keywords=raised+dog+bed because he likes to be up on something when he rests. He would rather lay on the ottoman than on the floor, but I want to give him a cooler option (plus his dad would like to use the ottoman ) Has anyone ever used a bed like this?
Maxx has a similar trampoline style bed. We call it his 'work bench' because at the moment he lies on it to have his Kong's or to chew on a toy. As soon as he gets something exciting to chew he runs straight to it. But when it comes time to sleep he hops off and sleeps on the floor! We think it's because it is still hot here and he will hopefully prefer his bed with a blanket once winter comes.
We have one like that for the outside. It stops fleas (supposedly) as it is raised and the cover os flea resistant. Gives her plenty of cool airflow. Inside she just lies wherever she fancies.... Excuse to attach a picture showing her on her outside bed that I just found....
Thanks yes we think so too.... That chair was a present from a friend of my Nan's, it sits under the alfresco in the corner now. I am not convinced about it....
Yes Maisy has one but she also only uses it to take a toy to, has a quick chew then goes to sleep on the floor or the sofa. I have tried all sorts of other beds though with the same result, maybe in summer it will be cooler for her than anywhere else.
I have the Coolaroo. It's OK but no more than that. I hear the Amazon Basics one is pretty good, but I'm getting another one soon and I will be splashing out for the Hi-K9 one. The Coolaroos I have have rusted a bit and the screws come loose so they can wobble. I think get a cheap one to see if your dog likes it but think of it as disposable and replace it with a quality one when it wears out.
I have a couple of HiK9s and the dogs love them, sleep on them every night and during the day too. They seem very tough and have survived a chewy pup with just a few frays on the cover's corners. I use an ordinary piece of vetbed on top of ours but HiK9 sell allsorts of different covers/cushions to fit the beds if you wanted something more luxurious.
I've a hik9 too. Inky loves it and I move it around the house to suit us. He has a bit of old carpet on it as he ate vet bet
I have the exact same one as @Sven with vetbed on top for comfort. It cost £17.99 for the XL, I have had it for over two years and is as good as new. I highly recommend it xx
@charlie ours is from Aldi last year. Aus$19.99, if uou buy them from a pet store over a $100 @alschwahn thanks yes if I am lucky I can just catch her where see smiles. And who says dogs don't smile
