Once you have made the plunge and decided to replace that tatty, smelly old dog bed that embarrasses you whenever anyone comes round to visit you will be truly amazed at the sheer choice of beds available to you.  As well as the well known plastic dog beds, wicker baskets and soft, fabric beds, there are the newcomers – waterproof and raised dog beds.

The Coolaroo dog bed is the most popular type of elevated dog bed available and has many great features and benefits.  By being up off the floor there is no chance that the cold can seep into the base of the bed as it sits on the ground and so your dog won’t get chilled. Similarly, in the hot weather a flow of fresh air beneath your dog and the breathable nature of the surface of the bed will stop your dog from sweating and overheating.

Unlike many types of dog bed these can be used outside in dog pens as any rain will quickly dry out and won’t damage the bed itself. It also has a warranty against damage by sunlight so you won’t need to worry about leaving it outside day in and day out. Its suitability for a dog house is dependent on the size of the house as, being high, your dog might not have enough clearance for his head in a smaller space.

Another great use of this bed is for older dogs who have become rather stiff with age.  Being higher your pet will not have to bend very much to be able to get into and out of it and so will protect his joints from extra damage.

The canvas type surface of the bed is also very resistant to invasion by fleas or mites and so, along with its ease of cleaning, is a very hygienic place for your pet to sleep.
