Ok&H Pet Merchandise Elevated Out of doors Canine Cot Mattress, Raised Cooling Mattress with Washable Breathable Mesh for Additional-Giant Canine, Transportable Raised Platform Pet Mattress, Heavy Obligation Steel Body Hammock Mattress, XL, Tan

Almost as cool as the concrete slab but substantially more comfortable for our German Shepherds
24-Dec-7 UPDATE: All four beds are still going strong after two years. Vacuuming them often to minimize washing helped keep the mesh suspension portions going for awhile but we have had to improvise one sleeping surface as the original finally developed one too many tears. We aren’t upset about this at all and are actually impressed given how much use these beds see when they double as wrestling surfaces for my shepherds. The frames are all in 10/10 shape. It’s not often that I come across such a durable and worthwhile product as everything now seems to be built for continuous replacement.23-Nov-30 UPDATE: Really, the final update this time. We’re one year in with these beds and are still without issue. Our dogs use them every day and night. They’re sagging a little more now than before but our dogs still love their beds. We wash the platforms only when we need to and instead, vacuum them daily to keep them clean. We’ve found that we only have to wash them after the dogs have spent hours on the beds, working on antlers or chunks of yak cheese. I think line drying has also contributed to the long service life. I’m happy to report that all four bedframes are still intact too so when the mesh finally fails, we will be able to make replacement beds with some time on the sewing machine. We (humans and dogs) are still super pleased with these beds!23-May-23 UPDATE: This will be the final update for this product. All four beds are still 100% functional. We’ve had some frayed edges develop after numerous washings but nothing that prevents the use of these beds. Our dogs have grown slightly in size and still like to wrestle or run across their beds so these beds have certainly seen some use that results in wear. Six months and four beds later, we are very happy with these and will purchase more when these eventually fail. And failure isn’t a mark of poor quality! Filled beds need to be refreshed, renewed, and replaced too, just like a platform bed. These are consumable items and these beds were well-worth the cost given how much comfort they have provided and use they have endured.23-Feb-27 UPDATE: All four beds are still in service with our dogs and going strong. No tears, no frayed edges despite numerous washings, no broken pieces. Our dogs still love their beds and use them daily/nightly. We have figured out a better way to reassemble the beds after washing though. We assemble the frame completely but leave the velcro undone. Brace the two corners of the frame with feet then stretch and pull the bed as tight as possible before folding over the frame. This results in a much tighter fit and less sag.22-Nov-29 UPDATE: The first two beds we purchased were moved to a different part of the house while we waited for the second set. The second set was built and replaced the originals in the basement. I literally had my dogs sitting, waiting for me to complete assembling their beds. As soon as one was built, the male took it which was surprising given he is not the dominant one of the pair. The female continued to wait while I assembled the second bed, followed me as I was placing it and hopped on it literally as I was setting it down. I’d say it’s safe to say that my two dogs love their beds. In the picture, the male is on the left.ORIGINAL REVIEW:We have a pair of German Shepherds. At the time of this writing, they have had these beds for about a week and are 11 months old. The larger of the two is a 110 pound male and relatively long while the smaller is an 80 pound female. This review is primarily about the male’s experience with the bed as the female is not nearly as selective about where she sleeps.Despite daily grooming and the basement being kept at 68 degrees, he prefers to lay directly on the concrete slab rather than any bed or softer surface we have tried to offer him. Our best guess is the slab is the only surface that is able to wick away his body heat and keep him comfortable. That is, until we bought him the largest model of this bed and paired it with a fan. He immediately laid down on his bed and stretched out along the diagonal. His paws dangle off the edge ever so slightly but he doesn’t seem to mind. He frequently brings an elk antler or chunk of yak cheese to his bed to gnaw on it while laying down. During one of the first sessions on the bed, he discovered the raised manufacturer’s mark and gave it a few probing attempts but it didn’t yield and he hasn’t tried to remove it again. I did see the female give the mark a couple swipes with her paw but no other attempts than that.The bed is very easy to assemble and disassemble for cleaning and portability. Both of our dogs enjoy their chews in their respective beds so the ability to clean it is important. As far as durability goes, our two have rough-housed on their beds without breaking anything. Their combined weight is close to 200 pounds however these beds are rated for 300 pounds and showed no signs of buckling under them. We have been pleased enough with these beds to order a second pair of them for another spot in the house.

Nice Quality Easy to Assemble
The dog outgrew his metal and fabric cot so I bought this. It is very nice looking, easy to assemble by yourself and good quality.The dog refused to sleep in the bedroom when I replaced his bed with this. He slept by the door sighed loudly and pouted. So I put his old creaky metal one back in the bedroom and and put this one outside by a tree. He will rest on it there just not in the house.I also use this as a step for the dogs when they jumping out of the truck. It cuts the height and is light enough to throw in the bed of the truck but is sturdy enough for an 100 pound shepherd and 40 pound cattle dog.It’s easier than dealing with pet ramps or steps for trucks. Both happily jump right down without injury.

It works as intended, is easy to clean, and is great also for senior dogs with a cushion on top of it!

Bought this so my dog wouldn’t have to lay down on the ground when we are outside. It took awhile for her to actually use it but now she loves laying on it. It is very sturdy and easy to set up
