Teresa Willis (Destin, FL) reveals:
This product is best on market! Use them thruout kennels - both for our boarders and adoptive pets we have rescued from euthanasia. Covers withstand the toughest of punishment!

 Great bed, & cat loves it!, March 06 ,2010
Lyanne E. Hoefer suggests that:
My Shepard never gets a chance to lie in it, as the cat is always in it! And set up took about 5 minutes.

Audrey O. (College Station, TX) says:
We got this for our Dachshund and it appears to be very sturdy. If you move it, the legs will twist a little so it is not quite level. However, this can be easily and quickly adjusted. This is the only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars.
The bed is a little bigger than I anticipated, so you may want a smaller one if you have a Shihtzu, Dachshund, Schnauzer, etc. My little Pluto gets on it easily and watches his squirrels as he sunbathes. I have already bought a replacement cover, as I was worried one might not be available in 2 years, like with the last outdoor pet bed we bought. Although they are good quality, I doubt any fabric that is comfortable enough to lie on can withstand summer sun and winter ice for too long. The blue is the nicest color in my opinion, but I could only get the replacement in green.

 Coolaroo Elevated Pet Bed Replacement cover, March 11 ,2010
Donald J. Dubay (USA) says:
All in all, I am very satisfied with the product. If there were to be one suggestion, it would be to make it a little larger - closer to original specs. That is, it fits soooo tight on the frame, it tends to bend the frame a little. We are probably talking only 3/4 inch on the long side. The short side seems ok - but them again, the frame is stronger here.

 Handy & easy to use, February 10 ,2010
Teresa Stidham (Stanton, Ky) reveals that:
I have 3 pet beds and have recommended them to many friends. We love it and the dogs love it. Puppies will chew on the covers but, the adult dogs won't. This is why have replacement covers is so handy! I foster dogs and they all love the beds!

 Best Dog Bed Ever, February 08 ,2010
D. Taylor (Jupiter, FL) reveals that:
We've had at least one dog at a time for more than 35 years and have tried many beds, pillows, baskets, etc. We discovered Coolaroo beds several years ago and they are the best by far. Every dog has loved them (four since we started using them) and from an owner's standpoint, they are great. They are clean (and easy to keep clean), odor-free, good for preventing calluses and great for older dogs' joints. We have even started giving as gifts; we got three for our son and daughter-in-law for Christmas. One note, our dogs have always been pretty large breed - Lab & Rottweiler ranging from 50 to 90 pounds and the only size Coolaroo we have ever used is Medium. Would not go to Large except 90 pounds ++ or to Extra Large for anything smaller than a pony.

 Good enough for the price, March 10 ,2010
Jodi A. Schuh (Apex, NC) says that:
I bought this for a crate for my greyhound. When I first got it I was pleased, but after using it for about a month, it has flattened considerably and has shed a lot of fleece on my carpet. I guess you get what you pay for.

Corgi girl (Chicago) thinks:
My large Pembroke Welsh Corgi took to this bed right away. He loves the soft fleece and bolsters on which he rests his head. It's lightweight and very portable.

 Do they make these in human size? :), February 24 ,2010
D. Gosztyla thinks:
I just received this bed in the mail, and I have to say I'm very impressed.
Based on the Amazon.com photos, I knew that this bed would be super comfy for our medium sized Vizsla.
To the touch it's very soft and inviting. I especially like the elevated, rounded edges for our pup to rest her head on.

A bonus to this already good buy is the fact that it perfectly fits into the Midwest 42x28x31 Life Stages Double Door Crate.
So, you can use it as a bed alone or you can slide it onto the floor of the crate and make it so much more inviting and cozy.

Overall - I'm very pleased with this purchase and waiting for the human size edition ;)
