A raised dog bed is not always a sign of wealth; it can also be a sign of comfort and love. Your dog is your best friend and he deserves the best. Why make him sleep on the hard, cold floor when he could be sleeping on a comfortable bed.

Have you slept on your floor lately? Odds are that you haven’t. The reason why is why would you? It’s uncomfortable and it’s cold. Did you ever consider that that’s how your dog feels too? If they had the choice to sleep on your comfy bed or the hard floor, which do you think they would choose?
What’s a Raised Dog Bed?
It is simply a very durable piece of material that is securely attached to a very strong frame that is made of a resin, aluminum or steel and holds the dog about 6 inches above the ground. Some frames are raised about 9 inches for super big dogs. This is a bed that allows the dog to rest more comfortably while reducing the pressure that is applied to their hips and joints.
There are a number of manufacturers who make raised dog beds and each one offers something a little different. Coolaroo, Kakadu, Kuranda and Maze are several you can check out. You will find different materials being used for the frames, for the material and for the hardware. Sizes will range from about 15 x 25 inches for toys to about 35 x 50 for extra large breeds.

Some raised dog beds have a piece of material that is secured to the frame (replacements may be available) and can be wiped clean. Others have a special mat or cover that you can place on top of the bed to help keep it clean and for extra cushion. Most beds can be used inside or outside. Some people may have one in the kennel and another inside.
Advantages of a Raised Dog Bed
The traditional dog pillow, in time, will become not only lumpy but smelly and full of germs, mold and mildew and who knows what else. They can’t be cleaned so you have to buy a new one. They lay directly on the cold floor and whatever grossness is in the pillow will eventually end up on your floor.
With a raised bed, your dog won’t be sleeping in dirt or wallowing in odor that has accumulated over the past several rainy months. Either wipe the material clean or take it outside and hose it off. A raised bed will keep the air circulating around the bed and around your dog.

I am sure that you can imagine how hard it would be to get up off the floor; can you imagine how hard it is for your dog especially if they have joint or hip issues? With a raised bed, your dog can step up on to the bed and lay down without the pain they would normally experience. To get up, the space between the top of the bed and the floor allows them to use the bed as a guide and push themselves up.
You can choose a smaller size for your pint sized pooch or a larger size if you have several. Knowing that a raised dog bed benefits the health of your dog should be why the next bed you purchase will be an elevated bed.
