DOPEDIO Elevated Dog Cot Bed, 43.3 Inches, Black, raised, outdoor

Teslin mesh stretches across a coated steel frame on this elevated dog bed, and the sleeping surface sits 7.9 inches above the floor. That surface measures 43.3 by 31.9 inches. Puppies, adult dogs and senior dogs can all use it, and the manufacturer lists indoor and outdoor settings among its recommended uses. Air moves under the raised cot because of the gap between mesh and ground, and the mesh itself is breathable, lets water pass through and resists UV damage.

Setting up the raised dog cot

No tools are needed for assembly, and the parts snap together within minutes. Once it is up, the cot works outdoors as well as indoors.

The support legs use a stronger design for stability and durability. Softer silicone makes up the feet, and a special treatment on them improves their non-slip properties.

What the Teslin mesh and steel frame provide

The sleeping surface is Teslin mesh, which is breathable and lets water through. It also resists UV damage and dries quickly without leaving stains or odours behind.

Coated steel forms the frame, and a non-skid bottom is among the bed's special features. Raising the bed off the ground lets air circulate around the mesh. Assembly calls for no tools, and the cot is listed as chew resistant.
