🚚 Delivery estimate Usually about 8 days 70 lb Weight Rated Steel frame ↺ 30-Day Returns Unused, original box A dog lying on a cushion is lying on an insulator. In summer that's the problem. Dogs shed heat mainly by panting, but a meaningful amount also leaves through the belly and the pads — the thinly furred surfaces pressed against whatever they're lying on. A padded bed traps that heat against them. A raised mesh cot does the opposite: air moves underneath, and body heat has somewhere to go. That's why you'll see a dog abandon an expensive bed in July and sleep on the kitchen tiles. This gives them a better version of the tiles. What it's for, beyond summer Off the cold floor In winter the same 7-inch clearance lifts an older dog off a cold concrete or tile floor. It works both directions. Even pressure Taut mesh distributes weight rather than letting elbows and hips bottom out, which is why cots suit bony older dogs. Hoses clean Nothing absorbs. Mud, drool and rain go straight through and the mesh dries in minutes. Non-slip silicone feet Won't skate across a hard floor or scratch decking. Specifications Frame size 35″ L × 22″ W × 7″ H (89 × 56 × 18 cm) Weight limit 70 lb Fits dogs up to about 35″ nose to tail Surface Teslin mesh — washable, breathable Delivery Usually about 8 days Is this the right size? Measure your dog stretched out on its side, then add a few inches. That number needs to be under 35″. ✓ YES, IF Dog under 70 lb and under 35″ long Hot climate, or a dog that seeks out tiles Outdoor, patio or crate use Older dog you want lifted off a hard floor ✕ NO, IF Dog over 70 lb — see the XL version instead Your dog wants to burrow and nest — a cot is flat and open, and some dogs simply won’t use one Your dog chews fabric — taut mesh is tempting to some You want a soft bed — this is deliberately firm If your dog won’t use it Cots feel unfamiliar — they flex slightly underfoot, which some dogs dislike at first. Put it where your dog already sleeps, drop a familiar blanket on one half so there’s a choice, and feed a couple of meals beside it. Most dogs are using it within a week. Don’t lift your dog onto it. Questions people actually ask Can it live outside permanently?It handles rain and hoses clean, but constant UV will weaken any mesh over a season or two. Under cover it lasts considerably longer. Does the mesh sag over time?Some initial give is normal as it settles. Persistent sagging usually means the dog is over the 70 lb rating. Is assembly hard?Slot the frame together and stretch the mesh over it. Ten minutes. The last corner is always the stiff one — that’s the tension doing its job. Will it scratch my floor?The feet are silicone, so no. They also stop it sliding when a dog jumps on. Can I add a pad on top?You can, and we sell waterproof cot pads separately — but adding a pad removes the airflow that makes a cot worth having in summer. Best in winter, not July.
