    Best all round elevated bed

    The Coolaroo Elevated Pet Bed is a well-known elevated dog bed that has earned the love of many dogs and dog owners. It's made with HDPE fabric, which is what shade structures are made from. How often do you replace the shade canopy over your pool? Not very often, I presume, because this material is made to resist the extreme sunshine, rain, wind and mildew damage it will inevitably face. Since the Coolaroo is made from such durable material, it's practically weather-resistant. That means that no matter how much rain, sun or snow (or muddy paws) it's exposed to, this bed won't deteriorate or get moldy. It comes in small, medium and large sizes, and there four colors to choose from. With 17,500 ratings on Amazon, this bed is popular for a reason.

    Elevated bed with canopy

    If your dog tends to overheat in warm weather, has dark fur, or there isn't much shade in your backyard, the K&H Coolin' Pet Cot and Pet Cot Canopy are for you! The cot and canopy are sold separately by K&H, but they make a great combination for any dog that needs a little extra sun or rain protection. The pet cot and canopy are both made from strong, weather-resistant materials that can withstand sitting in the sun or rain for long periods. There are three sizes to choose from: small, medium and large. The canopy is easy put up or down, and both the cot and canopy can be cleaned with the spray of a hose or by being wiped down. We think this duo is a great choice for dogs that live outside but need a little extra weather protection.

    Chew proof elevated bed

    If you have a destructive pup who sleeps outside, there's really no chance of a dog bed that lasts through the weather and your dog's teeth and claws. That is, unless you have a K9 Chew Proof Armored Elevated Dog Bed. This bed is designed with cantankerous dogs and hazardous weather conditions in mind. It's made with Ballistic rip-stop fabric that has a durable water-repellent finish, and it comes with a Chew Proof Armored Warranty that covers damage caused by chewing, digging or scratching within the first 120 days of buying the bed. This bed can be used indoors or outdoors, and aside from being dog and weather-proof, it's also super comfortable for your dog. The K9 Chew Proof bed comes in five sizes and five colors and patterns, and we love that it's one of the most durable dog beds on the market.

    Outdoor heated bed

    Outdoor dogs usually stay outside all year round, including the cold months. While that's fine for breeds that are used to the cold, some dogs feel cold a lot more than others. And since we love our furbabies very much, we want them to be comfortable and happy. So how do you keep your outdoor dog warm? With the K&H Lectro-Soft Outdoor Heated Bed. This bed is made specifically for dogs that live outside, however it should only be used inside a kennel, garage, shed or on a veranda (as it's electric). It uses an internal thermostat to maintain a surface temperature that matches the body temperature of your dog, and it has an interior layer of plastic to protect the inside of the bed from any moisture or accidents that might occur. You can add the faux fleece cover that comes with the bed to make it extra soft and comfortable for your dog, but keep in mind that if your dog chews things, don't get this bed! We love the K&H Lectro-Soft Outdoor Heated Bed as a way to keep your outdoor dog warm in cold weather.

    Tough nesting bed

    If elevated beds don't do it for your dog and they prefer something soft to snuggle into, the K9 Ballistics Tough Rectangle Nesting Dog Bed is a great option. This bed is made with strong K9 Ballistic rip-stop waterproof fabric, which can withstand the chewing, scratching and digging of the most determined dogs. It is coated in a K9 waterproof membrane and has an inner mattress protector, which makes it able to tolerate some moisture and occasional spills. Although this bed is made with extra tough material, it is better suited to being put inside kennels or in sheds, garages or verandas rather than in the garden in direct contact with the weather. Customers on Amazon love how easy it is to keep this bed clean, and that's a bonus with an outdoor bed. When it gets really dirty, chuck the cover in the washing machine. Your dog will thank you for getting such a comfortable outdoor bed.
