Coolaroo Elevated Pet Bed Review
Pet beds are a great purchase. They can be cleverly
designed with a variety of amazing colors, structure, and support for your
dog, all of which both give your dog a tremendous amount of comfort and help
improve the décor of your home.
But these same products are not right for all dogs.
It is not that some dogs are more refined than others. It is that some dogs
need to chew, and dogs that chew have a tendency to destroy many of the more
elaborate dog beds that are available. For dog owners, the choices are to
get a fancy, expensive pet bed that may be destroyed within the month, or to
get a strong, durable pet bed that will last.
Still, even the durable pet beds can be a bit
pricy. That is why many people choose to purchase the Coolaroo Elevated Pet
Bed instead.

Pros
The Coolaroo Elevated Pet Bed is more durable than
most standard beds bed. It is designed to be taken anywhere, as it can fold
into itself very easily and be placed both inside and outside. The material
of both stand itself and the fabric is strong, and it is great for the
environment. It can also withstand chewing fairly well, as there is no
stuffing like there is with other beds. The elevation also makes it
comfortable for most dogs. Also, the Coolaroo Elevated Pet Beds are less
than half the cost of some of the other durable indoor/outdoor beds.
Cons
There is a reason that it is priced lower than some
of the other beds – it is not as
durable. While the bed holds up very well against weather, it holds up much
worse against chewing. The Coolaroo Elevated Pet Bed is not a good choice
for aggressive chewers unless you are on a tight budget. Also, as with most
of these durable beds, the design is bland and not very exciting. In
addition, there have been reports of animals that found it somewhat
uncomfortable, especially cats.
Overall Impressions
The Coolaroo Elevated Pet Bed is probably best as a
travel bed. As a main bed, it does withstand weather very well, but it
doesn’t withstand chewing enough to promote using it as an indoor bed, and
if your dog doesn’t chew, there are other beds you can get for the same
price. It is a great item for those that need a travel/outdoor bed for their
non-chewing dogs, and it is very easy to clean and store and much less
expensive than its competitors. Just be warned that if you are purchasing it
because your dog is an aggressive chewer, there are other options you should
use instead.
