K&H Pet Products Original Pet Cot Elevated Pet Bed Review

Many people purchase special beds made just for dogs for their pup to sleep on instead of the bed or couches. These beds come in a variety of types and brands. Some are stuffed with foam and other material that dogs can rip apart and destroy in mere minutes.

If you’re tired of coming home to a shredded dog bed, elevated dog beds are extremely popular right now, particularly the K&H Original Pet Cot Elevated Bed.

Why Choose an Elevated Bed?

Elevated pet beds are a great alternative to pillow beds for several reasons. These beds don’t have any stuffing for your dog to rip out of the bed, which is a potential choke hazard.

Older dogs or dogs with arthritis can have a difficult time getting up and down from a pet bed that’s placed on the floor. An elevated bed allows for air to circulate, ensuring your pup won’t get too hot or too cold.

Elevated beds are much easier to clean than fluffy pillow beds. The covers can be removed and washed or just wiped down.
