Outdoor Dog Beds & Dog Cots

1. Just because Rover always has his coat on doesn't mean he likes sleeping on the cold ground. Outdoor dog beds use a dog's natural body heat to control his comfort zone. Water-resistant dog pillows and dog cots keep Rover happy and clean.

2. Dogs run hotter than people, which explains why they seek the sunny spot. Heated dog beds warm to a cozy 105 degrees, perfect for your pet pal. Low wattage heated dog pads use about the same electricity as a night light.

3. Outdoor dog beds for small dogs provide the cozy boundaries your little guy needs to feel secure. Extra large dog beds make sure nobody's lanky legs dangle over the edge. Most outdoor dog beds also come in Large (Labrador), Medium (Collie), Small (Corgi) and Extra Small (that taco dog).

4. Outdoor dog cots use knitted polyester that's breathable and soft, but doesn't hold moisture. It won't mildew like cotton, and it's UV-treated so it loves the sun. You can wash polyester dog cots with a hose, and they dry in minutes.

5. Hard surfaces are tough on leg joints of heavier dogs. Large dog pillows protect their coat, skin and joints from abrasion. You can see in their eyes how much creaky old dogs appreciate a cushy outdoor dog pillow.

6. Dog lovers are nature lovers too. While you're making life sublime for Fido, do the Earth beneath him a favor with an eco-friendly dog bed. Toxin-free foam filling and recycled fabric covers are as comfortable as they are sensible.

7. If your dog isn't using his outdoor dog bed, it might be too far from the family. Dogs like to be where people are, so move the dog cot or bed within a few feet of your deck, porch or patio. He'll come around.

8. Waterproof dog beds protect fabric from the elements, and from dog juice too. Drooling is a part of grooming, and older dogs just plain leak. Water-resistant dog beds clean easily, and odor absorption is a blessing for both of you.

9. Dogs have a notoriously short memory, thankfully. But your pet will remember how sweet it is to snooze on a memory foam outdoor dog bed. Memory foam conforms to lanky legs and tender ribs for balanced support without sore spots.

10. Dogs love the sun, and outdoor dog beds are made to resist fading from UV rays. It's best to keep your dog cot or bed in the shade, though, because even through all that fur a dog's skin will sunburn.
