Coolaroo: Amazon #1 Best Seller!
There’s a reason the Coolaroo Dog Bed is an Amazon #1 Best Seller. On the home page, I mentioned the fact that we have 2 outdoor dog beds…well, these are the beds. It doesn’t matter what type of dog bed you’re talking about: the Coolaroo Dog Bed is one of the top-selling dog beds anywhere, period, and has been since 2015. It is made by Coolaroo and you can check their website here.
These are well designed, easy to put together (once you know the assemble tip…see below) dog beds with a contemporary style. We live in California and our 2 dog beds have been outside in the elements for 4 years and they still look strong and the commercial grade canvas has shown zero signs weathering. This dog bed is very light so its easy to move around your back yard, has rubber feet to grip (protects floors and doesn’t slide) and comes in 3 sizes (small, medium and large). The breathable nylon canvas is water resistant and the steel frame is powder-coated to resist heat. The canvases come in 3 different colors (green, gray and terracotta) to match any decor and is raised about 6 inches off the ground, allowing air to travel underneath the bed to keep your pooch off the hard surface and cool on hot days.
The reviews are overwhelmingly positive for the Coolaroo Dog Bed: out of + 3,000 reviews, 70% are 5 stars and another 18% are 4 stars. Like me and my wife, people have owned these beds for years without any problems. The only minor issue is a rusted screw on the side of the frame. I could easily go to Home Depot and buy a new screw for $0.25 but its still strong and it hasn’t compromised the frame’s integrity (our 105 pound rot still loves it, especially when we hose him down on hot days as it give him a place to dry off).
“Coolaroo Dog Beds are GREAT…they are strong and well constructed. I have several for different area’s of the house (upstairs/downstairs) (bedroom/living room)…easy to clean – great overall product.”
When you read the reviews, there are 2 primary reasons for 1 or 2 star reviews: its difficult to assemble and the canvas ripped. To the former point, yes, I can see how one might find assembling these elevated dog beds a little trick but here’s assembly tip: leave the bolts loose and twist the last leg up to align the holes for the 4th bolt. Believe me, this will save you some frustration but scan some of the other reviews for assembly tips. Relative to ripping canvas, again, we haven’t had any problems with this before and its remarkably strong (though I can see how a long dog nail could potentially puncture it). The good news is that if this happens, the replacement canvases are inexpensive.
Bottom line:
These Coolaroo Dog Beds are built for the long haul and are great values. Due to our positive, first hand experience with these outdoor dog beds, we couldn’t recommend them any higher folks. For more detailed information and reviews (and over 50% off!), check them out here on Amazon!
