BarkboxOutdoor Dog Bed - Waterproof Dog or Cat Mattress Bed with Removable Cover - Platform Bed with Washable Cover, Durable, Portable - Indoor/Outdoor All Season Orthopedic Comfort - XL - Blue

Not sure how my dogs will like it in the heat but it’s been great. They love to lay outside on it.

So a little back story, I have aquired for two ex-dairy cats from the dairy next door that have made my home theirs. They have nice insulated dog houses with straw bedding to make our Midwest winters more bearable. I wanted to get them some kind of bed so they could be a little more comfortable on my cold wooden porch when they were out of their houses.I ideally wanted to find a true waterproof (or as close as I could get to one) outdoor pet bed and this one from Bark Box seemed to fit the bill and the price was very reasonable so I purchased it.It came fast, well packaged with a toy and a little paper crown. Too cute! (Gus Dog loved the pea toy but the crown not so much lol.)I opened the package and pulled out the bed and bed cover. The bed itself was folded, rolled then vacuum packed. When I unrolled it, it kept wanting to stay folded. After getting smart, I read the instructions and found that I needed to lay the bed out for 24 to 72 hours so it could reform back to its natural state.This is were it lost a star. After 72 hours, the bed still has a ridge from where it was folded in half. (The first photo was after 24 hours).I decided to put the cover on and see how it went. The cover is very nice, and super easy to get the bed pad into with a generous amount of space. The flap that covers the zipper is awesome. The zipper itself was easy to zip. The bump/ridge was less noticeable and I'll have to see if it goes down when it's used. As a side note, in the picture with the one cat, you can still see a hint of the bump/ridge next to Little Bit.I got the green cover and it's a great shade of green.After I got it all together, I cut the tags off the cover. I glanced at the tags as I was tossing them in the trash and this is where another star should be deducted. On this tag, it states to "tell the cat to get it's own bed".Huh? I bought is bed for cats. Granted the bed is listed as a "pet bed", but then goes on to describe the bed in canine terms. Ok, I can deal with that because I get the Bark Box name thing. After all, it's not Meow Box..... However.... no where in the listing description (doubled checked) does it say no cats.... that is only mentioned on a tag no one really reads.I refrained from taking a star down for this because there is alway a chance I missed some fine print some where and I get that this bed is marketed more for dog use.Anyway, over all the bed looks comfy, the cover looks waterproof or close enough to it and when I put the bed outside for the cats, it was immediately infested with two cats. Texas and Little Bit are happy so in the end that's all that matters.

So I bought this bed and now she lays in the dirt right beside it.Punk mutt.

The tent-like outer material makes the bed good for the outdoors. The inner cushion is a little stiff in the cold (MN) weather, but it softens up with the dog’s body heat. But then our Pyrenees dogs are spoiled already and get a little blanket on top of the bed, too.

Clearly the fabric should stand up to about anything the outdoors can bring. My only complaint is that, due to the way it was packaged, it was so squished at one end that it took about a week to fully expand on that end. I really needed the bed, so it was a pain to wait that long. Very firm bed. Should hold up well in my pooches' dog house.

As described, but my dog did not like the stiffness of it. Picky dog

We run a dog training company and are always looking for comfortable pads to place in the dogs kennels that are truly orthopedic and will keep dogs comfy. This bed has been awesome and has held up nicely. Even when dogs have had accidents or have a water bowl party the inside of the bed stays dry and is easy to rinse any mess off. We have about 6 medium beds and the large as well. One cover had to get tossed due to a dog digging at it. I wonder if they sell cover replacements.My only complaint is I wish the XL bed was bigger but we will continue to purchase these beds. Great bed for the price.For those wanting a chew proof bed look into k9 ballistic beds however they are 300$ and up. We have some of those too however they are not waterproof like these beds.

My bulldog loves this bed! Easy to remove cover that is machine wash/air dry. Great for dogs that get super zoomies and use their bed as a launching pad lol

We use it as an outdoor bed for camping, cleans off easily and holds up well to our dog ‘digging’ in it. Would buy again

Amazon can't replace the item. Barkbox can't replace the item. This was bought as a crate pad for a long international flight, and because of the poor customer service on both amazon and bark's end, i have to go out and buy something else just to have something in time. Zip is broken and completely unusable, there's two burn??? mold???? spots??? on the bed itself, and threads are unravelling. If i wanted a used product, i would have rummaged through the garbage instead. One star is too high of praise for everything I've been through with both amazon and barkbox regarding this.

See as above.

I bought this bed for outdoor use and it’s a very durable, waterproof material. Definitely what I was looking for! I’m slightly disappointed by the size however, it is smaller than I expected. I ordered a large as the description said a large was good for dogs under 65 lbs. My dog is 56lbs and we should have gotten the XL. Size up for sure!
