Carlson Pet Products Dog Bed

These are one of the only collapsible elevated beds you can find for bigger dogs. I bought 2 of them. They are great for portability reasons as I love have a raised surface for my dog to settle on during training classes or when I'm training out in the yard. It will be excellent for camping because the dogs won't have to lie in the dirt at the campsite. I'm still working on purchasing a cover that I can attach (very few companies make them and most don't have the right size) so for now I made one out of upholstery fabric. The downside to this bed is that I've already had a rivet pop out of the legs on each bed. They still work fine but if too many of these rivets give out it won't be usable. The fabric cover seems durable and is attached well. It really just is the rivets that connect the folding legs that are a problem. If these rivets hadn't come out I would give it 5 stars. Side note: Cabelas offers a collapsible bed that, when on sale, is only $10 more. Cabelas tends to offer higher quality in their products so I would have ordered that one except that it is square, not the rectangle shape that I needed for my space.***UPDATE*** More rivets gave out. I found a repair solution using screws and locking nuts. You need the thickest screws possible that will still fit through the holes otherwise they will bend and eventually break from the strain of a 70 pound dog. I used a #8 cabinet knob screw. 32 x 1 1/2. See pics.

Update after 4 months: We started off really loving this bed for our 55lb (3 legged) dog despite the original tear but, after about 3/4 months of daily use and travel, the legs on one side have busted and he is clearly uncomfortable because he now feels the bar on the bottom after the collapse. It may be an easy fix (looks like the rivets popped out) but I don't think this should have happened so quickly after purchase. I am discouraged to buy another one because I don't want to keep buying these beds a few times a year. We travel full time with our dog so it's imperative that it holds up overtime. I might look at a more expensive bed for him which is a bummer.Original post after one week of use:I love the functionality and flexibility of this dog cot! The reason I am giving it 3 stars is because just a week in, my 55lb dog punctured the bed with a nail (no they aren’t long) just by hopping on so now the small puncture hole is enlarging slowly. The bed is cheap enough to buy another one but I was hoping that it would last longer than a few months. I think if the company offered a sheet that you could wash, that would help the durability I’m sure and it would be great for cleaning purposes.

I like the convenience of the product, I would buy a bigger one as well IF available. I just got 4 and NO promised carrying case. I will be okay if they remember and send the carrying cases for the 4 I just received. A couple times my large dog stood on it wrong and it collapsed (as it is a foldable product) but I still like it for the convenience it provides. I ordered same product through Groupon some time ago and needed a few more for my pack, found on Amazon, so I ordered four. No carrying case though. Last time I got the carrying case too. Hoping the manufacturer sends the carrying case.

My wife really wanted these so we could take them to our RV campsite and let the dogs lay on them. Right now the dogs always lay either on the gravel under the trailer, or in the dirt. We purchased this halfway through the winter to get the dogs a chance to acclimate to them, and hopefully start using them as beds. Sadly, our dogs just do not really use them that much. Unless we put our blankets on there that smell like us still, the dogs want nothing to do with these for very long. It's a little hard for my bigger dog to get on, seems very hesitant to put his weight on it with the first paw.Overall, it's an okay bed if you can get the dogs to climb up. Maybe some will enjoy it more than ours, but it's not something they go to themselves. My wife still has hopes that they will change their mind, but I've all but given up!

Just what we needed. Our older dog gets stiff if we board him while out of town and he doesn’t have a bed to sleep on. We bought this to take with him to the kennel. I was surprised at the size. Probably not sturdy or comfortable enough for an everyday bed, but it’ll be better than him laying on concrete at the kennel while we’re gone. Both dogs are about 65 lbs each and they fit on it together.

This is a great pet bed/cot. We bought this for when we go camping. Our spoiled puppy doesn’t like to lay on the ground when we are all sitting around in our camp chairs. So, this was a perfect solution! It is sturdy, folds up compact and our picky pup loves it. We haven’t gotten a chance to take it camping yet but have tried it out in the house and it works great. We bought the large since the price was about the same as the small and figured it would just give him more room. It is plenty big enough for more than one dog. Great value!

This seemed like it would be a great idea for weekends at the ballpark— portable, light weight and it would keep our lab off the hot ground. Unfortunately, it broke from the weight of our 90 lb lab on the first day of a 3-day tournament (even though we purchased the largest one) so I definitely wouldn’t recommend it for large breed dogs. It’s really too bad. We received lots of comments from other dog owners who thought it was a great idea.

Our Shiba basically claimed one of our camping chairs a few years ago. I've had to pack "her chair" for each trip. This season, we are empty nesters and are trying to cut back on the stuff we bring. I bought this folding bed for our dog as it packs up much smaller than the chair she'd claimed a few years back.It took her a little while to come around to her new bed, but now she loves it.It is just the right size for her, she is a 21lb Shiba Inu who is spoiled...

Bought this for my min pin and dachshund and the both love it. We use it for at home and camping. Each of our fur babies has there own bed on top and the can stay off the ground, especially nice when we are camping. When done, it folds up nice and compact which is also great for travel.Big M

Pre assembled, take it out of the bag, set it up like a lawn chair. Suuuuuper easy. Kinda slippery, but apparently pretty comfy

I have a 45 pound labradoodle and she destroyed the bad in less than 2 hours when she was left alone.The fabric won’t endure a chewing dog. The plastic parts are not hard and easily chewed.The bed is narrower it looks in the photos.Even cheap cushions resist longer that this bed...

Our dog loves this bed! We take it with us when we go ice fishing. Hes a 40lb dog and it supports him well and he has lots of room

Great for outdoors and when I bring my dog to farmers markets as I am a vendor.
