Fur Person Dog Beds

If your dog is required to sleep outside, or if it needs to be outside for extended periods of time you need to consider a waterproof or water resistant dog bed.  What is the difference?  Well, as the name suggests a waterproof bed can be placed anywhere outside and it will not matter if it gets rain or snow on it.  It can be placed next to a swimming pool and it will not become saturated with water if the kids splash water all over it or “accidentally” knock it into the pool.  Unless you are providing this bed so your dog can rest near you while you are enjoying your pool, we recommend that you place such a bed in a dog house, under a car port, in a garage or other similarly protected area to provide shelter from the weather for your pet.

A water resistant bed is also made for use by an outdoor dog.  The bed is not meant to be placed on a patio or deck without a cover nor is such a bed the best choice for a poolside bed.  These types of bed generally have a heavier cover than most indoor beds.  This cover will resist water, but rain or snow would eventually get through.  You need to place this type of bed in a dog house, a garage, or other similarly well protected area.  Such a bed will stand up well to a wet dog lying on it, it will not absorb large amounts of water from your pet.  Better beds of this type have side vents to allow water to escape and the interior of the bed to breath.

If you have an outdoor dog these types of beds are perfect for them.  Your pet needs a comfortable place to sleep and call their own just like the more pampered indoor dogs.
