Choosing an outdoor dog bed
Choosing a comfortable outdoor dog bed for your furry friend to use in the backyard comes with some caveats, as it needs to be durable and weather-resistant. Things to think about, aside from comfort, include mold resistance, fade resistance, and its ability to be washed.
Some good choices include elevated cot-style beds, heavy-duty canvas beds, and waterproof mats. An elevated cot will keep your pet off hot, cold, and wet ground while providing maximum air circulation. A canvas bed could be appealing to a dog who sleeps in its own bed inside, while a cushioned, waterproof mat made of vinyl or treated nylon could be ideal for senior dogs.
When placing the bed, make sure it's in a spot that's ideal for your dog, paying attention to where they naturally like to rest, whether that's out in the sun or under a covered or shaded area. While outside, provide fresh water and a place for your pet to retreat to if they need to get out of the elements. Last but not least, always supervise your dog while outside and let them in when they're ready to go back in the house.
