One of the things I like about these cots vs a regular dog bed is there’s no inner stuffing. Since we raise puppies we almost always end up with a piddle or two on our doggy beds. When it gets into the stuffing it’s pretty much there to stay.

My only concern for an older dog is sometimes their balance is not as good and they may not like the elevated feeling of this bed versus a standard plush dog bed.

All of our dogs have to sit and wait for their food too (the old timers aren’t too good at it anymore, but that’s more a reflection on us then them). I always notice that meal time is a good time to work on training. It seems like puppies will do anything for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

No sun damage after a couple months outside is very good. We had a popup chair we left outside for several months and the canvas material broke down and tore I think mostly from the sun beating down on it day in and day out. I’m glad Remy gives you a break once in a while. I’m sure that’s after his afternoon jog 🙂

That article helped me out not to remove Tar from dog fur, but from my human foot! 🙂
