Outdoor & Waterproof Dog Beds

Choosing the right water-resistant dog bed depends on your dog’s habits, size, and the setting where the bed will be used. Here are a few things to look for:

• Size and shape: Measure your dog from nose to tail while standing, then add a bit of extra room to allow for stretching and repositioning.
• Material: Water-resistant and durable fabrics like coated nylon, canvas, vinyl, or polyester are all popular choices. They’re easy to maintain and built for outdoor use.
• Durability: Opt for tear-resistant fabrics and reinforced stitching, especially if your dog chews or plays rough.
• Portability: Consider foldable or lightweight designs if you plan to move it between indoor and outdoor spaces.
• Ease of cleaning: Removable covers or wipe-clean surfaces make ongoing maintenance easier.

Tip: If comfort is your priority, there are a number of accessories you can pair with your water-resistant dog bed, such as dog blankets and dog bed cushions. 

A water-resistant outdoor dog bed can be useful in more situations than you might expect, especially if your dog tends to get wet, dirty, or enjoys napping outside. These beds are designed for practicality without compromising on comfort. Here’s an overview of the different types of exterior dog beds and their benefits:

Tip: During warmer seasons, pair your waterproof bed with a water-repellent cooling mat for dogs. 

Most outdoor dog beds are designed for weather resistance, but it's best to store them under cover or bring them indoors during extreme rain or snow to extend their lifespan.

Not necessarily, as it depends on your specific needs. Elevated outdoor dog beds offer airflow, support, and are easier to clean. They're often chosen to keep dogs cool and off damp or dirty ground.

A waterproof dog bed is a practical choice for everyday life with pets. Its durable, water-repellent materials help protect against damp, muddy paws and accidental spills, keeping the bed fresher for longer. Easy to wipe clean or wash, it’s a convenient option for both indoor and outdoor use, whether placed in the garden, on a patio, or inside the home. With a variety of supportive fillings and cosy designs available, a waterproof dog bed combines comfort for your dog with peace of mind for you.
