Pet beds and cots are popular forms of pet furniture that give your furry friend a comfortable place to sleep, though they do so in slightly different ways. Pet cots are a form of elevated pet beds while most other pet beds are either wall mounted or cushioned to rest directly on the floor. Pet cot beds are a popular choice for pets who enjoy sleeping outdoors as they can lift your pet off the ground and receive sun shelter from a pet cot canopy. You can use pet cots inside the home as well to help aging pups sleep better who have joint pain and arthritis while providing better temperature control. By using an elevated pet cot, your pet is lifted off cold floors and enjoys better air circulation to cool them in warm temperatures. For high surfaces, you may want to invest in a pet ramp or a pet step to help some pets climb up who may have difficulties moving or who may be quite small.
The best pet beds offer insulation with comfy, pillow-like structures for all sorts of domestic pets, and some are wall-mounted for curious critters who enjoy a view. Most pet beds offer decorative options so you can blend the bed into your decor or match it with your style. You might find pet beds with pillows, cat caves for kitties, or basket-style beds for your pet to snuggle into.
