Coolaroo Large Pet Bed - Green With Black Frame
These are GREAT pet beds! - We have one for each of our two Labradors and they just love 'em! BTW, there IS a subtle trick to assembling them; i.e., you MUST keep ALL bolts loose right up to the final one that connects the second of the two spreader bars to the leg frames. When you're ready to insert the last bolt, situate the bed so that only three legs touch the floor...

nice bed but destructible
Many reviews about this bed were right on ... great concept and dog loved it. It was not that hard to put together but it did help to have 2 people. While the quality was good, I need to let others know that it is not one of those indestructible beds. We have a nearly year old shepherd/husky mix that is also new to us. Great dog but is still finding things to destroy...

Coolaroo Large Pet Bed - Green With Black Frame, December 23, 2007
This review is from: Coolaroo Large Steel-Framed Pet Bed, Brunswick Green (Misc.)
These are GREAT pet beds! - We have one for each of our two Labradors and they just love 'em! BTW, there IS a subtle trick to assembling them; i.e., you MUST keep ALL bolts loose right up to the final one that connects the second of the two spreader bars to the leg frames. When you're ready to insert the last bolt, situate the bed so that only three legs touch the floor and, then, LEFT THAT LAST LEG UP ABOUT SIX INCHES - JUST ENOUGH TO RELIEVE THE STRESS IN THE COOLAROO FABRIC!!! Then wiggle that LAST bolt through the leg frame into the crossbar and tighten it JUST enough to hold the entire assembly together. FINALLY, using a couple of phone books or someone's "spare foot", keep the corner diagonal to the one with the last bolt you just "wiggled" into place DOWN ON THE FLOOR and s.t.r.e.t.c.h. the cover taut by forcing the LAST LEG DOWN onto the floor and into proper alignment with the other three legs! ... NOW! - TIGHTEN ALL THE BOLTS! ... Simple, huh?

Size Info., June 28, 2007
I initially ordered the medium Coolaroo based on a review from someone with a 60lb. dog. Unfortunately, it's much too small for my 50lb. lab mix, so I'll have to exchange it for the large bed.
From the front of the box for the size Medium bed:
"For Medium Dogs - Beagle, Border Collie, Bull Terrier, Cocker Spaniel, Kelpie, etc."
Looks like a nice bed, but it would have been helpful to have the above info. in the description...

Cool Idea, July 12, 2006
We have two large pet beds for my 75 lb. dalmation and 120 lb. lab. My dogs love them! They stay fairly clean because the dirt/dust sifts right through the loose weave in the fabric which also allows the air to circulate and the dogs stay cooler. I keep them on my carport and when it rains and the water runs in on the concrete floor, the raised bed and dogs stay dry and comfortable. I have just adopted a new stray mother dog and plan to keep her and one of her pups. I ordered 2 additional Coolaroos for them today. A great product - wish I'd thought of it first!

My 120 lb. lab loves this bed, December 11, 2006
My 120 lb. lab has used this bed during his outside time every day for over two years. I am replacing it now because he has managed to wear a small hole into the center of the material. No bother, I am more than happy to spend another $25.00 for a replacement, I spend much more for his indoor beds that hardly last a year. No complaints about the structural sturdiness either, we haven't had any problems at all. He can lie comfortably, with a bit of room left over if he wants to really stretch out, although his feet tend to dangle over the sides a bit when he does. We live in a hot climate and my dog would rather lie on this bed than any other shady spot of the yard. One of my favorite things about this bed is that is cleans so easily, just hose it off and let dry. Every few weeks I go over it with a soft brush and some soap - cleans beautifully!

A Trick To Assembling THIS Pet Bed ..., December 6, 2007
I've assembled three of these puppies (Pun Intended!) so far, and, right at the end of the job, there's a trick ya' gotta' do! ... FIRST! - verify that EACH and EVERY bolt is loose enough to warp the frame slightly; i.e., with a phone book or someone's foot (!) on ONE of the corners, lift UP the DIAGONALLY-OPPOSITE corner JUST enough to align the (final) bolt hole in the cross member with the (final) bolt hole in the support frame!!!
Then, just thread the LAST remaining bolt through and tighten it just a little! ... FINALLY, PUSH ALL four corners down onto the floor and into alignment - use MORE phone books or ONE of your remaining "free" arms! ... THEN finish tightening up ALL the bolts!
PLEASE NOTE THAT, when you align ALL four legs evenly on the floor, the fabric tightens up considerably! CONVERSELY, lifting ONE of the legs up allows the fabric to slacken just enough to line up that final bolt! Trying to assemble this thing with all four legs "in the same plane" of alignment down on the floor is an exercise in futility AND utter frustration!
BTDT! ... BEST Regards AND GOOD LUCK!

Solved our skin and flea problems!, July 23, 2007
This review is from: Coolaroo Large Steel-Framed Pet Bed, Brunswick Green (Misc.)
Four years ago, our 95 pound Siberian Husky was having terrible skin problems around his "elbows" and he was occasionally pestered by fleas. Since purchasing this bed, his skin has cleared up and we no longer have to treat him for fleas at all. We did replace the cover 2 years ago, and every once in a while we have to remember to tighten the screws, but aside from those minor maintenance issues, we love this bed! It is also lightweight enough to carry around from place to place easily (he likes to be near us all the time) and has rubber tips suitable for indoor floors. Can't say enough about it!

Excellent product - both dogs love them., June 17, 2007
We bought two of these for our dogs and have had them outside for well over a year now. We live in Seattle, lots of rain, and they haven't mildewed a bit. One dog is 60 lbs, the other 30 lbs, and we bought two medium beds. The dogs love them, and once it's warm enough, they both lay on their beds side by side in the sun. We just bought some property, and we're going to buy two more.

nice bed but destructible, July 2, 2008
This review is from: Coolaroo Large Steel-Framed Pet Bed, Brunswick Green (Misc.)
Many reviews about this bed were right on ... great concept and dog loved it. It was not that hard to put together but it did help to have 2 people. While the quality was good, I need to let others know that it is not one of those indestructible beds. We have a nearly year old shepherd/husky mix that is also new to us. Great dog but is still finding things to destroy from time to time. What seemed to happen with the bed is when he jumped on it, his nails could work through the material and that gave him a great place to begin the destruction. The first night was quite productive for him as by morning he had several holes ranging in diameter from 2 inches to 5 inches. This produced a hazard as we were then concerned about injury from legs falling through the holes and such. He also discovered the exposed corners that made some great chewing as well. Before buying, make sure your dog is passed the destructive stage. We have returned the item and hopefully will get a refund from Amazon.

Great product, August 3, 2006
This is a great product. Goes together easily and our dog loves it. It's sturdy enough for our 90 lb labrador and probably could hold a lot more. My wife and I got to reclaim our lounge chairs now that our "pal" has his own and he does indeed use it a lot.

My dog loved it!!!, September 12, 2007
This review is from: Coolaroo Large Steel-Framed Pet Bed, Brunswick Green (Misc.)
We saw the Cool a Roo at a local pet store being used by some dogs. They seemed SO comfortable. We went home and found it at Amazon.com. Our beloved Boxer Deuce was diagnosed with terminal cancer the day after I ordered it. He was uncomfortable and not resting. The CoolaRoo came in and i set it up for him. He instantly climbed up on it and looked relaxed for the first time since he got sick. He slept on the Cool a Roo EVERY night for 3 weeks till he passed away. Thanks Cool A Roo for making his last few weeks better.
