Frequently asked questions
Elevated dog beds help dogs rest more comfortably by keeping them off hard or uneven surfaces. The raised design promotes airflow underneath, which keeps your dog cooler in warm weather and prevents moisture buildup. Unlike traditional stuffed dog beds, they don’t trap dirt, dust, or odors, making them cleaner and easier to maintain over time. They also provide consistent, even support that relieves pressure on joints and hips, which can be especially beneficial for older dogs or breeds prone to joint issues.
For the most part, yes. Elevated beds can suit energetic puppies to aging companions. Younger dogs benefit from the durable, supportive surface that encourages healthy posture, while senior dogs appreciate the gentle joint support and the ease of getting on and off the bed without needing to step down into it. The breathable mesh surface also helps dogs with thicker coats stay cool and comfortable through warmer seasons.
Absolutely. The Bluewater Dog Elevated Bed is designed for both indoor and outdoor use. The aluminum frame is rust-proof and corrosion-resistant, so it won’t degrade when exposed to humidity or rain. The performance mesh dries quickly, allowing water to pass through instead of soaking in. It’s ideal for patios, porches, or by the pool, and equally suited for indoor spaces.
The aluminum frame is built to withstand chewing and digging far better than fabric or plastic beds. While no dog bed is completely indestructible, the solid metal construction and reinforced corners make our elevated dog bed an excellent choice for moderate to heavy chewers who have destroyed softer beds in the past. The mesh sleeping surface is tightly tensioned and reinforced, so it won’t sag or tear easily even with daily use.
Cleaning the Bluewater Dog Elevated Bed couldn’t be simpler. Because the sleeping surface sits above the ground, dirt, fur, and debris naturally fall away instead of collecting in the corners. The mesh can be hosed down or wiped with mild soap and water, and it dries quickly in open air. There are no covers or foam inserts to remove or wash, which makes it a perfect low-maintenance option for active dogs or outdoor settings.
To find the best fit, measure your dog from the base of their neck to the base of their tail while they’re lying in their natural sleeping position, then add a few extra inches for comfort. If your dog falls between sizes, we suggest sizing up to accommodate a little extra space that lets them stretch out fully without hanging over the edge.
