Elevated Dog Beds
A raised pet bed (also called an elevated dog bed) keeps dogs cooler, cleaner and more supported by lifting them off the ground. At Superior Pet Goods, we’ve been designing elevated beds in Australia since 2009. Every bed is built with durability, comfort and real-life practicality in mind, giving pet parents options they can rely on year after year.
Why Choose a Raised Dog Bed?
Large or small, every dog benefits from elevation. Here’s why pet parents make the switch:
Better Airflow & Cooling
Because the bed sits off the floor, air moves freely underneath and around your dog. This natural circulation helps prevent overheating, something that can be all too common for dogs during Aussie summers. An off-the-ground dog bed or dog elevated bed gives your pet a cooler, more breathable place to rest.
Support for Joints and Muscles
Raised beds provide a firm but flexible surface that spreads your dog’s weight evenly. That means less pressure on sore hips, elbows and shoulders. Dogs with arthritis, hip dysplasia or just a little stiffness from age often find relief on an elevated dog bed.
Cleaner and Easier to Maintain
Sleeping on the floor exposes dogs to dust, dampness and pests. An off-ground dog bed keeps them away from the worst of it. Cleaning is easier too – just wipe down the frame, wash the cover, and vacuum underneath.
Made to Last
Our raised beds are designed with strong frames and tough fabrics. From everyday use to active dogs that like to dig or scratch, they’re built to handle it. For extra peace of mind, our Chew-Proof Dog Beds are a great option.
Fewer Pests
Is your dog always bringing in unwanted hitchhikers from the yard? A raised bed can help. Elevation keeps them off the ground and away from fleas, ticks and other pests that like to linger in the grass or soil. It also reduces exposure to damp patches or dirt, giving your dog a cleaner and more comfortable place to rest. It’s a small change that makes a big difference to daily comfort and overall dog wellness.
Handy for Training
Many trainers use raised beds as a designated spot for settling. The defined platform makes it easy to teach dogs where to rest.
Types of Raised Dog Beds
We offer different styles of dog beds that are off the ground to match your dog’s needs:
- Hessian Raised Dog Beds: Traditional, breathable and affordable.
- Canvas/Twill Raised Dog Beds: Hard-wearing, water-resistant, available in colours like camo, mid grey and black.
- Flea-Free Shade Cloth/Textilene Beds: Lightweight, cool and resistant to pests, perfect for summer.
- Small Raised Dog Beds: For smaller breeds who still benefit from airflow and joint support.
- Large/Extra Large Raised Dog Beds: Made for bigger dogs who need more room and stronger construction.
Choosing the Right Raised Dog Bed
Think about your dog’s size and weight, where the bed will live (indoors or outside), and which fabric works best for your climate. Hessian is breathable, canvas/twill is tough and water-resistant, and shade cloth is ideal for cooling. Removable covers with velcro tabs make cleaning and refitting easier, while reinforced frames stand up to dogs who are a bit rough on their bedding.
The Superior Pet Goods Advantage
We’ve been designing raised pet beds in Australia for more than 16 years. Our beds are Australian-designed, made with strong galvanised steel frames and durable fabrics for long-term comfort. And if the cover ever wears out, replacement options are always available. From hessian to heavy-duty flea-free pinstripe, our range has something to suit every dog and every home.
We also know that some big breeds may need the added joint relief of a memory foam dog bed, so we make it easy to find both elevated and foam-filled options in one place. Thousands of pet parents trust us for beds that keep their dogs comfortable, cool and clean.
Give Your Dog the Comfort of Elevation
An elevated dog bed is one of the simplest ways to improve your pet’s comfort. Many customers tell us their dogs adapt quickly to the design of a dog bed off the ground, enjoying the extra airflow and the supportive surface compared to flat floor beds.
Elevated beds also suit multi-dog households as they create clearly defined resting spaces. They work well all year round and, for extra comfort, can be paired with our fitted mats, which are designed to sit neatly on top or be used on their own in kennels, crates or living rooms.
Many pet parents also layer our dog blankets with raised beds for warmth in cooler months. Combined with their long-lasting build and easy maintenance, these beds are a smart choice for every season of the year.
