Happy Rover’s believes that a pet cot should last as long as the dog. So we have prepared a little guide of considerations to ensure that your purchase is of superior quality and will hold up for years.
Pet Cot 101
* Look for high end furniture grade pipe. This pipe has the precise tolerance to withstand the outdoor elements and the weight of adult humans. It is glossy, will not corrode, yellow or fade and produces a professionally crafted product. It has no printed numbers, is not made with fillers, and is pretty enough to put inside the home too. We offer white and light beige pipe. Please specify your preference. Chewguard beds typically come in white.
* Look for genuine machine washable 1000 Denier CORDURA®. If it isn’t Dupont Invista CORDURA®, it’s not CORDURA®. We offer many colors: Charcoal, Forest Green, Taupe, Wineberry, Spruce (more teal than green), Royal Blue and Brown. During checkout let us know your 1st and 2nd color choice.Colors on the screen may appear slightly different than actual.
* Look for thread that is UV and mold resistant. Make sure it can handle moisture. The cot is only as tough as the thread that holds it together.
* Look for non-skid feet. Potentially, if your pet hops on a cot that moves from beneath them, he gets scared, he won’t trust, he won’t use, you’ve wasted your $$.
* Look for little details. All the seams on our cots are finished. No raw edges anywhere. Attention to even the smallest details means pride of craftsmanship. We don’t cut corners anywhere. The same applies to our packaging and product information.
* Do you have a dog that chews? No problem, we have chew guards, which make surround the perimeter of the frame making the pet cot/bed chew resistant if not chewproof and nearly impossible for a pet to chew through. If this is not a listing for a chew guard bed, please click on the icon

* Expect excellent customer service and satisfaction. If you have questions, specific size requirements or your own fabric email us at happyroverdog@yahoo.com or call 512-225-4267. We offer all of the above and more. In fact, we feel so strongly about providing the best cot available that what we charge our customers for shipping is about half of the cost to ship. We pay the rest!
* We here at Happy Rover’s love animals. Your purchase helps us provide to animals that are not treated as kindly as they should.
* Not sure what size? Measure your pet from the base of the tail to the end of the nose and add 6-7 inches.
* Pet cots/bed elevate your pet off the hot, cold, uneven or damp ground. They prevent damage to the elbows and hocks while giving orthopedic support to joints. Disassemble so you can take it with your pet. Make nice gifts or donations to animals shelters or pet foster homes.
