A raised cot for large dogs, on a steel frame that doesn't flex under weight. The fabric bed is taut and slightly giving, which spreads a dog's weight rather than concentrating it on hips and elbows the way a hard floor does.
Standing a few inches off the ground keeps air moving underneath. Dogs who run warm, or who lie in one position for long stretches, tend to settle better on a cot than on a padded bed for exactly that reason.
The surface wipes clean — no washing, no drying time.
