Manufacturer’s product description
The KingCamp raised dog bed offers a well-thought-out combination of comfort and functionality for dogs and their owners. Thanks to its sturdy steel tube construction, it is designed for a load of up to 60 kilograms , so even larger and heavier dogs can lie comfortably.
The raised design ensures that the dog does not lie directly on the floor and thus benefits from better air circulation, especially in summer. The breathable mesh lying surface dissipates heat and moisture well, while the separate suede mat offers additional comfort and is easy to remove. Particularly practical: the model is available in several sizes, so you can choose the right size for both small and large dogs.
However, the mesh occasionally bends a little more with very active dogs.
Overall, the bed delivers solid performance as a lightweight, weatherproof outdoor and indoor dog bed with plenty of space.
Advantages
- High load capacity up to 60 kilograms
- Raised lying surface
- Suitablefor outdoor use
- Easy to clean
Disadvantages
- Mesh may sag more with very active dogs

The KingCamp raised dog bed makes a functional and well-organized impression when unpacked. It comes directly in a sturdy carrying bag, without an additional cardboard box. The bag contains the steel frame, the breathable mesh lying surface, the separate suede mat, and the non-slip feet —all neatly sorted and undamaged. It is particularly positive that all parts are immediately at hand and there are no small parts lying around. Assembly instructions are not included, but are not needed either, as the bed can be assembled intuitively and in just a few minutes: put the bars together, stretch the mesh, and you’re done. The reduced packaging means less waste, which is a small advantage in terms of sustainability. Overall, the scope of delivery gives a tidy, complete, and ready-to-use impression.
