Chew Proof
Aluminum Frame

Our Chew Proof Armored™ beds feature a 100% aluminum frame that covers every edge and corner, protecting these vulnerable spots from even the most destructive chewer. The frame also pulls the center fabric tight, leaving your dog with no wrinkles or bunched up material to gather between their teeth.

This bed is sized to fit most standard wire crates and is backed by our 120 Day Chew Proof Warranty.

Ripstop Ballistic
Bed Fabric

Densely-woven (1200D) heavy duty rip-stop ballistic fabric resists punctures and tears from digging and scratching. It has a smooth, slick texture that fur and dirt won’t stick to, allowing you to brush or wipe most messes off with ease. A DWR coating and a waterproof backing keep moisture and odors at bay. 

Elevated Comfort
Maximum Support

This lightweight but sturdy bed can hold up to 250 lbs, ensuring that your pup never feels the floor. The fabric sling will conform to your dog’s body like a hammock, eliminating pressure points and providing orthopedic-style support. Elevating the bed also allows air to freely circulate beneath it and keep your pup cool in the summer.

Make it Unique with
Heat-Transfer Vinyl

Show off your pup's personality with our custom heat-transfer vinyl text! You can add your dog's name in one of six bold colors (handy for keeping track of pads in a multi-dog household) or a short phrase just for fun. Available for our obsidian black, blue quartz, and sandstone color pads.

Please note that personalized crate pads can't be exchanged or returned, so make sure to double check your sizing before placing your order!

Personalization is not scratch- or chew-resistant.

Responsible & Sustainable
For People, Pets, & Planet

The frame for our armored beds is made completely from aluminum, including the powder-coated corners. Aluminum is fully and infinitely recyclable and one of the only materials that takes less energy to recycle than it does to produce new material.

We’ve also engineered our rip-stop ballistic material to be extremely durable, so this bed will far outlast cheap imitations. That means fewer bed purchases for you, less fuel and energy spent on shipping and manufacturing, and less waste that ends up in a landfill.

Frequently Asked Questions

This bed will arrive as a pre-assembled frame and a set of four legs. Simply insert the legs into each corner socket and twist by hand until tight and the bed is ready for use.

The frame and legs are made from 100% aluminum, including the corners (which are simply powder-coated black). The bed sling is made from 1200D ripstop ballistic polyester fabric. The sling has both a PU backing to make it water-resistant and a DWR coating to repel water. Each leg has a rubber foot cap to keep the bed from sliding.

The Chew Proof Armored™ Ripstop Elevated Dog Bed is our original elevated bed. It has no padding, making it an excellent option for dogs that like to eat stuffing, and the ripstop material is both durable and breathable. It will hold up against scratching better than the mesh, while still offering cooling benefits. Unlike the mesh, it also features a waterproof backing to help contain spills.

As per the 120 Day Chew Proof Warranty, we will replace the entire armored bed once free of charge if your dog damages it within the first 120 days of receipt. Store credit for the value of the bed will be provided instead if a replacement is not desired or available.

For more details or to submit a claim, please visit our warranty page.

 Simply wipe the bed down with a damp cloth or scrub away any stubborn spots with soap and warm water. You can also take it outside and hose it down or pressure wash it for a thorough cleaning. Most soaps and detergents are fine, but avoid using bleach—it can damage the frame.

Since this bed has no padding and instead cradles your dog to provide support, it needs to be raised up about three inches minimum from the ground in order to work effectively (bigger, heavier dogs will need more clearance, so larger beds stand taller). While the legs can be removed from the frame, your dog will essentially be on the floor without them and won’t find the bed very comfortable at all.

First, remove the plastic pan or tray from the bottom of the crate. Then slide the bed through the crate door at a diagonal before you add the legs. Once it’s in the crate, reach in and add a leg to each corner socket, twisting by hand until tight. Level the bed out and lower it until the feet touch the floor and it is good to go.

Yes, you can! This bed can be personalized with heat-transfer vinyl text.

To add it, just select the option to add personalization, select the vinyl color and font, and make sure to type in what you want to have personalized. Personalization is case-sensitive and will appear exactly as typed.

For best results, check out our size guide. This bed is designed to fit standard wire crates but crate dimensions can vary slightly by manufacturer, so make sure to compare the actual dimensions of your crate against those for the bed size you’re interested in. The dimensions shown for our beds are exact, and due to their rigid frames these beds will not fit in spaces smaller than their size.

For use outside a crate, measure your dog from the tip of the nose to the base of the tail and use that as the minimum length the bed needs to be for your dog to lie on it comfortably. Remember that the frame takes up an inch of space from each side, so the sleeping area is 2" smaller in each dimension from the total bed size.

We do! You can find our replacement ripstop slings sold separately here.

    Very pleased with purchase

    This large “place” cot was purchased for a one and a half year old chocolate Doberman mix. He is pretty rough with things, a definite chew king. I have been running him beside the four wheeler in effort to avoid destructive habits, with that said, he is NOT attempting to destroy it with excessive scratching and I give him raw hide bones that keep him busy.

    He lays comfortably on it and weighs in at 60 lbs.

    It does not sag more than would be expected, it is very tight. I did put a bathroom rug on it as he really likes that rug.

    Overall, I would give it 5 ⭐️ . I have had no need yet to clean it but it’s obviously an easy clean with a hose or damp rag. I have wood floors so I did put the furniture pads on the bottoms. It arrived on time and well packaged. All I did was screw on the legs. I also had his name put on it. Looks great!

    Very satisfied with this purchase and happy to have come across K9 Ballistics.

    Great experience

    We were recommended this bed by our dog trainer since the vinyl option was out of stock. So far it's held up great. Shipping was fast and customer service was amazing. Definitely would buy again.

    Best dog cot ever!!

    My Dobermans are hard on doggy cots. I do mean hard. They jump on them, drag the around the yard and leap on them. They have destroyed every one up til now!!! These doggy cots were easy to put together, are tough and durable. They have not trashed them yet!! Keeping my fingers crossed. I’m going to order two more in XX large!
