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.

Ventilated
Mesh Sling

This heavy-duty mesh sling is made to be extremely durable and will withstand far more wear-and-tear than standard mesh beds. Tiny gaps between the woven polyester allow air and water to pass through, making this an excellent bed for outdoor or summer use, as well as a comfortable option for any dog that tends to overheat.

The open weave of this material can make it more vulnerable to abrasion damage, so it is not recommended for dogs that like to dig.

Elevated Cooling
Comfort & Support

This lightweight but sturdy bed can hold up to 250 lbs, ensuring that your pup never feels the floor. The mesh 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 wick away body heat, keeping your pup cool and comfortable.

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 mesh 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 mesh bed sling is made from 100% polyester. 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.

Definitely not! The mesh sling was purposefully designed with an open weave that allows fluid to pass through with ease. This bed is perfect for use in wet environments, as it will not allow puddles to sit on the surface of the bed.

 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.

Unfortunately, it isn’t possible to personalize this particular bed. We use heat-transfer vinyl lettering to personalize the elevated beds, and the open weave of the mesh sling simply isn’t compatible with this application process. For a personalizable elevated bed, check out our Chew Proof Armored Ripstop Elevated Dog Bed or Chew Proof Armored Padded Elevated Dog Crate Bed.

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.

    Fantastic customer service

    I have bought over the years over 10 beds for my German Shepherds and Dobermans. I have been very satisfied with them. My last order, I ordered 2 more beds. week after, one of my Shepherds dug a hole in the bed. I took a picture and called the office, and in 1 weeks' time, I had a new replacement bed.

    Thank you for keeping your guaranty promise.

    Super Bed, but can’t withstand digging

    This bed is so wonderful for my 70 pound, 9 mo old black lab. He runs hot, and this bed gives him excellent airflow and keeps him cool, and is super comfy and form fitting. Only problem is that within a week he dug through the mesh. Thankfully K9 Ballistics offers an incredible warranty!

    Thanks for your review, Jeanne! In regards to getting him used to the bed, we recommend treating it the same as you would train a dog the "Place" command. If you're not familiar with that one, there are plenty of online tutorials and videos you can check out—the main thing is to slowly extend the amount of time you have your dog spend on the bed. The longer he's trained to stay on it, the more used to it and comfortable he'll become, until he's choosing that place to go all on his own.

    Another thing you can try doing is setting the bed up in a common area where the TV (or other entertainment source) is, encourage him to lay on the bed, and then sit down right next to him and watch or play something on the TV for awhile. Pet him and give him positive attention while he stays with you on his bed; this will give him lots of positive associations with the bed and help him learn that it is a good place for him to rest and relax.
