What is the height of the lower mattress to the oblong facing? Does a dog have to "duck under" to get to the lower bunk? Could a German Shepherd get in and out of that space?

I had to return my co-sleeper bed because my dogs would not even go near it. But I did think it was nicely made and a good idea. I don't know the exact size of the lower bunk but a German Shepherd could not get in and out of the lower bunk. That space is best for a small dog under 25 lbs or a cat. And even the small dog would have to "duck". If the German Shepherd is not too big, he could fit in the top bunk but may need help getting in and out.

Oooooh! Short answer = I don't think so. Height is 8 inches and would be a snug fit. That said, the top "bunk" is open air and stands around 18 - 20 inches from the floor. I have little ones - 4, and I have a foot stool for them to jump on and then up to the top bunk - works perfectly. Mine REALLY love the bunks. Best of luck!

yes, it is a bit lower than the entrance to a kennel carrier, but for a german shepherd it would be a bit of a "duck under" If your dog likes "cave-like" places it would work, my shepherd tends to prefer the top.

May be small underneath for a German Shepherd; top bunk should be fine. Our large dogs sleeps on top and 2 minature Aussies underneath

I'm not sure what you mean but my beagle does not use the lower bunk.she jumps up onto top bed.it would be a tight fit for a german shepard .especially on the bottom.I would yes yes to your question about ducking under for the bottom if it is a german shepard

This would be better suited for a small to medium size dog. I use it for 2 of my cats. I think it's too small for a German Shepard.

It is just under 13 inches. A small dog (I'd guess about 20 lbs & under) would not have to duck. Most dogs would probably have to duck. The space is too small for a German Shepherd. My lab is about 60 lbs now and can only comfortable curl up on top and can't lie stretched out on her side.

No, I do not think a german shepard could get in and out of the lower bunk. The one that I have is an enclosed bunk that zips shut... both of my chihuahuas fit under there. I also have 2 smaller boxers (50lbs) and they cannot fit under there at all.

I do not think a German Shepherd could easily fit in the lower bunk. It is close to the floor and not very high.

My guess would be no, because the dog would be sitting upright. You can find a carrier with a flat bottom, and the dog will be much more comfortable.

We have not found that the case for ours. It doesn't stand straight up, but it is open enough that our burrow loving pup can get right in there. It is the best thing we ever bought for this dog - she sleeps and therefore we can sleep! We remembered this lesson when we forgot it once when out of town.

I measured: The depth is 8 3/4".My 11 year old Terrier was trained to it in less than 5 days. I used Low Fat/Salt Bologna. (LOL). She uses it now without prompting or treats 100% of the time. Got it because my bed is 32" high & I was getting really concerned how the jumping was affecting her joints. Very easy to assemble. Very happy I made the purchase.

I think a standard schnauzer would be quite crowded in this seat. If he wants to sit up all the time it might work okay, but not enough room to lie down. My 20# Sheltie is a tight fit but loves being up high and looking out the window.

It's only 4 inches from the floor, perfect for my little dachshund but may not work for a dog with difficulty getting low.

Measuring the inside where the dog would sleep is 23.5in. by 20 in. I have a Scottish terrier and he loves this bed!

I did not measure the lower bunk, but it is approximately the same size as a full bed. I can't measure it because I gave it to my son and it isn't here at my house any longer.

I have a small, but older, dog (12 pounds). Fine for two steps but not a typical bed. You need something longer to reduce the angle. A dog might run up it but would probably fall on the way down.

Not sure but I'm very satisfied with the deluxe. I have a 20lb pug and she has more than enough room and loves to be up high to see outside.

I agree dogs need comfort to. I have a huskie that is 13 so i understand how you feel. I got laughed at when I bought her one of the memory foam. I even got her the 3" thick one since there is no mattress under her. So my answer is yes. :)

Just to chime in on your comment about owning Great Danes!I have three Great Danes. My girl lives and sleeps on the CoolAroo bed. The first month the frame began to "bend" and warp as she was waaaaay to heavy. So, I gave the bed to my daughter who has a French Bulldog and its perfect for her. I had my carpenter make a custom wood bedframe and got a mattress covered in Sunbrella fabric for the danes. Perfect!

Hi, this bottom of the bottom shelf is 11 inches from the floor. The dog should have plenty of room.

The bed is pretty big! Not sure how big your crate is, but the bed would not fit in the large one we had...plus, how would the dog get in and out of it in the crate?

I have a german shepherd and he was 6 weeks and 9lbs when we got him and the bed. and now he is almost 4 months and about 40lbs. He can barely fit in it and he still likes it without the inner cushion. Hope that helps some

I don't think she will have a hard time getting in and out. Our dog is 13 1/2 and he loves it. Actually I am thinking it would be easier than a soft bed, since she won't sink down when stepping on it. Our Barney does not like changes, and he was used to soft beds, so at first he was skeptical to lay on it, but I simply removed the old one. Now, I think it's his favorite.

The distance is 33.25 inches. I'm 6'1 and can get into the bottom bunk with predictable ducking. The mattresses we have look similar size as the stock picture.
