Tips Over When Dog Tries to Get In It - More Appropriate for a Cat
581111
The bed disappointed me, but more importantly, it disappointed my dog.  He ended up sleeping on the hardware floor next to the bed.  When my dog (a 6 1/2 pound Chi) tried to get in it, it flopped over on him.  When I first placed him in it, he was content.  But then he tried to get up and resettle himself, the bed flopped in on him, and he got out.  Then he couldn't get back into the bed becasue it would flip over on its side.  He tried all sorts of maneuvers, then gave up and laid down on the floor.  The bed that I received does not sit flat on the floor as shown.  It's rounded and causes the bed to be unstable.  I'm not sure if mine is defective, but I read one other reviewer who said the bed flopped in on his dog.  I've thrown out the box already and hate the chore of returning things.  I'll take it to the shelter this weekend and donate it.  I think it will be good for a cat, not a dog.

This is good for a smaller animal that likes the enclosed area when the lid is shut.  It turned out to be a bit too small for my cats that were 12 lbs. and up.

Our dog loves this bed.  She lives on it.  Unfortunately the cat has now discovered it and we have to block the area so that cat doesn't hop on it when the dog leaves.

It was a bit tight on our cat but he was still able to wiggle out of it.  He is a Houdini for sure!  I can't use it and to send it back would be just as expensive as the cost of the harness so I will keep it and see if any other dog owner wants it.

Thanks anyway.

The arm holes are located too far back, making it not fit the dog/cat correctly.  If they were just a bit more on the belly side, they'd fit better.  That being said, the cat looks really cute wearing it.

My cat (16 lbs) won't go in if the top is on. The top is only good after he goes, to keep the dogs from eating his poop.

This is great for my dogs and cats. I like the colors and the style. The only con is that you need to be careful picking up because the legs don't stay on well

My cat likes it a lot and can snuggle in the bed.  When she wants to stretch out though, it's a little tight for her.  Still, it keeps her out of the dog's bed, so I consider it a success!

Nice but needs to be held down in order for my dog to crawl in on his own. I've thought about adding a piece of wood or some beanbags to the bottom, otherwise it tips as he tries to get in if I'm not helping him. Might just be my dog though.

I just received this item today- I was happy to find it for a better price than I saw it available for at other places. the purpose in ordering was to keep my dogs out of the kitty litter (yuck! why DO they do that??!!) - however, upon first review, I have to say I'm not sure this is going to help. The top doesn't really secure to bottom in any way- it just sort of sits on top, no latches or snaps or anything to really keep it together. The size of it is great if a bit awkward- so that part is fine, but I'm going to have to find a way to secure the top somehow, otherwise I imagine the dogs will just knock it off, which defeats the specific purpose I purchased for. I'm not sure in hindsight I would order this now that I've gotten a look at it. but I'll give it a try.

Well, the gate keeps my basset hound out of the cat box, unless the kitty door is open.. which she fits through as easily as the cats! Which makes things a bit interesting for the cats, instead of using the door they have to jump over, which meant i had to create a step for my older cat who doesnt jump as well as he used to.

Cat likes it but anything bigger than a tiny kitten will tip it over and possibly run away from it in fear.  My very large cat knocks it over all the time...

Got this so my cats could have a room to where they could get away from our newest addition, a 60lb German Shepherd/Doberman.

It's decent quality, but as we didn't want to actually screw the gate into the door frame, it's not the sturdiest of pet/baby gates. When we try to tighten the gate to make it more sturdy, it puts too much pressure on the door latch so the door becomes useless and won't open. I'm sure it would be great if you were willing to screw it into the frame of the doorway

As for the tiny pet door, it didn't take more than a few minutes before we learned that our 60lb Doberman Shepherd can easily wiggle her way through it, which greatly upset the cats, as you can imagine. With some training, we put a stop to that, but it's still not comforting knowing that she can get in there whenever she pleases. Kind of defeats the purpose.

I have mixed emotions about this as a cat bed, although I have used the Coolaroo dog cot for my dog before and she loved it!  I got this because my cat keeps sleeping on my mesh desk chair and I thought I could persuade her to move, but it only reinforced my naivety in trying to manage a cat.  But as a test case, I will say that the price was right.

As to the bed itself, it arrived in perfect condition but first I thought I was making a mistake in the way I tried to assemble it because it sat cockeyed and I had a very hard time trying to straighten it out.  Mostly it took persistence and three arms to get it to sit flat on the floor.  You have to know to tighten the screws as much as possible while sitting atop the bed with a foot on one corner.  I'm not surprised that the instruction sheet left this part out, although the instructions on the whole were sketchy.  Anyway, once assembled it is nice and tight, and from experience I know that it will sag over time with use... so tight is good.

My cat is a dick and has taken it upon himself to tip any and every water dish he is given, or pushing it to the point that all the water spills out. As a result, I've mostly relegated him to drinking out of the toilet, which isn't the healthiest to ensure he actually gets enough water. Fortunately, this dish is constructed so it can't be tipped by my cat and he's actually enjoying drinking out of it. The supposedly "non-skid" bowl can actually be moved a little bit with a concerted effort by my cat, so I could imagine a large dog would push this over and could tip it by getting his snout underneath. If you have a large dog this might be made less tippable by attaching sandbags in the empty space under the bowl or mounting the bowl to a block of concrete.

The sizing is very inaccurate. The 96-ounce bowl holds maybe 64 ounces filled up to the brim. Order one size up.

This is a good set of pet stairs for the price compared to what similar other pet steps cost. However my elderly cat had nothing to grip onto with her claws when trying to get up the stairs. The stick on pads weren't plush enough, and didn't cover enough space on the steps themselves. My little dog had an easier time using the stairs than the cat but often would go around it and jump on the bed instead. Sometimes when she would use the stairs she'd slip and fall. Cats and dogs both use their claws when walking, jumping, climbing etc. Having a surface they can grip onto is essential. The other stairs we have that are completely covered with plush material are preferred but unfortunately aren't as tall. If these stairs had a plush covering or larger more plush stick on sheets it would better meet our needs.

My cat is 12 pounds and she couldn't sit down in this comfortably. She was attracted to it but gave up after trying to sit down in it. My two cats now take turns in a small dog bed with a specialty pet heating pad in it. They love that and have room to stretch a bit. I have photos but it seems Amazon only wants video. I sent this item back with no problems.
