When my dogs relax in my backyard, they’re always looking for somewhere to sit. Sometimes they lay on my favorite papasan chair and I’d much rather that they had their own special place to get comfy. In the summer, we’ll often be outside grilling or playing on the trampoline. It gets hot with all of that running around but they’re clingy, they love to stay with us outside. I like the idea of having a dog house but they’re expensive and they house so many critters! QuikShade Pets has the perfect answer to that!
QuikShade Pets shades and kennels are portable pet beds! They have a shade to shield your little guy from the sun but it’s breathable, unlike a big dog house that could actually be like an oven in the summer! The pet shades have canopies with open sides, so that your pet can still rest comfortably and be free to go as they please. The pet kennels are enclosed with mesh, which is great if you want to zip them in to avoid mosquitoes, for instance! I feel like this is particularly helpful if you’re bringing Fluffy camping with you!
The floors of these elevated pet beds are mesh, which is cool and comfortable for your pet, even if the ground is damp. My favorite thing about them is how easy they are to fold up. There is no assembly, the Quik Shade Pets beds just fold up like a lawn chair. Take them outside on a sunny day, take two minutes to bring it in on a rainy day. It’s extremely sturdy but you also want to be sure you’re choosing the right size for your pet. The small size is intended for up to 25 pounds, medium for 60 pounds, and large for 85 pounds.
(My Cocker Spaniel was all about playing with her ball when I was outside with her…)
We received a medium tan Quik Shade Pets kennel, because I have two small to medium pups who love to lay together. They’re in love with it! I try not to use it inside because the baby wants to climb inside and cuddle with them but it’s no bigger than your average kennel so it actually fits perfectly in my living room or our laundry room where the dogs sleep. I’m currently keeping it on our back deck on the nice weather days and when they’re finished going potty, they hop right in. When it’s going to rain, I fold it back up and put it into the carrying bag it came with. If it’s become dirty, I can just remove the fabrics and wash them. I’m thinking of personalizing ours by putting “Cotton” and “Woody” in vinyl with little dog bones on the sides!
BUY:
Quik Shade Pets shades and kennels are available in three sizes on Amazon or at your local PetSmart, Petco, or Bed Bath & Beyond. Prices vary depending on size and type of shade.
