When you travel in an RV with a dog, space matters. Comfort matters even more.

So we tested two popular options with Abi:

  • FurHaven Orthopedic Bed

  • Coolaroo Elevated Bed

And yes… she definitely had a favorite.

The FurHaven Orthopedic Bed

This is your classic soft, supportive bed.

Pros:

  • very comfortable

  • great for longer rest

  • good for older dogs

Cons:

  • takes up more space

  • can get warm

Abi used this one mostly at night or when she wanted to really relax.

The Coolaroo Elevated Bed

This one is raised off the ground and allows airflow.

Pros:

  • stays cool

  • easy to clean

  • great for warm climates

Cons:

  • not as cushioned

  • some dogs take time to get used to it

This bed works great during the day, especially in warmer weather.

So… which bed did she choose?

It wasn’t even close.

Abi went back to the Coolaroo more often during the day, especially when it was warm. But at night, she preferred the FurHaven.

What we learned

You don’t need just one.

If you have the space, having both gives your dog options:

  • elevated bed for daytime

  • orthopedic bed for sleep

Final thoughts

Every dog is different, but comfort + temperature control is the key.

Watch your dog. They’ll tell you what they like.

Abi definitely did.
