General Questions:

What is a Canine Cot?
Canine Cots are colorful, cool, and comfortable Hawaiian-style cots made exclusively for your dog. Find out all about Canine Cots by clicking here.

How are Canine Cots better than dog beds?
Canine Cots are elevated, keeping your dog off the ground and farther away from fleas and other insects.

Secondly, the breathable fabric allows air to pass through the cot, keeping your dog cool. Some dog beds absorbs moisture due to their non-breathable fabric or dense cushion insert.

Finally, dogs that use Canine Cots have less chance of getting elbow calluses because of the comfortable material and elevated design. Canine Cots may also provide comfort to dogs with dysplasia, arthritis, or dogs recovering from surgery.

What sizes do Canine Cots come in?
Canine Cots currently comes in four different sizes to fit most dogs. There is also a recommended weight for each size. View our sizing chart for details.

How can I tell which size Canine Cot to order?
When sizing your cot, take into consideration whether your dog likes to curl up or stretch out during naps. If your dog always stretches out during naps, it's probably safer to buy an oversized Canine Cot rather than one that's just right. View our sizing chart for assistance.

Are Canine Cots washable?
Canine Cots are hand or machine washable in cold water. Use a mild detergent, no bleach, hang dry or tumble dry low. The PVC piping used for the Canine Cots frame can be cleaned simply by using mild soap and water.

Will my Canine Cot fabric fade?
If you leave your Canine Cot outside where it is exposed to direct sunlight, the fabric will fade over time. To keep your Canine Cot looking new, we recommend washing it regularly and keeping it indoors and/or lining it with your dog's favorite pillow or blanket.

Are Canine Cot fabrics and parts replaceable?
Yes, they are. If you purchased a Canine Cot and need to order a new fabric or frame, just use the following chart as a guide and contact us to place an order.

Can dogs dig through the fabric?
Due to the quilted nature of the fabric, it doesn't take much for your dog to scratch through the fabric on our Canine Cots. If your dog is a "digger", we suggest purchasing an additional replacement fabric, or lining your Canine Cot with a pillow or blanket.

Can my cat use a Canine Cot?
Most definitely! Although marketed towards dogs, Canine Cots can also be used for our feline friends. We can make custom frames for cats who like to perch a little higher off the ground than our canine companions. Contact us for more information.

Dr. Murray Questions:

Do you look that cute in person?
I actually look much cuter in person than in the pictures shown on this Web site. It must have something to do with the image editing software my owner uses.

What kind of breed are you?
According to my vet, whom I trust with my life, I am "part golden retriever, part miniature collie, part this, and part that". People in Hawaii call this highly intelligent mix a "poi dog".

Are you single or married?
I am currently single and available, although due to an operation when I was a puppy, I am physically incapable of producing offspring. My vet says it was for my own good.

What are your hobbies and interests?
I enjoy eating, going to the park, eating, playing frisbee, eating, swimming at the beach, eating, and sleeping on my Canine Cot. I also love to eat.

Are those prescription or fake glasses?
What kind of dog would have any reason to wear fake glasses?
