HiK9 Extra Small Pet Bed
Many of us seem to have an idea of what a dog bed should look like – usually it is soft, padded and is placed directly onto the floor.
The HiK9 beds are a little different from conventional beds and in our opinion it is this that makes dogs love them. Pet owners love them too as they are so easy to clean, deter infestations and don’t get
the smells we associate with dogs and their beds.
A fabric top suspended over a metal frame, our bed creates a very comfortable place for your dog to sleep, stretch and spend hours contemplating life!
Unrestricted by sides your dog can choose to nest and curl up or stretch right out.
Covers are replaceable and available in two different fabrics:
a breathable mesh for dogs that get wet, dirty or overheat,
or a solid fabric that is smoother to the touch and prevents draughts.
To clean, machine wash, jet wash, disinfect or wipe down – it couldn’t be simpler.
The cover moulds to your dog’s body ensuring there are no pressure points that can develop into unsightly and uncomfortable sores.
No heat is conducted from your dog’s body ensuring it is kept warm and comfortable with no condensation
gathering underneath the bed creating smells, mildew and damp bedding.
It is these features that make our beds especially good for dogs with arthritis and joint problems. T
he mesh cover is also perfect for dogs that are suffering with skin allergies as the bed can be cleaned with ease; it also allows air to circulate and any debris to drop through the open weave.
All beds are fully collapsible and come in their own bag so are great not only at home but when travelling, holidaying or during times when your dog may need to be kenneled.
The metal frame is rust proofed for long-term protection then powder coated for improved appearance and enhanced protection meaning it can be left outdoors if required.
It comes as standard with black plastic feet and will not harm your carpets or solid floors.
We also have a range of HiK9 accessories to complement your bed

FAQ
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
IS THIS DOG BED INDESTRUCTABLE?
No! To some dogs nothing is completely indestructable, however, HiK9 beds stand up to a lot of wear and tear and we receive lots of positive feedback from customers stating that the HiK9 is the first bed their dog hasn’t eaten!
We supply replacement covers so it’s never the end of the world if your dog does have a nibble every now and again.
WILL MY DOG LIKE IT?
We’ve never met a dog that doesn’t like to get on our beds, sometimes it may take a little encouragement but generally they take to them like a duck to water (or should that be dog?) Dogs in the wild will always sleep up off the ground as it can be cold, damp and is also where parasites breed.
CAN I LEAVE MY BED OUTSIDE?
Yes, the frame is rust proofed before the powder coating so can be left outside whatever the weather.
We would suggest the mesh cover which will allow any water to drain through and heavy duty feet to give added protection to your frame.
HOW LONG DOES A COVER LAST & CAN I GET A REPLACEMENT?
Yes, covers are replaceable. Generally we expect a cover to last at least 12 months, although most people go for several years without needing to replace them.
CAN I MAKE BUNK BEDS OUT OF ALL SIZES OF HIK9 BED?
No, the HiK9 leg extensions fit inside our small, medium and large frames only.
HiK9 uses a thicker steel on the XL and XXL frames so the extensions will not fit.
Any size of bed can be used for the bottom bunk.
