The original Dog Hammock

The UKCampsite.co.uk was offered the chance to try out a unique bedding system for your dog. Not only is it lightweight, compact and easy to assemble, it is perfect to give your dog that extra comfort that they may need whilst away enjoying the great outdoors.

The Concept

The Original Dog Hammock, is a simple design made up using four tubular steel poles that slot together to make a frame and a cover that slides neatly over the top to create a hanging bed or better known as a hammock.

The idea behind the hammock is to give your pet that extra bit of comfort and warmth that they may need whilst both at home and away.  Cold floors can be very uncomfortable for your pet, and this does enough to raise them off the floor.

Features and Benefits

  • Five sizes available
  • Four standard colours Black, Navy, Red and Green
  • Suitable for indoor/outdoor use
  • Up to 7x warmer as raised off floor
  • Replaceable slings in over 40 colours/designs
  • Great when dog moulting as hair easily brushed off sling
  • All slings can be washed in a machine at 40 using mild detergent
  • Metal frame – solid construction – metal tubing – powder coated so won’t rust – frame guaranteed for 12 months
  • Standard sling made from luggage grade fabric – tough & water resistant – (think suitcases/holdalls etc) attaches underneath with heavy duty Velcro
  • Sling designed to fit onto frame and support weight on all 4 sides
  • Rubber feet – won’t scratch floors (heavy duty anti-slip feet available)
  • Collapsible & comes in its own bag

What did we think?

When the Dog Hammock arrived it was neatly packaged with all parts wrapped in their own bags to avoid them getting scratched during transit. There were clear instructions provided with the Dog Hammock making assembly very easy. Once we had unwrapped and laid out all the pieces we simply connected the four tubular steel leg parts together and then pulled the canvas over the frame, as if pulling on a pillow case. The legs simply slip though the holes at one end and we used the velcro-strips at the other end to join it together to stop the frame sliding out.  All in all, it took about 60 seconds to assemble, and this was the first time!

Once down on the ground we could not keep our Border Collie off it, he loves it, not only it is comfortable it keeps him that much warmer as it is raised off the floor. He had no trouble getting on and off the hammock as it only sits about 6 inches from the ground. Due to the thick tubular steel legs, it is very sturdy and secure and made it easy for him to get comfy with minimum fuss.

The Dog Hammock is ideal for taking away with you when camping and caravanning as it gives your dog that extra bit of comfort, which means that they are happier and if they are happier, you are happier! They are lightweight and when folded up very compact and fit neatly into their own storage bag, so there is less chance of your misplacing any parts. Even when assembled the hammocks are lightweight and easy to manoeuvre with our young daughter having no problems moving it around.

Overall a reasonably priced, great quality product that, if you have the space and a dog that feels the cold, I would suggest would make a fantastic purchase. Why not treat your Dog for Christmas!
