Outdoor Gear: Quik Shade Pet Shade

I know many of you have already taken notice of my new outdoor bed when I posted about my adventure out to Big Cypress National Preserve


It is a Pet Shade made by Quik Shade Pets.  (Quik Shade is the maker of the instant canopies that people use in their backyards, during picnics and on the beach.)  They also make a Pet Kennel which is similar to the Pet Shade but it has a mesh enclosure with a zippered entrance.

The Quik Shade Pet Shade
I love my new pet bed!  It is lightweight and easy to take with us anywhere, like when we recently went camping.  It folds up into its own carry bag just like Ma and Daddy-dog's chairs.


It sets up in seconds because it is all ONE PIECE.  There is nothing to put together; you just remove it from its bag and open it.  It is super sturdy too.  The frame locks in place when opened so Ma doesn't have to worry about me collapsing the bed.  Ma also loves that I am off the ground away from the ants and such. 


I find the Quik Shade Pet Shade super comfy.  With the canopy and the mesh bed, I stay nice and cool during the day.  It was great for around the campfire at night too...where I mostly just slept.  (It is exhausting being an adventurer!)


I know many of you are adventure dogs like me which is why I so wanted to get my paws on the Pet Shade so I could tell you all about it.  It is great if you are traveling, RV-ing, camping or visiting a park or fair.  Dawg, you can even just use it in your own backyard!


The Pet Shade comes in small, medium and large sizes as well as a variety of colors and patterned designs (mine is a medium).  You can buy a Quik Shade Pet Shade at Bed, Bath and Beyond from around $29.99 (depending on the size).
UPDATE:  The Pet Shade is also available at the following stores/online - PetSmart, Petco, Amazon and Fred Meyer!

 Like I said, I LOVE mine!  What do you think?  Do you think you will get a Quik Shade Pet Shade for your summer outdoor adventures?

  2. we think it is brilliant and Mom loves it - the only problem with us is we would never use it - we are just dog bed dogs....we have them scattered all through our house - all different types - but we never use them

  14. Not for me because it gets very windy here without warning. I might wake up and find myself in New Mexico.

  15. Looks pretty cool. I like my outdoor bed, but I love to lie in the sunshine. It is off the ground with a net base so the air can circulate.

    You look like a King on your throne!

  25. That pet shade looks super comfy! I just bought Alfie little Pawz booties like yours for the summer to protect his paws from the hot tarmac :-)

  26. I love it and your review. You do such a great job modeling. You guessed it right on little baby Gambler in the lake with his bumper and splashes, that is one of my favorite pictures of him too! Have a great weekend.

  27. Very neat! When it's wet or cold(ish) it would make sense to keep the dogs of the ground too. When it's hot, though, the ground actually has an amazing cooling power, which this way would be lost.

  28. LOVE it Oz. You got lots of room too. Oh! I can tell that your Dad is jealous :-) Hey! and you are wearing PawZ boots too. Happy Luxury Camping! Golden Woofs

  31. Oh my gosh, that is adorable. I'll have to check the measurements for the large. Large doesn't always mean large enough for a Great Pyrenees ;)
