As any pet owner knows, there is no guilt like leaving the house without your cat or dog, who, until the door closes in their sad, disappointed faces, thought they were coming with you. Well, today, they can—as long as you're going somewhere outside like the backyard, beach, brewery, or anywhere else where pets are welcome. Though animals can get comfortable pretty much anywhere, this Costco pet bed is a game-changer. Not only is it meant for the outdoors, but it's also waterproof, so feel free to bring it to the lake or pool and let it get soaked. The SolarTec dog chaise is built with pets and their humans in mind. Just peak at the Instagram Reel below and tell us you're not so tempted to buy it.
The only issue? Like most viral Costco finds, it's sold out everywhere, so unless you want to go on a wild goose chase to various Costco outposts, shop the nearly identical versions from another one of our favorite retailers: Amazon. We did the legwork for you and found the best contending options, and topping our shopping list is this waterproof dog bed from Miguel.
At 48-inches long, this option is suitable for a range of breeds up to 110 pounds. Think any pup from a Maltese to a Bernese mountain dog. Meanwhile, the tightly-woven fabric is both scratch- and water-resistant, so it can withstand paws, slobber, and the occasional accident. And while many customers say this layer is machine-washable, it can also be wiped clean for easy maintenance. Miguel's dog bed is available in a multitude of colors so there's an option for everyone.
That said, if you're looking for something specific that will suit your backyard's aesthetic and your dog's needs, we found a few more outdoor-friendly dog beds that will make your pup actually want to sit and stay.
