Let’s dive into the details:
K9 Ballistics Chew Resistant, Waterproof Washable Tough Nesting Pillow
Pros:
- The cover is made from a scratch-resistant, waterproof fabric that is machine washable and easy to clean.
- The mattress is made from CertiPUR-USA Foam, specifically designed for pet beds to ensure your dog is fully supported off the floor.
- The mattress can also be machine washed (you may need to use a laundromat style washer for larger sized beds).
- This dog bed can be bought in four sizes, Small (24″), Medium (36″), Large (42″), or Extra-Large (54).
- You get to choose from eleven different colors (Grey Camo is our favorite).
- This bed comes with a 120-day warranty. If you have any problems with it at that time, they will send you a replacement bed.
- This bed is made in the United States.
Cons:
- We do not think that this bed is chew proof enough for really aggressive chewers. So if this sounds like your dog, make sure you keep reading for a bed that is up to the task.
K9 Ballistics Tough Rectangle Nesting Dog Bed
Pros:
- This bed is a flat mattress style. It has a waterproof, scratchproof washing machine safe bed cover.
- Inside, it has a shredded CertiPUR-US foam mattress that is machine washable (assuming your washer is big enough to fit it in).
- It comes in sizes from Small up to XXX-Large som is perfect for any dog breed, from tiny little teacups breeds right up the Great Danes and Mastiffs.
- It also comes in twelve color schemes. We really like the Sunny Sky Stripe option.
- This bed comes with a 120-day product warranty. If you have any problems with it at that time, they will send you a replacement bed.
Cons:
- As with the other dog beds from this company that we have reviewed, this one is chew resistant but not totally chew proof. So please keep reading if your dog LOVES to chew things to pieces.
K9 Ballistics Tough Orthopedic Bolster Dog Bed
Pros:
- A flat mattress with bolster support along three edges, this bed gives plenty of support for your dog’s body with a comfy place to rest their head.
- The cover is waterproof and resistant to chewing/scratching.
- The mattress is made from CertiPUR-US foam, and it is washing machine safe.
- You can chose from Small (18″x24″x5″), Medium (27″x33″x5″), Large (34″x40″x5″), X-Large (38″x54″x5″) or XX-Large (40″x68″x5″) sizes, so this bed is great for any breed of dog.
- You can choose a bed from one of the eleven different colors, including our favorite Green Camo (so cool, we love it).
- This bed comes with a 120-day warranty. If you have any problems with it at that time and make a warranty claim, they will send you a replacement bed.
- This bed is made in the USA.
Cons:
- Not suitable for really destructive chewers, please see the next option if this sounds like your dog.
K9 Ballistics Chew Proof Elevated Dog Bed Cot
Pros:
- This raised, cot style bed for dogs from K9 Ballistics is chew-proof, so it is perfect for your pet pooch if they love chewing things to destruction.
- Elevated beds like this have some great advantages, especially for dogs that sleep outside.
- They allow to air to circulate underneath the dog while they sleep. This helps keep them cool but also is more hygienic and stops a build-up of mold or mildew.
- This bed for dogs is made from an aluminum frame and a waterproof ripstop ballistic fabric that is used for the sleeping area.
- The bed is really easy to clean, just wipe it down with a damp cloth or give it a blast with a hose pipe.
- You can buy this bed in three colors, Blue, Tan or (the one we like the most), Snow Camo.
- You can use this bed in a dog crate. It is perfect instead of a crate pad if your dog has destructive tendencies when crated (you can buy it to fit most standard crate bed sizes).
- Sizes options are Small (30″ x 20″), Medium (35″ x 23″), Large (40″ x 25″), Extra-Large (44″ x 27″) and also XX-Large (50″ x 35″) which means its ideal for dogs from the tiny breeds right up to the huge Great Danes.
- This bed comes with a 180-day chew proof product warranty. If you have any problems with it in that time, they will send you a replacement bed.
- It is fully made in the US.
Cons:
- Chew proof dog beds like this one that is made from metal tubing are a bit more clumsy and heavy to move around than a purely fabric one. So if you like moving your dog’s beds around the home, this might not be ideal.
NOTE – It is not clear if you can buy a replacement cover for K9 Ballistics beds, but we feel like this is a good idea, so you might want to check with the vendor.
Anyone with dogs knows that their beds get dirty, hairy, and muddy. So, removing and washing one cover while having a spare cover to put on the bed can be really useful.
(It also means that the bed covers tend to fade and wear thin much slower, as the work is shared between the two covers).

What is the Story of the Brand and Their Products?
K9 Ballistics are based in Camarillo, California; all their beds are made in the United States.
The company was founded and is still run by two dog-loving best friends Ari and Sean, who came up with the idea while traveling around Europe and inspired by their beloved buddy Kodiak (a golden retriever).
During our research for this review of K9 Ballistics dog beds, we read a ton of customer reviews on the dog owner’s forums and social media groups.
The reviews were not 100% totally perfect (no companies ever are). Still, overall, we feel they have earned the high-quality reputation they have with dog owners in the US and internationally, both for the quality of their beds and for their customer service.
