Notes from Joan on Rathdrum
Round Rathdrum and Avondale the dogs mostly work, or think they do. Collies, springers, a lot of soft-mouthed setters, and all of them in and out of forestry all day.
A bed for a dog like that isn't furniture. It's a place to steam gently in a back kitchen while the muck dries off. Foam doesn't survive it. Anything with a zip fills with pine needles.
So: no foam, no zip, no cover. Galvanised steel legs that won't rot on a damp floor, canvas that hoses off, and enough height that a wet dog isn't lying in what came off it. Joan makes the Giant and Wolfhound sizes with six legs for the big ones who flop rather than lie down.
Nobody types "dog beds Rathdrum" into Google — Semrush (Ireland) records no measurable volume for it. What people here search is practical and national: "outdoor dog bed" (around 210 a month) and "dog bed for large dog" (around 720). This page answers those in a Wicklow accent.
Also covered on the same run: Avoca · Aughrim · Laragh · Glenmalure · Annamoe.

Rathdrum — frequently asked
Do you deliver to Rathdrum, Avoca and Aughrim?
Yes — all three are on the northern delivery run from Ferns, along with Laragh and Glenmalure. Joan brings the bed herself rather than shipping it.
Will a KosieCare bed survive a working farm or forestry dog?
It's designed for it. Galvanised steel resists rust in a damp shed or porch, and the PVC canvas takes muck and hoses clean. There's no stuffing or cover for a dog to destroy.
Can the bed live outside or in an unheated shed?
It can, under cover. The frame is galvanised and the canvas is UV-stable and waterproof, so a porch, a dry kennel or a utility room all suit it. For a dog sleeping out, add a blanket for warmth.
