1. A raised animal bed, comprising:
a cover and a core, wherein the cover defines an internal void in which the core is located, wherein the cover includes a releasing panel, the releasing panel being openable to permit the core to be inserted into the void, wherein the releasing panel has a plurality of through-holes and each of the through holes is reinforced;
a support surface provided within the void between the core and the releasing panel of the cover that forms an underside of the bed in use; and
a plurality of legs each having a leg fixing associated therewith, each leg fixing being insertable through the plurality of through holes and into engagement with the support surface to couple the legs to the support surface through the cover;
wherein the legs and support surface constitute a kit that is separable from the cover and core of the raised bed so that the raised bed can be reconfigured so as to be suitable for use as a floor-lying bed.
