"This replaced her original baby bed, which she adored. So far she hasn’t chewed it up. Fabric is heavy duty, very pleased with it."

β€” ksanti

"I bought this as my 15lb poodle she had chewed up 2 of the other beds. I had bought one of these years ago for my basset hounds and had no issues and they have used it for 10 yrs. So this did not even last 1 night with the 15lb poodle"

Bottom Line

While the Carhartt Pillow Dog Bed offers good initial comfort and sturdiness, potential buyers should be aware of the durability issues and size fit concerns. It may not be the best choice for large or aggressive pets.
