Highlighted Reviews

β€” momasude

"I’ve had this bed for a year and he doesn’t even try to eat it!! I’m trying to buy another just to have a back up when I remove the cover to clean it!!"

β€” Disappointed

"Unfortunately, my pit tore a huge hole in the corner and I had to replace all straps with zip ties because they all broke from him pulling on it. If you have a heavy chewer buy something cheaper, you'll have the same result."

Bottom Line

Consider this bed if your dog is not a heavy chewer and you are looking for a sturdy, easy-to-maintain crate pad. However, for aggressive chewers, this may not be the best choice.
