Highlighted Reviews

— Susan

"I could not find a bed like this anywhere until I checked on Chewy. The price is right and it's not cheaply made. Easy to toss onto the porch for our dog to laze in the sun. She loves it."

— Elizabeth

"I bought this because it said antimicrobial, but I don't see any difference. It is very difficult to get on and off. The foam insert is too large for the covering after washing."

Bottom Line

If you're looking for a comfortable and easy-to-maintain dog bed, this might be a good fit. However, be aware of the durability issues and potential waterproofing problems, especially if you have a larger dog.
