How durable is the fabric? One of my labs likes to scratch at his bed plus their normal wear & tear the 2 go through a Coolaroo cover in about a month

This fabric is super durable! Its a bed for them when they are outside so that it's off the ground. They don't scratch at it, but when they run around chasing each other, the jumping and off of it pretty hard. It's been outside for months, in sun, in rain, and it's stool super strong.

Seems to be durable, guess it just depends how aggressive the scratching gets.

This fabric is not durable at all. Our dog went through it in one month and isn't a scratcher

Our does eats other softer beds and is a moderate scratcher. The fabric seems durable in that it is stretched in order to assemble the bed (difficult assembly due to the fabric top needing to be stretched to fit the frame). We have found the bed to be durable and I feel confident that the bed would prove to be durable for a scratcher. In fact, I have not found any other fabric more durable than this. I hope this helps and good luck.

I agree with Laura's assessment: NOT durable. Mine lasted a couple of months, but dog is not a scratcher. Now I'm having a hard time trying to find someplace where I can buy a replacement cover just to add "insult to injury". :-/

No, the bed is basically the same kind of memory foam you would find in a bed that you would buy for yourself. The denim cover and inner water resistant cover might provide some protection, but if your dog is an aggressive chewer you'll just be throwing money away on a bed this expensive.

Just washed the cover yesterday and it held up great. My dog is 66lbs american bulldog and he scratches the crap outta the thing and no tears. At leasy not yet. The bed itself is amazing btw. He loves it. Id recommend it.. Good luck

I've had mine for a couple months now. Sharing my bed are myself, my husband, and our toddler. (Don't judge me.) We all roll around quite a bit in our sleep, and I wash it about once a week, and have not yet noticed any tears, rips, loose threads, or pulled places. For as cheap as it is, it's holding up remarkably well.

The cover is pretty tough and the zipper on an end, so not to easy. I made another slip on cover out of a queen sized fleece blanket and my dog doesn't like fleecy things to chew. The bed is great!

The bed is silky on one side and polyester on the other, with fiberfill between the two. It is not a tough style bed and probably wouldn't hold up to chewing. We have another bed that is fleece on one side and the fabric that some dog toys are made of on the other. It can be rolled up and has a self-inflate air bladder inside. You can find on Amazon or Costo. Since the fabrics is a lot tougher, it might be better.

I'm not too sure as my dog doesn't scratch. I also have a blanket on top of it so my cover is still looking really good.

I have a dog, but the mesh is very sturdy, but over enough time it might break down under constant scratching. The cool thing about the bed lining is you can unzip and wash or replace it

We have three Bichon Frise 'kids'. They all use the large bed. They are young and light in weight. They have no problem using this bed. It has maintained its firmness. We have had it for several months. Maybe if your dog is very heavy it might have an issue with its paws leaving a quick (not lasting) imprint on the bed, but not the cover. I would recommend giving it a try.

I have an 80 lb. lab and mine has held up very well . I keep it under her outdoor shed , so it's out of the weather. I have had it 7 or 8 months. She likes it. no problems

It's a pretty tough fabric. Unless he's actually clawing at it or digging on it it should be fine. It's hard to answer this question except to say I think it will be fine. I have a 90lb rottie that has been using it for over 2 years. She doesn't claw at it or mess with it though. I also put an old comforter I had on it. A dog certainly could destroy this though if it wanted to, but it's not going to happen by accident.

Hi Sarah, I have checked our covers and we do have a chewer but she hasn't tried it on the covers. We bought her a nylabone and she keeps busy with that. We also have a Corgi/Bassett mix who like to fluff her bed. So, with her strong nails she made the waterproof backing crack. The material is not ruined Jin any way ust the backing cracked. It stil works pretty well to keep the cushion dry though. She is 12 and has bad days where she leaks in her sleep or when getting up. Hope this helps.

I am not really the right person to address this to since I bought the medium bed, and don't sell the product but I will tell you how I use ours. My dog does not love the mesh only so I put a regular foam stuffed dog bed on it and she like that. Also when I am washing the cover, I pick up the dog bed and place a cotton throw rug on the bed. She like it better than the plain bed but still prefers the softer dog bed on top. Is your dog a puppy it should outgrow the chewing. If you are not wed to this type do dog bed, you can buy one from Orvis that has a Tuff Stuff cover. It's not cheap but I think Orvis guarantees it. Also, I put chew bones, preferably the big white ones from Costco, in her bed so she has something to chew to entertain herself. I've never had a problem with her chewing but she was about 8 mos. old when we rescued her so that's probably why.

Hi there. The fabric is very resistant not fragile at all, I've ended up in rocks and scrapped it a few times and so far no tears or holes.

This pad is very durable. I use it to cover my bed where my 16 year old Chihuahua sleeps with me. It has been washed many times and holds up well. I have 2 so I can swap out when I wash one. It fits all the way across my Queen bed. Hope this helps.

I love this bed, it washes well. I use it in my office so it is not the night time bed. My dog does not scratch it so I'm not sure I can answer this question completely.
