Will the cover withstand a dog scratching at it and circling before lying down? We have had a canvas cover for years and it has finally worn out.

I would doubt it. The material seemed thin and it doesn't have hardly any stuffing inside. When I knelt down on it I felt like I was kneeling down on the floor. No padding to speak of. I spent a little more and got a great bed off Amazon and I think the maker was wayfield or something like that. It is a corner bed and good material.

My Great Dane does not scratch but on occasion drags it to different areas. In all honesty I prefer even with frequent washings to replace every year to year and half. Mainly because hard to get rid of dog smell and the insides tend to break down.

My small dog does that every night and there has been no issues. It is quite durable

Our two large active dogs love their beds! They're very durable and after being washed they are still in perfect shape. Circling, I would say yes, and scratching it would be okay but not roughly. I taught my dogs not to chew on them and their beds are their favorite places to be, in front of sliding glass doors in the sunlight.

Yes it is, but it's inset within a heavy duty plastic circle of the cover a good 3/8", so you would have to set the pad down on something protruding into the circle to scratch it. Not a concern in my opinion.

I've had mine for several months now... I use it as a cover on my love seat for my dogs to lay on. I wash it every week. It just seems to get softer!

I bought the cover and had only used it once. It's not the easiest to work with. I have bunnies and just use carpet runners.

The Cover is made of a very heavy weight paper, and doubt it would tear easily. I haven't really put it to the test though.

We have a Springer Spaniel that is super active and jumpy. We haven't had any issues with durability with her...we put the bed in a corner. She does not chew the bed however and a big chewer could certainly chew through this one. The one thing that I don't like about the bed is that the cover on the pad of the bed is of very low quality and doesn't fit the pad well. We are looking for a replacement cover.

the cover doesnt stay up in a hard way. It is a soft bed with a pouch. The top of the cover does have a rod in it to help keep its shape. We have had 2 of these beds and for a dog who likes to be covered and burrowed, it is perfect. Our dog flips the bed around depending on whether he feels like being inside or on top.

It will hold up to it being "pawed" at. If your dog decides to chew it that is a different story. I have bought 3 of them and rotate them from the freezer for my 7 month golden. I use a pillow case to cover it after I take it out of the frezzer.

It should not affect it due to the strong covering material that it is incased in...My dogs "dig" a bit when they lie down on anything but have'nt had a problem with this dog mattress...I think it will hold up well...

the cover is a strong material is strong an almost canvass feel to it. I don;t think anything in a bed will stand up to chewing. I also put a small sheet over it, easier to shake off dog hair and wash it.

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!

I've had it for a while now and there is no scratching. This, btw, is my favorite Kindle cover and I have had quite a few.

It seems to be a heavy duty canvas. In addition, there is a faux sheepskin with a flexible piece of plastic? to keep it flat. It's not for a dog that tears at their surroundings, but it's worked really well for me. My dog dislikes other dogs and she has hopped all around in it when she has seen one and everything is still in tact, so it's somewhat durable. Hope this helps.

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

It will hold up just fine if you secure it properly, if the wind whips up underneath and/or is moves it will not hold up - but neither will any other cover at this price point.

The canvas and screening seem very durable and I would rate it 9-10. I use it for 2 small hyper dogs (25lbs.) total weight and when they see something or someone they get very excited and scratch on the inside of the screen wanting to get out. I use the stroller often and so far no damage has occurred.

We have had no problems with scratching. My dog (an old Golden) is quite skittish, so he's not quite sure about it & he's kind of rough going up & down & no scratches. So rest assured.
