I have a large dog who nests / fluffs / has to make things just perfect.... will this cover hold up to the abuse?

Our dogs do some fluffing and it seems to hold up well. We do cover ours with a sheet or what have you as the brown cover shows dirt and slobber. Regardless, the cover holds up as the sheet gets tossed off the bed, etc. I will also add that we have washed the cover a few times and it holds it size and shape. Zipper seems to be of sturdy quality as well.

Yes! My Chocolate Lab used to be a fluff and scratch, circle around 10 times before laying down. Now? He just walks on and "plop". . .asleep!

I believe it would. The cover is very thick and durable and we have not had any problems with damage to it or with our dog tearing it, etc...

My Dane does that too. I have a blanket on the barker bed & so far it's held up great.

My lab doesn't nest so I can't really say. The material is very durable and our little Shih Tzu likes to get on the pillowbed with the lab and he does fluff and nest. Best to keep nails trimmed. We have a cover blanket over the bed.nest. When in doubt, keep the nails trimmed

Yes. My Germas Shepherd does the same thing. Make sure nails are trim. I really love this bed.

This is a great dog bed, and I have several other large dog beds that show the wear and tear right away, not this one! My German Shepherd mix likes to hang her head over the side of other dog beds, that is not a comfortable position with this one--this one doesn't flatten out and change shape for her. But it is comfortable and provides wonderful orthopedic support--all three dogs choose this one first.

yes .. its seems very durable and thick... however if your dog has nails and likes to shred things ...it cud be torn..like any fabric

I would tell you NO! This particular one has a very flimsy covering and is easily damaged. The manufacturer will sell you a very expensive "protective slip cover." The fact that it needs one should tell you something.There is a better quality version at the Big Box (5 letters - hint) pet website. I am currently using them. The big one is on my bed. Wherever you get it, keep the receipt and proof of purchase.....just in case.

I purchased the medium for our outdoor Dalmatian. It came with a cozy cover. It has been in her doghouse for over a month now and we've had no trouble with the cover staying on.

We have a 101 lb weimaraniner, and he does great. The covers zip off so you could add to it or change it if needed. :)

I have a scottish terrier puppy and he did get under it. I placed bricks around the inside parameter and that worked like a charm. Very nice kennel and easy to move. I just wish I could find a replacement cover...just in case mine ever tears.

My dog is not a scratcher, so I can't say for sure, but the fabric is thick and tough and my guess is it would hold up much better than any other bed I've seen. Hope this helps.

Hi, I own the larger size already and found it withstands my Tibetan Terrier's scratching and habit of pulling on it. Like most I think they could had installed a better zipper and added more stitching along the fabric and zipper. But I also want you to know that the foam is superior to any I have bought at pet stores or other internet stores. My dog has hip dysplasia and he always picks laying on this pad. I'm buying this smaller version so I can put it on top of his larger pad so he can get into his recliner more easily.

So far the faux fur has held up surprisingly well. No tears anywhere yet. They climb up and down it all the time. Hope this helps!

My dog also has the same issue. So far I've had no problems with him making any holes. I've washed it several times and its held up perfectly! I am very please with purchasing this bed. I have paid twice as much for other beds that haven't lasted even close to as long as this bed has. The matress itself has lost a bit of its origional shape but its nothing to fret about. The cover is removable/washable and my dog loves it! All in all I highly recommend this bed and give it two thumbs up! For the price you can't beat it!

yes, it will hold up, unless your dog is actually a chomping rascally puppy..............

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.

let them dig if it's a small to medium dog...the material is thick but if its a big dog then it might break thru. I have 5 shih tsus and a pekiness...they all love to nest. I just put a microfiber pillow cover over it and its lasted about 2 summers before it sprung a small leak towards the seam.

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 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...

I've invited my lab up onto the bed several times & no problems at all. But if she did the nesting thing, that would be another story. its not flimsy but its not hardy either, if that makes any sense. We've tossed the comforter around quite a bit with making the bed & changing sheets & no damage has been done. I would say with every day usage the comforter holds up.

Yes & it holds up great. I'd gotten a few for baby showers & hand me downs but I found this one on my own & it's THEE best! It also works great as a highchair cover which was another selling point for me. Some of the others were more padded, but don't work we'll as high chair covers because of the padding.

Hi Shelley, yes its very well made and durable I own 2 gsd and a yorkie. My 2 gsd have heavy undercoats and furminator takes quite a beating with my 3. My friend who recommended it to me has 2 full grown Huskeys. So I think that speakes for it self. If you still have doubts just call your local dog groomer and get some confirmation/tips. Best of luck to you and your fur baby. :)
