does cover stay up? i've heard complaints that similar styles..the cover falls flat and pet ends up sleeping on TOP of entire bed including cover

My cover has stayed up for a year so far. There is a plastic tubing that keeps it up but it should be removed before washing.

Ours stands up fine and we have 2 mini dachshunds going in and out of it and even had a German Shepherd laying on top of it when she visits. She is old and don't think she realized she could go into it or didn't feel it was worth the effort for her old bones!

No, the "lid" does not stay up after a while but it doesn't go totally flat. My dog has learned how to lift it up with his head and crawl in, so it hasn't been much of a problem. We have the X-Large one.

We have not found that the case for ours. It doesn't stand straight up, but it is open enough that our burrow loving pup can get right in there. It is the best thing we ever bought for this dog - she sleeps and therefore we can sleep! We remembered this lesson when we forgot it once when out of town.

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.

The snoozer stays up because it is supported by a hoop. The back part flops down like a pouch. If my pups sit on it I fluff it up for them and it pops right back into shape. If you see my video review you can see it. I think for small burrowing or digging breeds love this. Occasionally they lay on top of it but mostly love snuggling inside together. my opinion - If you have a large dog I.e. labrador you will definetly need a bigger snoozer.

Nope--the cover stays up on this one (I've had others where it falls as you've said). This has a bit of rigidity in it that invites burrowing.

mine stays up,sometimes hangs a bit low but my dog (beagle)just sticks his nose under and in he goes,best to put in a corner as can sometimes lift up at front,once dog got the hang of it,no worries,loves it

I have purchased three of these for our dog at different locations and none of the covers stay up, we often find him lying on top in the morning and we often have to hold up the hoop to let him in.Regards Ron

I have mine on a full size bed and it does not come down as far as shown. You would need a bed skirt to get this look. However, I love mine. Love the look and quality. It washes and dries well. Good purchase!

I covered the pillow with another zip on pillow cover and can just take it off for washing. She is very clean though and no shedding. Bed stays clean and my baby 13 lb Shih-tzu loves it! Top stays up beautifully. Love love love this bed. It sits on top of my bed at night (next to my pillow) and she sleeps so well I have to coax her out with treats in the morning!

Cover does not zip off. So you might get a lumpy pillow int the end if you wash the whole things...?

i haven't had any problems with it moving around--not in bed and not in my favorite upholstered chair. i did find my self slipping off the bed at first, but a change of bottoms and then a change of pad placed under top sheet worked well. i'm going to order another one of these. i love it!!

We've found that letting the cover kind of flop closed on it's own aligns it better than we do. As an added measure, when it doesn't sleep, we manually align an outer corner and find that it will sleep then. Hoping after some use it will remember the position we like it in better.

Yes. It will cover it. I have one on a queen size bed in my guest room right now. Having said that, it will not hang all the way down the sides of the bed, but it will hang down to about the bottom of your mattress (depending on the mattress thickness). It will be very long in one direction. I put that part at the head of the bed where the pillows are and then fold it down. It is great for covering beds that pets like to go on!! When it arrives it will smell strange, but just wash and dry it (it comes out of the dryer just fine) and all of the odor will be gone.

No, it will not stay up. I tried teaching my Mini Aussie rescue how to "burrow in" by luring with tiny treats (and he's a smart lil pup, does great at agility and is incredibly fast @ figuring out the dog-puzzle stuff I give him) but no go. I ended up having to leave it mostly-unzipped, wait til he hops in, then come over and zip it up because he quickly falls asleep from the coziness around him. Planning to head to a craft store to find a way to Velcro-attach some sort of semi-rigid-but-flexible strap around the opening so he doesn't need to depend on me to get snuggled.

We also have never used the cover. Our dog has not been that interested in them. When he does wander in my daughter's room he will go toward the cage, bark once to let them know he is still in charge, and leave. Your experience with pets may vary.

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.

Hi Mark,I think your bed is probably working correctly. I also wondered at first why it didn't feel warmer on top, but I came to realize that when the cat is in the bed it's body traps the heat. I think if it were any warmer it might be too hot. It is just right for my old kitty.Good Luck,Sarah Sirchuk

I put a sheet over mine, I would think you could easily put a waterproof cover over the top. I would put a waterproof item on the bed then an old sheet over the top- the cover is removable and can be washed even if there is a leak. It really is the best dog bed on the market!

I would keep the shape in mind. The cover comes off so I expect it should be easy to wash as well. We have not yet used it much due to the warm weather. I am expecting my pup to use it a lot more in the colder months. She does love it when she is able to sneak into my closet - gets comfy on it and wants to stay on it. I hope this helps.

No, nothing to hold it up. The dog finally ends up sleeping on top of the "top". For what I wanted (a warm back), it doesn't work.

The cover does not get very warm under my Labrador even after hours of lying on the bed. I live in the Central Valley of CA. When the weather is hot he prefers the tile floors, which are very hard and cold in the even mild winters. Hope this helps! It's a great bed.

Does the cover stay put? the one i have the soft cover keeps coming off and the plastic pad is exposed. Thanks.

Good question. The comfort does seem to attract some dust and hair. I do have a dog who sheds. So far he has not been on the comforter when it is on top of the bed. It is a matter of time as he does spend time up there on the made up bed when I am going. I would guess that it might attract some hair.
