I plan to line a dog bed with this. Do you think it is so soft that his rough pads and toe nails will shred it and leave bits everywhere?

It would be perfect for that application. Thick pile and washable. Seemed very durable so ideal in ybopinion.

I doubt a digger's nails would get caught on the furry fabric. It is very soft and fur-like; however, it may not be tough enough to withstand a lot of enthusiastic digging.

My dog is not a "digger" but the covering seems to be quite tough. He's jumped on it paws first several times while chasing a ball that was thrown near the bed and done no damage so far (my boy is a 70lb Border Collie and he is VERY active). It would take a real effort and some very sharp claws to penetrate the thing. I don't really see much of a chance of your girl pawing a hole in it. Biting would be a bigger worry as teeth could probably make it through the cover with continuous effort.

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.

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.

Not really. It is thick and therefore your toe catchs on the corners as you walk over it. It is great to put a wet dirty dog on. So they can dry out.

I have to agree with the questioner here. I stuck *one* finger in it and when i tried to pull it out, my finger was stuck and hurt quite a bit when I was finally able to get it out. It is WAY too stiff and not soft at all. My toy poodle has titty bitty paws and cried when i tried to pull it out (no problems going in though).

The surface consists of raised "pads" of the soft plastic that the entire mat is made of. I'm careful when I clean it and use a cloth rather than any type of abrasive pad. I would think that your dogs' nails could very likely penetrate that soft surface. Now, it may not completely pierce the mat, but I do believe it would pierce the pads themselves. ,

Unfortunetly it is not to soft. However if you were to place a dog bed inside of it, it would be perfect! I hope this help's you out? You will not be disappointed with the cart. It is very strong, light weight, and folds up small enough to store out of the way. I use mine to haul my grocery's from the car the the house, and it works 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.

Depends on the size of your dog. Also, your dog's nails might catch the space between the slats. A rubber mat would be better for your dog, IMHO.

I agree that dogs need comfort too. I have three dogs and my largest is 60 lbs. she has bad joints. I have cut up an old topper into squares and put a blanket over it for her. It was a popular bed with all three of my dogs. Only problem is she's a chewer, even at 8 years old, so she pawed the blanket back and chewed apart the topper. If your dog isn't a chewer I think it would appreciate the topper.

I have hard wood floors and I lie the baby on it and it doesnt seem to bother her. About the thickness of the mat its not like a gym pad. Its more like a bed comforter thickness.

Hmmm..the material is very soft.. But no loops that the nails would get caught in..The bed is not as thick as appears.. hope that helps..

I think so. It is super soft. You just have to make sure it's tight on your finger and won't come off in his mouth.

It will probably hold up, but if your dog has long nails, they can get caught on and possibly tear the lining. The mesh is pretty durable, but still it could happen.

The cover on the bed feels like soft denim. I always throw a soft blanket on top of the bed so I don't have to take the cover off and wash it as often. It's just easier to wash a blanket! It will NOT stand up to chewing, so if your pooch is a chewer, then I definitely recommend blankets on top to dissuade naughty habits. The bed itself is awesome... wish I had found it earlier.
