I have a dachshund who before he lays down to sleep he scratches or digs for a few minutes whatever he's on, sofa,etc, will this work for a dachshund?

My cat weighs fifteen pounds all loves this, so I bought two and glued them together. Works like a charm.

I think it would be fine for your dog, as long as he isn't too big. My smaller cats (8-12 lbs) enjoy it, but my larger cat (18-22 lbs) need a bigger version of this. Plus, they like to rub their backs on it as well. They do last quite a while, but will need replaced once the cardboard gets too roughed up from scratching or digging. I hope your dog will like it.

I don't klnow how it would work for dogs...it is large enough for a dog, but I think cats dig or scratch definitely different from a dog. However, the scratcher is cheap enough that it wouldn't hurt to give it a try. Cats use it to sharpen their claws...is that why a dog scratches too?

I think it should. The cats with claws use it. They last a few months, them the cardboard starts to wear away and you find pieces of it around. Cats nails get much pointier than I think a dogs eve do. For me the side panels come off easily, which does not effect the board itself.

My dog uses the bed regularly and tends to use his paws to settle in and dig at it a bit to get it "just right". It hasn't ripped yet several months in. Not sure how sharp your dog's nails are though, but I would guess your pretty safe.

the xsmall will but personally i wouldn't use it for that. i would work on stopping him from doing it a different way. do you provide him with good dogs chews. .the dental ones are good. and the greenies are good.. have you tried those .. anything that distracks him will work over time..

Depends on how sharp your dogs nails are. My dog sleeps on it and its fine but he doesn't purposely claw at it. Like any other bed it will tear if he/she claws at or digs at it.

It may help. My cat Teddy is about 6 years old and he chews on my bedding too. We got him as a rescue when he was about 4 years old. I believe he must of been around a dog when he was a kitten because he does dog things. Dogs chew on everything. My cousin's dog ate her dining room set. So she had to buy a new one with metal legs, something the dog could not chew on. I just distract him with a toy. When I get home from work, I hugged and kiss him. Then while watching TV I play with him. So when I go to sleep, he does too. You may want to put an old blanket on top of your comforter. Also did you check his teeth and make sure it is not a medical/dental problem. He may just want your attention. It may help. My cat Teddy is about 6 years old and he chews on my bedding too.

We have a Dalmatian that weighs 25kg. She cannot be trusted to stay alone in the house so she sleeps in the cozy kennel when we are at work/out of an evening. She sleeps on her padded cushion, which we aire before putting in. She can just get through the entrance with the cushion in place, but sleeps cosily within it.I would recommend.

I had some issues. If you have any concerns and your dog does any scratching, I would inquire as to having a custom cover made. They are a great company with excellent customer service and the bed itself is great.

It will not! I got it for the same reason. I ended up getting one of the soft cone collars which worked great. I'd put this collar on my dog if I was supervising her because it is very comfortable and easier to maneuver around furniture.

It might work. I would get a soft cone just in case she figures out to reach her foot forward. DO NOT get the Kong brand. Very flimsy outer cover. Did not hold up at all. I recently got the ProCollar inflatable collar and it is much sturdier fabric and has been on my dog for a week with no problems. The Kong lasted 36 hours.

Possibly, if you had a short leg breed like dachound or Corgi it might work. If you had a dog with longer legs like a lab or golden retriever I'm not sure it would keep them from chewing their legs or feet

I would not recommend it unless the dog is small and you cover the floor with a towel to help prevent claw punctures. Hope this helps.

I would say yes, they would soften the claw. You do need to rove and let nail breath, just like our nails so the dog does not get fungus. They have kept my dogs claws from scratching my daughters wood floors.

The fabric is thinner than those pads, it would probably work. I use it to change him and lay him on the bed if needed.

Hey Shelley. I bought this for my 18lb boy dachshund and he absolutely loves it. As long as he isn't super tall I think it will be ok because the whole point of the bed is to curl up and snuggle inside! Hope I helped.

It sure will. Your dog will really enjoy the Bolster Couch. It is cozy and soft and the outside part of the couch is washable. Your dog will love it.

I would not use this for any animal except a dog that does not dig or scratch. Yes, the nails will get caught in the mesh and the floor is not zippered, it is held in place with several small velcro strips.

Yes, after a period of time. I have it placed on my leather sofa. The cat ignores the device - but the dogs stay down when it's on. This works for a while and eventually they realize it is off and they'll be up on the couch again. So I just keep it on!
