Does this have a "furry" texture that a dog's nails might get caught on? My dog is a digger and from the owner photos, looks worrisome to me. Thx.

It is soft and "furry" but not looped. My pup digs as well to find a comfy spot and her nails do not get caught. Satisfied with my purchase.

no, it seems fluffy and very soft. It is a unique material. No problems so far

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 use it for my cat. This pet bed has more of a very soft linear shag texture. For me it has not balled or tangled.

Yes, it is a furry texture. My dog is a digger too and so far his nails haven't caught. I hope this helped.

The "furry" texture on the beds we purchased is not looped and our dog's nails do not catch. Our dogs really like these beds.

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.

Yes, the texture if furry, but the texture isn't looped. It's very soft and smooth. I guess it's possible for a dog's nails to get caught, but it seems pretty hard for that to happen.

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.,

I would say dry. The fingers are like one side of a hair clipper. I was amazed at how much fur came out my dogs, one has 1/2-3/4" fur and the other has 1-1 1/2" fur. Handfuls with just a few strokes.

i would describe it as "leather-ish" lol it's grainy, not as smooth nor shiny as leather but you could spill something on it and not worry about a stain or anything. my dogs have licked it and it just dries, i've wiped it down with a clorox wipe.

Yes, I would say it is. A few tips as I've been doing dog's nails all my life. 1) If the nails are long or you're unfamiliar with their nails, only trim the very tip. Do this every 7-10 days. 2) Bend their paws toward the rear. You can see their cuticle on the underside plus it won't pull their joint out and hurt them. Added benefit is if they try to bite, they can only reach your side. Nothing vital. Good luck!

My husband says that it thumps like wood and feels like wood. For a definitive answer, you might want to contact Coaster directly for the scoop or check their site. We have had 3 of these couches for 5 1/2 months. We may buy more! We have 4 labs, 1 Jack Russell, and 2 shih Tzu's. These couches do not have any scratches on the leather (yes, we let the dogs on them at night). The wood has flecks of varnish missing in 4 small spots (impact spots). Three of these are on the legs and one on the back of a couch. Good luck!

I would put a rug down instead or have the dog's nails trimmed and buffed. My dog does not care to wear the boots. He only wears them in snowy, muddy weather. I think most dogs would not want to wear them daily.

Having had an 87 lb. Golden Retriever, I never really noticed any scratch marks. I think it would depend on the kind of dog you have and its nail structure. My experience is that you are more apt to notice wear in areas that are frequently used, like in front of the kitchen sink, etc. These are easy to touch up as the oil blends in with surrounding areas.

It does look to me like pieces of meat. It is dehydrated so a little different look. I didn't think my dogs would like the consistency either but they still park at the bar patiently waiting each night. They are super excited for dinner now.

Thanks Patricia. I was going to use this for trimming my dogs hard as rock nails. He is very squeamish when it comes to getting his nails clipped, thought this might work a little better. My Brittany just sits there and soaks up the attention but my GSP can't stand to have anyone touch his nails, any thoughts? Grant

I had large dog visitors not live in ones but saw no damage. This is very dif than urathane. It is a subtle finish that looks like wax or hand rubbing. I personally want a glossy more bling look and probably won't use again. But if I had an old historic house I would use it on that.

I think that will not be a problem. The fabric is pretty sturdy and when an outdoor dog run and play, their nails get somewhat of a trim on the cement or when they are digging. Go for it they will love it and keep them of the cold/wet ground.

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!

I have several retired K9 Cops. I am looking for a dog house that they won't eat, so I know what you are asking here. It looks to me like the edges are rounded so no real fang grip places. I am sure they can grab it at the door and drag it around. Those of you who think I am kidding don't know dogs of this drive level. I am going to pass on all these and make my own. Doghouseplans.com

Yes, it is a firm but spongy surface. If you trim your dog's nails weekly, you should not have a problem.

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.

No. The texture is like thin wood. It was hard for me to break in smaller pieces for my dog and when I did, my dog still did not chew on it.
