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.

I love mine its not smooth and shinny. It's hard to explain what kind of texture but if you get it you will love it. I use it during Halloween.

I never noticed that! But now that you mention it, when I put it on her fur straight, it IS a little gummy. Dilution is a good idea.

Not sure about that. I have had dogs but don't have one now. It probably depends on whether or not you keep the dog's nails clipped short and filed. It's a pretty tight weave.

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.

If they tested it on animals they would have softer, moister skin. I must admit that I have "tested" it on my dog. He can't resist "paw?" and I have done that while using it myself. He didn't have a negative reaction, no indication of pain or even displeasure. His pads don't scratch me like they have in the past and he must find it delicious! I have to put socks on to keep him from licking it off of my paws!

My dog is short-haired and very active, and the nail caps don't seem to bother or impede her in any way! I would imagine they would bother my other dog quite a bit, because he will not tolerate any contact with his paws. That's probably a better indicator of whether the caps would bother your dog.

Both of my dogs are furry. I have to admit, it is not easy to put them on bc the fur gets caught on the non-slip pads, but it's not that bad. You just have to adjust and smooth out the fur a little after the bootie is on.

No this isn't real fur. It's an acrylic blend that's nice and soft and very warm.

I'm not sure what the Pawz are made from, but I believe some other reviews mention them tearing, so you might want to look at that. Plus, you need to consider how long your dog's nails are--will they either push through the Pawz, be felt through the Pawz, or will it be uncomfortable for your dog? I really can't answer these questions but you might find some answers in other reviews, or buy a set and experiment. Hope all goes well for you at Day Care!

Coincidentally, I have a dog who sleeps on it. She is my rather stocky Olde English Bulldogge. Her nails do not damage the mattress because I bought a decently padded mattress pad. I suggest you do the same! Besides protecting the mattress from tears, the mattress pad, if washed im bleach and rinsed well, helps keep dust mites from settling in.

I would say yes. It smells like cedar. The top part has a plastic, I guess incase of an accident and there's no way IMO to wash it, so I haven't opened it to look. Its two haves of a bed with a dip in the middle where they are sewn together, so a smaller dog sinks in the middle, that just more information. I have washed the cover and after being appalled how it looked afterwards, I was happy again within a few hours. It looked like it shrunk, and was fuzzy as if it would shed off, but it looked new again once it got back into use. We were skunked, so it had to be washed before I would normally have done so.

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.

If you mean the nails, no. This product is great for trimming fur and fur on paws (I have a miniature schnauser).

This feels more soft velvet than furry. If I would have to put a feel to it. I would say that it is like a short haired teddy-bear. It is a very soft and nicely comfortable. I would by it over and over again.

If your dogs are "diggers" on the bedspread I wouldn't recommend this bedspread. If they jump on the bed and just lay down and sleep it's fine.There is stitching on this design, if an occasional dog toenail caught a thread if could be pulled back from the underside of the bedspread and lookfine on the right side that shows on your bed. Again, not a good choice for roughhousing dogs.

Depends on where you are talking about. If your dog has longer foot hair then I would suggest using a baby sock by cutting a small hole in the tip to get the nail through. I have a Bichon Frise so his tail has gotten caught before so I totally understand where you are coming from. My best advice in to make sure they don't stick their face down by it when you are dremmeling & when you are on the back feet make sure your tail is put up with a hair clip of some kind.
