How durable is this bed for a dog who likes to unzip and pull the stuffing out?

The cover is pretty tough and the zipper on an end, so not to easy. I made another slip on cover out of a queen sized fleece blanket and my dog doesn't like fleecy things to chew. The bed is great!

I think he would have a hard time unzipping it, The bed has material over the zipper.

The zipper is at the side. The bed is foam, not stuffing. Both of my dogs absolutely love the bed. I don't know about a dog determined to unzip and destroy, however, as both of mine are over 8 years old.

It has been very durable for our dogs who dig in their bed. But mine haven't figured out how to unzip. That is a talent! The cover is pretty heavy duty denim and it has a silky like inside bag that is supposed too be water proof. I have problems getting the cover off for washing but I am sure if a dog is determined they can figure out how to destroy most anything.

It is very durable. We bought ours for a rottweiler puppy who is also very playful and plays hard with other dogs. It is holding up well so far.

The solid material feels like a thick backpack, like a Jansport backpack. Almost as durable as jeans. My pittie never tried to rip through it,but easily could have got through the mesh if she tried. She ended up destroying it by jumping on top of it and breaking the tube framing. We loved it though, it was great for traveling and excellent for non-destructive dogs. She loved it too, when not locked up we left 2 sides open and it was her bed and safe haven.

I got one for my 70# Labrador, a 2-yr-old, who has managed to destroy every toy we've gotten her, the only exception being the large Kong, until this ball. She quickly learned to remove the tasty inserts, so now we put biscuits inside the ball itself (it's made to do that) and she hasn't destroyed it yet, going on 6 months. PS for outside play, if you have some space, the large "Jolly Ball" made for horses holds up well, too.

My kid has chewed it & it holds up better than expected. I imagine it could survive a dog that's not *trying*to destroy it. That's a guess I haven't had a dog in years.

I have a 2year old mastiff and she got this for Christmas. We have a hole in it. It is empty inside so there is no stuffing. She played tug of war with it along with chewing. All I can suggest is to try it. It did last longer than other toys I have purchased for her. Good luck.

I have a 75lb lab/ridgeback mix and he is very active pup. It has held up great so far. No rips or tears, and no bending in the legs of the frame. Ours is very well made. I don't know if that helps, just my experience.

My two dogs that total right at 200 lbs total both sleep on it. I am not sure how it will stand the test of time..but after about a month I am not seeing indentations on the foam or anything...I am very pleased with the bed and considering buying one for my younger grandbabies when they come over as they love to lay on it with the dogs anyway.

Our 65 lb. American Bulldog/Pit Mix destroys most all toys including some of the Kong Rubber ones. Got this one for him in December and he has just now destroyed it. But, I might add, he was only given it occasionally and did not "tug" with it daily. He loves it though and gave me that sad face when I tossed it in the garbage. I will purchase him another and hope that I can make it last a while.

My dog outgrew the kong without destroying it, and she's quite a chewer. I took it out of her toy collection (she loves toys) because I was afraid she would swallow it whole. I found another one out in the yard recently that was sort of cracked and dried out from having been out there for a few months but overall they're really sturdy.

My dog loves the bed and uses the bolster cushion as a pillow. She is about 50 lbs.

The firmness of the bed along with the tight fitting cover has held up well to the dogs efforts to roll or ball it up. It also has some weight to it,making it less likely to be folded up easy.

It will hold up to it being "pawed" at. If your dog decides to chew it that is a different story. I have bought 3 of them and rotate them from the freezer for my 7 month golden. I use a pillow case to cover it after I take it out of the frezzer.

The cover is not soft but similar to a jean material and easily machine washable. As far chewing, it would depend on how intense the chewing is. My German Shepherd is not interested in chewing the material. I recommend this bed and so does my German Shepherd.

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.

My rottie chewed the legs a bit in the beginning, but has since lost interest. There is no major damage, unlike the buckets (metal and plastic), and wood dog house she destroyed. Another thing, she likes to jump into the bed like a trampoline, and I've heard her scratching (digging?) at the canvas and it's still in good shape.

Nah. I love the durability of this bed. My Goldie loves to dig and so I bought an extra micro-fleece duvet cover for it. My pug loves to sleep in it with her and without her too. It's really soft, warm, and holds up nicely. The Goldie digs until her bed is just right for sleeping. I can't believe I've had this for a year now! :) It the really cold weather I put the space heater in front of the bed. The pug never leaves it. Ha!
