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.

Looks like it, feels like it but surely doesn't hold up like it. My dog has shredded five terra cottas but not a single green one. Maybe she just doesn't like the color.....

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.

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!

I'll be honest. I haven't tasted it, and my dog Elmer isn't very good at expressing himself with the spoken word. However, it doesn't smell fishy to me. It doesn't smell like anything in fact, and Elmer loves it.

I had the same problem, and my dogs nails continued to grow and grow. It was terrible. I had to take my dog to the vet to have them removed, it was terrible.

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 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.

I just looked at mine and I'd say he is cream (not yellowish or dingy), very similar to the photo. I don't think I'd say he's the color of vanilla ice-cream, though, he's a bit darker than that. In the photo, it looks like he has a light above him so his color varies a little in the photo, but I'd say he's closest to the color of his paws in the photo.He's a very cute bear in person, too.

Mine had a little bit of a texture. It was not smooth compared to a different one I have.

Bone is extremely hard. Possibly made out of cow femur or pig femur. They all like the sweet potato, and peanut butter. Did try the meat one and they were not interested. You may want to order all three flavors to see which one you dog would like. I also ordered the large bone even on my small dogs. It does keep them occupied for awhile. My airdale terrier can clean out the middle in 15 minutes. No worries. Your dog won't get sick or be able to chew through it.

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

My Labradoodle has fluffy paws and it seems to get the dirt out well enough that I don't see dirt on the towel when I wipe them. IDK about under nails.

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.

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.,

Oh, really?! Mine isn't scratchy to me at all. I mean, it IS faux. It's not going to be anywhere near the kind of softness of real mink. This is really subjective, of course, but on a scale of 1-10 of softness, hmmm, I guess maybe I would give it a 7 or thereabouts. It's so hard to rate. As far as shedding, I've had absolutely no shedding. I think I read a review or two of people who had ordered this item before I did and they said there was some shedding. I just didn't experience any of that. I've had mine now for over a year I think and it's like brand new, no shedding and I just adore it. Hope that helps. :) Oh, really?!

God's best blessings on you, Christ-follower! It is soft furry. Very nice, only concern it is a bit 'slippery', and we sometimes have to pick it up off the floor in the middle of the night. See you in the Kingdom.
