My dog can be a bit of a chewer at times. Has anyone had issues with the dog chewing the bed? Is it durable?

My dog is not a chewer, so I did not find it to be an issue. I have had the bed for several months - my boxer (~70lbs) loves it

one of my 4 dogs is a chewer and totally destroyed it. It did take him a while, but - yes, it is not impossible.

We have a Springer Spaniel that is super active and jumpy. We haven't had any issues with durability with her...we put the bed in a corner. She does not chew the bed however and a big chewer could certainly chew through this one. The one thing that I don't like about the bed is that the cover on the pad of the bed is of very low quality and doesn't fit the pad well. We are looking for a replacement cover.

I would avoid buying this bed, it's not durable at all. The joining system (plastics screws) are woefully weak and come apart after a few weeks

It's a nice bed, but if your dog is a chewer then she would probably chew on this too. My dogs are not aggressive chewers, but they did chew on the corners of this bed. They stopped, though, but not before there's a damaged corner on each bed. I think they were just curious as to what it would taste like and realized that it's not exactly something they'd like in their mouths.

My dog is about the same weight and I would call her a very aggressive chewer. This is by far her favorite chew toy and it has lasted way longer than I ever expected. It is chewed up pretty well, but she still loves it and it looks to last for a good while yet. You might want to give it a try. Good luck!

the top of the bed has a thick fuzzy material. it seems to be strong. my labs are not diggers on the bed so can't tell how it will hold up..have had for 3 months and no signs of damage. plus the stuffing seems to be firm. the beds havent flattened out like some others i've had..i will buy more..need a couple for my car

I've had mine for a couple months now. Sharing my bed are myself, my husband, and our toddler. (Don't judge me.) We all roll around quite a bit in our sleep, and I wash it about once a week, and have not yet noticed any tears, rips, loose threads, or pulled places. For as cheap as it is, it's holding up remarkably well.

My puppy is 7 months old now and chews everything but the doggloo. It is very durable. I would recommend this dog house above everything else I have seen

Mine did not have buttons, but it does have that leather looking patch (you can see it in the photo) sewn own, that a dog may be able to chew off. Over all, I would not classify it as a supper sturdy bed. It could be easily destroyed, if you have a dog or puppy that does that sort of thing. However it is very very washable, so if you are still working on crate training or your dog occasional has accidents, it is very easy to just throw the whole thing in the washer.

No but it's a great bed. Check the video online where a dog (pit bull?) tries for about 25 minutes to rip or chew the bed. He can't make a dent in it. We've had ours for about 1 year and after a scrub down it looks like new. Wouldn't buy any other dog bed...especially for a dog like ours who chews.

Sure, they are very durable. It went thru two yorkies and two strong chewing doxies :)

Doug, our 8-month old great dane, hasn't chewed on it either. He does give a good yank on it when he wants to go outside and it is holding up pretty well. He hasn't ripped it nor torn off any of the bells. I think it's pretty sturdy.

I've had this for a while now and haven't had any trouble with it starting to tear or break apart. It's been a little smashed because it's in the back with my kids, but it still maintains its shape as it did when it was new. I'd call that pretty durable; we've had no issues with it.

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.

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.

It's a pretty tough fabric. Unless he's actually clawing at it or digging on it it should be fine. It's hard to answer this question except to say I think it will be fine. I have a 90lb rottie that has been using it for over 2 years. She doesn't claw at it or mess with it though. I also put an old comforter I had on it. A dog certainly could destroy this though if it wanted to, but it's not going to happen by accident.

I think the bed is very durable. We have a six months Boxer. He drags his bed out of his crate and shakes it and plays with it. He loves this bed. I do have to take it to the laundromat to wash in a heavy duty machine. Next bed I buy will have a removable cover.

I would say it is tougher than any other dog bed. If your dog is intent on shredding it, that I'm sure it can be done. I don't think it's design appeals to chewers...just my opinion, but the material is attached in a way that would make it difficult to get their mouth on. Its a pretty tough & thick material anyway..and doesn't have a single snag, rip, or tear after my dog has trig to "dig" in it. She has never tried to chew on this..surprisingly enough, since she has shredded every blanket, bed, and pillow I've ever given her!

My phone has dropped so many times, my dog likes to chew on it no teeth marks nothing and I just got it for Christmas. So in my opinion yes its very durable.
