Is this good for a 10 week old chocolate lab puppy? Her padded bed has already been chewed up.

not ideal for a 10wk old lab or any decent sized puppy.. they are chewers when they are teething and this will last for several months... old towels and blankets are ideal (yard sale, thrift store, movers blankets and so on.)

Not sure since my dog isn't a chewer but I can tell you my Florida kennel actually provides these for each dog. I'm guessing the beds must be pretty sturdy for them to do that. The fabric feels heavy duty and it's pulled taunt on the metal frame. You could try it and if your puppy chews on it put the bed away until that stage passes. Good luck, puppies can be a costly challenge but worth it.

My two labs scratch like maniacs on their's and have not damaged them yet. Hope that helps!

The first thing they chew is the label. Make sure you take it off! The next thing they chew are the corners, so in answer to your question, a lab puppy would probably find a way to chew it up.

We have had two of these beds, and while for years they were used by older dogs, we now have a puppy too. He did chew the label off but that's as far as he has gotten! We keep ours outside, if you want it in the house you will need to buy rubber ends for the "feet" as they are just metal poles, but would be easy to find at a home improvement store like home depot. I have thought about getting one for indoors but instead bought a toddler bed and use that as the dogs bed.

I think a puppy would figure out a way to chew through the mesh. Having three dogs at home, I can say our trainer told us not to consider giving a "chewing pup" a bed until they were 2 years old. ( we were told that after going through countless beds! Lol ). We just used old or inexpensive blankets or towels for their beds.

I bought this because my 11 month old plott hound chewed through 2 beds! This has been great!! He really can't get to the mesh because of the metal edges. I have used it for a year and a half and have had to replace the mesh twice because of holes from wear, and toes! But the mesh is so reasonable, it's not a big deal. I would recommend it!

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.

The frame is stainless steel so I don't think it's pleasure for the puppy to chew on it.

Hmmm, good question. The top covering over the foam appears to be worthy of years of use by humans. I could only suggest that you put a tougher material mattress cover on it. But if your dog is a digger, well, who knows? But I do know I love my mattress. Best sleep I've had in a very long time. Best of luck.

I was it weekly and have had it for six months (for my dog) It is holding up very well. As long as the puppy doesn't chew it up it should be fine.

This bed isn't really a chewable object because the fabric is tight. I just raised a large puppy ... she managed to chew the wood trim, a pair of binoculars and other items. But didn't chew the bed that was just replaced. The previous bed lasted for several years - it was a good buy. my old arthritic dog loves it and the new puppy is on the bed with him. So it's holding two dogs of about 120 pounds. If your dog likes to scratch to make a bed, you might put a blanket on it.

At only 3 months old, I'm not sure. I don't think it would hurt her if she is eating kibble, puppy food, etc. If she is exhibiting this behavior problem, best to ask your vet to be sure. I crumble it up with dry food & low fat cottage cheese.

Well, I can't tell you for sure because my lab doesn't scratch the bed, but I can tell you that I have been impressed with all of the materials including the cover. It's a pretty tough material, so my guess is that so long as you kept up with your dog's nails, that you would be okay for a good while.

It is certainly a comfy bed and has proven beneficial for my dog; however, I am not a vet and cannot give any valid advice. I hope your pup does well, I have a mini hotdog too. good luck.

I haven't noticed any difference, but I have a large dog that is a heavy chewer and she makes short work of them--gone in 20 minutes. Don't know how old your puppy is--could she be teething and have sore gums?

My lab loves to chew and she loses these before she so much as dents them. We've had one set over a year.

I think these treats would be difficult for her to chew.They are hard and she needs something soft.If you're looking for something soft try Wellness Wellbites.They come in different flavors and my dog likes them very much.Good luck!

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.

Mu.lab had destroyed several beds in this one she is loving it have had no problem great bed wish I would have bought it months ago.

I would say no because my lab already has teeth marks in it! Don't get me wrong it's a great toy for her and is holding up for the moment. (On a side note my old shepherd had a green -star mark i think- ball that he was never ever able to destroy! Got a little sticky but that was it � and the lab didn't destroy it either, she just didn't like it as much as he did!)

Absolutely, my 48lb BC mix walks into it and sleeps in it at night by is choice. He easily got out of other crates I had that were in the $200 range. His brother is fine in the other type to a degree, he chewed all the plastic. The cage you are considering doesn't have anything for chewing. It's a great cage, I highly recommend this cage, price is high but worth it!

It probably is....... It provides comforts for puppies and helps with separation anxiety. If the puppy ate tore it up, I don't think it would cause any harm to the puppy. I have purchased 3 different ones and the puppies have never eaten them like a play toy.

Our first dog never even tried to chew it because it's such a hard plastic. Our second dog did chew the plastic and made a hole, but the company replaced the legs he gnawed on. I think it's worth t because there is a one-year warranty on anything the dog chews on the bed, but if your dog has chewed metal?! I'm not sure what will happen?

I'm not sure. My Terrier chewed threw it it less than a day. I had to purchase a different bed. Apparently it's quite tasty :)
