Is this really chew proof? We have a belgian malinois and he chews EVERYTHING that is in his kennel, from the metal water bowel and 2 igloo houses.

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.

This bed is definitely chew proof! My miniature pinscher destroyed 6 beds before this one and hasn't been able to make even a mark on it!

My dog is a powerful chewer but hasn't chewed on the bed. I'm not sure how well it would hold up if she decided to chew it. The legs are made out of pretty solid pvc and the canvas is thick. The company has excellent customer service. I was missing a piece of the bed when I unpacked it (on the weekend). I sent an e-mail to the company and heard back from them the same day and they sent the missing parts out right away. Good luck.

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?

Neither of mine are chewers but it has thick plastic legs. But honestly I don't see why it can't be chewed. Maybe your pup needs a nylabone. I give mine carrots too. Good luck!

I am not really sure if it's chew proof or not, both of my labs were out of the chewing stage when I got the cots. The only thing they could chew would be the legs or rails and it is made of hard plastic. the fabric part is enclosed in the tubes so they can't get their teeth into that. Of course anything you put on top of it would be chewable but I think the cot would be fine. My dogs love them.

not at all! my dog is an extrem chewer and he had the middle piece out within two hours.. dumped out all the treats.. and then got his lip and two teeth stuck inside the hole.. we had to throw it away after 2 days.

The gate is made of wood and I would think if you have puppies that like to chew, the gate could get damaged. My dogs are about 6 years old and haven't tried to chew on the gate. I have the gate positioned in a wide doorway and it hasn't been knocked down, I think the stability depends on how you position the gate. I was very pleased with the quality of the gate, the finish and the look for the price I paid.

Definitely not chew proof although I have 2 goldens who have chewed every bed I ever bought them except this bed!Not sure if they just love it so much they don't want to chew it or if it's just more difficult to chewRegardless- would definitely recommend!!!

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.

Labs (including my own) are notorious for ingesting inappropriately large pieces of whatever they're chewing. I really have to watch him with any rawhide - a couple of times almost had to Heimlich him before he gagged it up. If your dog displays any signs of lethargy or distress eliminating, definitely get him to the vet to x-ray his stomach. Most of these products have warnings about the dangers of such incidents. Thanks for the heads-up though...my guy may need to live without them, even though it looks like something he'd enjoy!

This is a metal crate. I doubt a dog chewed it up unless is had titanium dentures....

I don't think it will survive being chewed. That said, my blue heeler destroys all stuffed toys but does not chew her bed which is soft like a stuffed toy.

My puppy has been chewing on one of these for several months. Hasn't been a problem for her. It has helped keep her teeth clean.

My puppy has tried to dig out as well but it hasent done any damage or scratched it at all. She has also chewed on the cage a lot but it is still in good condition unlike other cages that bend.

So far, it is the only toy other than they hardened plastic nylabones that our 90+lb. Golden Retriever hasn't been able to destroy. I would say he is a very aggressive chewer but I don't know if he is a match for a 100 lb. Rottweiler. He sometimes can get the treats out of the ball and eats those in seconds. I haven't figured out how he is getting them out of there because I have a hard time getting them in (I have to use a butter knife to pull out on the lip of the ball to fully seat the treat). So other than he my lick one side of the treat until he gets an edge he can grab hold of and pull it out, it tends to last him for days and keeps him thoroughly occupied. The ball itself is a softer rubber, so an aggressive chewer might be able to rip it up. If you decide to try it, give it to your dog when you are around to watch and see if he just chews the rubber to bits, or just licks at the treat.

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.

Definitely. I have a large pitbull that ate through one of those extreme kongs without hesitation but as longs as there is a treat in the end she was more fixated on the treat than destroying the toy itself. It took her a few hours to eat the treat ends as well

My doxie has good sound teeth and she takes several minutes to chew this thing up...it is a HARD stick, not brittle, its chewy but its hard. If your Dog has teeth issues I would not suggest this at all. I think you could search for "get naked low calorie soft chews" or something similar to that, to get a GOOD for your pet treat...as my girl LOVES these, she whines for them, so I feel its a great product, MADE IN THE USA too! Hope you can find something =)

Yes... I have two beagles that love to chew & have no problems with that. I do attach two during clips to the door so they don't get out because one of my beagles knows how to open the latch & its fairly easy to open for her.

My 26 kilo Foxhound has chewed his way out of 3 wire crates and completely destroyed my apartment back in the US. He has never even tried to break out of this thing and it is like his own little cave. We trained him to sleep in there 2 months prior to our departure and the TSA people and the airline check in folks were impressed by his love of the crate. We still have this behemoth thing set up in out apartment in Berlin as it the only place he feels safe during a big thunderstorm or when people are setting off fireworks. There does not seem to be any real place for a dog to chew out of this thing and the door and latches are very sturdy. The added ability to zip tie the door shut adds to the security.

I have a 45 lb lab mix that chews everything to bits. This is one strong toy that she can't seem to tear apart. Yet. She loves to push it around and make the treats come out now that she has it figured out. Hope that helps.
