My dog run, jumps and slides across my bed. His nails no matter how short rip fabric except real denim. Is this fabric strong like real denim?

NO. I don't recommend it, actually. I have to wash mine all the time because it shows everything. It already Has a couple of small holes in it. I guess you get what you pay for. A little ,ore spent, maybe it would have lasted longer. This winter i am going to look for one of those "bed In a bag" deals.

Janice. .I have a dog and a cat and so far, they have not damaged the fabric. My small aussie sometimes struggles to get on the bed but doesn't rip the fabric. So far so good

No! His nails will rip this comforter. Too bad he gets on the bed because this is a very nice comforter :)

It's not super strong fabric, it's enough to contain a dog, but I'm not certain it's chew proof. There isn't anything for them to chew on, nothing sticking out. My dogs are small and if they get to scratching or get excited to get out, it worries me that they will might through it. Hope this helps.

Our does eats other softer beds and is a moderate scratcher. The fabric seems durable in that it is stretched in order to assemble the bed (difficult assembly due to the fabric top needing to be stretched to fit the frame). We have found the bed to be durable and I feel confident that the bed would prove to be durable for a scratcher. In fact, I have not found any other fabric more durable than this. I hope this helps and good luck.

I've only had my Queen cover & split box spring covers since Jan., but the fabric is tightly woven & the construction seems VERY durable to me. The sides & bottom are of the same fabric (for mattress cover) and when pulled have a bit of a stretch to them -and the sides are pulled /kept together by a zipper on all 3 sides. The construction is superb. It seems logical with the tightness of the zipper joining the fabric (so no bugs come thru the stitching around the cover sides) that normal wear & tear from adult weight & kids tossing & turning on your mattress would NOT result in tearing. It was hard for us to zip it up (it takes two people) and the fabric was strong - if it were weak fabric, we would have seen small tears around where it was sewn due to our handling to make sure the twin box springs (& queen mattress cover) were tight & secure. I've also sewn clothes & repaired my kids clothes most of my life, and this product's fabric feels & seems quite durable. Q: Is your wood platform surface unfinished or does it have a rough surface that could produce splinters or tearing in the fabric's bottom, if there was lots of movement (e.g., jumping by kids) that could produce sliding of the mattress on the platform during use? How smooth is your large sheet of wood to touch? If it is not rough, you should have no problems. If you still have doubts, I'd suggest you contact the company directly if you are really concerned. The company should be able to give you the technical fabric specs (e.g., just like threads count for sheets determine their durability). Hope this helps.

It's pretty wimpy fabric. I just use it to remind my dog not to go into the garden. She (13 lb dog) could knock it down if she wanted.

My Golden destroyed the fabric. He's not an aggressive chewer, I think he just likes the material, he can seriously SHRED things. I have to close my bathroom doors because he likes to eat the TP. I thought my cats would be bad, nope the Goldie is. LOL.

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.

yes .. its seems very durable and thick... however if your dog has nails and likes to shred things ...it cud be torn..like any fabric

Hi Linda - I purchased this item for my 132lb rocky-lab mix - he does he same thing- it's a strong, cotton/nylon blend (?). Held up all summer - going into year #2. I hope that helps.

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.

I'd describe it as a soft denim type material. It's sturdy and easy to scrub clean. The material on mine have stood up to my big dogs for years of tough use, but I also keep a comforter over it (to add color to the room and also easy to toss in the washer to keep clean)

I would probably choose a less expensive fabric than this but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Depends if your dog is a chewer.

I think so. I have 4 Boxers and they all have had to use this. Unless he or she is an acrobat. It would be extremely difficult for them to do and usually dogs give up after a minuet or two. The best part of it for us was it keeps them from bumping into everything, and they can eat and drink without having to remove it. I'm not sure which brand would be best. Our first one was the best, but it was a gift. When it finally gave out I had a couple of others, not as good. Open it and look at the fabric and baffle to see if they look good. One time the seams of the fabric broke when the vet was applying it. I had to make an emergency trip to the pet store. Good luck I think so. I have 4 Boxers and they all have had to use this.

i wonder what kind of material you are using it on and what you are trying to get out of the fabric? Some fabrics won't release dog hair, no matter how good the brush I've noticed!

I ordered two beds. Only one was torn upon delivery, the other works fine. My dog is large and his untrimmed nails as well. Check you fabric before assembling to make sure it's not defective.

Sorry but I don't understand the question. Did you mean stain clothes. If that's the case, no. I have never experienced any running of the denim dye into any clothing items.
