Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

We bought the XL bed for our 94 lb pitty 4 weeks ago after growing tired of having to throw out too many beds that had been mashed flat through normal use. I am impressed with the comfort level of the bed and the apparent quality of the foam portion. Our girl is very pleased with her new sleeping arrangement as well. If you check the picture I've included you'll see there is almost no compression of the bed and she's as comfortable as a dog can be. Pros: - Very comfortable bed. Doesn't squash flat like a lot of other dog beds do. - The outer cover is removable and washable. First dog bed cover that seemed to actually have had some thought put into the cover dimensions because it was super easy to remove the cover, wash it, and put it back on. - Once you take the cover off you find another water repellent cover encasing the bed foam. Another plus. Cons: - Just one. The cover. The material is not going to hold up. We've had this bed 1 month now and I thought it was going great. When I took the cover off and held it up to the light I found an alarming number of places where light was shining through the fabric where the dog's nails have nearly pierced it. She's not digging or pawing at it. Once I examined the material up close I could see that cover is not made of a very durable material and will require replacement soon. Yes, we are happy with the bed comfort level and overall bed construction but with a cover replacement already looming in the near future I will be exploring how much it will cost to have someone craft a better solution from a good weight water resistant duck canvas. This may be a non-issue for those with smaller dogs unless they are pawing/digging at the bed. Though I would recommend this bed to others, the seller's cover replacement price of nearly $50 is (in my opinion) too high for what you get. Rather than shelling out two or three times a year for replacement covers not nearly durable enough for our doggo I'd rather spend a little bit more and have a way more durable cover built by someone local. 1 star removed because of perceived cover durablity.
