Kuranda Chewproof Dog Bed - Walnut PVC - 40" x 25" - Cordura Nylon - Smoke

I have two Australian Shepherds that destroy EVERYTHING. They even chew each other’s collars off and the only toy that stands up to their wrath is kongs. I have previously tried big “chew proof” strong nylon beds (destroyed, green fluff everywhere) and another cot bed (chewed right through the middle because the edges did not tuck into the sides like this one).I LOVE THIS BED!! I can finally give my destructive dogs a cot to sleep on off the floor. Have had for a few months now and still not a scratch or chew mark! I’m so happy I can finally give them something nice to make them more comfortable!I bought a Large bed for starters to test the “chew proof-ness”, and both of my 40-45# Australian Shepherds lay on it together with just enough room, but not too crowded. I have this bed out in our “dog house” that is basically the porch attached to the house that leads outside so they can go in and out. We live in Minnesota and have had an especially cold winter this year. The porch we have is not heated but is insulated and keeps the dogs out of the elements, the cot is in there so I would say it’s withstood cold weather conditions. I actually got the plastic over the metal because the metal would get super cold obviously.Was very easy to put together and is very sturdy PVC and the great design where there is no edge of the fabrics top so there is no corner for the dog to start chewing at.I am buying more for inside too! Definitely recommend for unmerciful chewers!

This review is only a bit premature. I've only had the bed for 1 day. I will update after 6 months and 1 year. (I said 1 month but I honestly forgot)So far it's the best dog bet yet. It was super easy to put together and the instructions were very clear.I have two miniature doxies, Casey and Bebo. Casey is 6 and has pretty bad arthritis in his hips from a fall he had as a puppy where he broke both legs at the growth plates. He hobbles and isn't ever really comfortable without meds. I had taken to letting him sleep with me because sleeping on the floor made him stiff and it hurt to get up after laying for so long.As soon as I got the bed put together and showed them that it was theirs they jumped on (I helped Casey, that kid doesn't jump) and laid down. They then stayed there until they wanted to go outside, and upon re-entering they laid right back down. When Casey stood up to go outside, he didn't cry out like he normally does. Instead he got up and stepped off without pain.We will end up getting shorter legs or cutting these in half. They are about 6 inches long and Casey's legs are only 4 inches. He can't get up without help. Other than that, so far so good!UPDATE/// We put Casey down in June (he had a slipped disc and was paralyzed) and were given another puppy the same month. We now have Bebo and Bonnie. Both dogs love the bed and lay on it constantly. We did not cut the legs in half because I put a step in front of the bed that the dogs use.The fabric doesn't sag at all. The dogs jump on the bed from far away and I swear they think it is a trampoline. We took the bed to my mom's house and her rottweiler jumped on and claimed it. She ended up buying the same size for her dog and no sagging there either.We got the Cordura fabric and it truly is tough as nails. It is waterproof fabric so any liquid that gets on the bed doesn't leak onto my floor before I can grab a towel. I usually wash it off in the shower and set it outside in the sun once a week. The dogs love laying on it when it is outside.We will never own another kind of bed.

This is the 6th bed we have purchased in the nearly six months since we got our dog, a American Staffordshire Terrier mix that LOVES to destroy things. I had seen this style of bed before but was hesitant to get it since the dog spends most of the day in her crate. We leave a bed in there for her since it seems to prevent her from peeing in her crate and calms her down. All her beds to this point have been soft, pillow type. We figured since they were made of ripstop type material that they would be able to last with her. We were wrong!We take the dog to doggy daycare and they use Kuranda beds, although they have some of the older models where there are cutouts at the corners of the fabric. We finally decided to try one since she had torn through three beds in a matter of days (some stressful things happening, so it was understandable). It was more cost effective to get this than spending $20+ per bed. The year warranty also helps.The Setup:It is pretty straightforward with setting up, but there are some things I would like to see, mainly some protection around the metal parts and they should include a small screwdriver and wrench. Getting everything lined up was a bit of a hassle, especially working on my own. I recommend having an extra set of hands when putting it together.The Fit:The crate our dog uses in 42"x28" with a plastic tray bottom. We got the large bed, 40"x25" and it fits perfectly in the crate. We did remove the legs to drop the bed about 4" since it was affecting the dog being able to sit up properly in the crate. The bed is able to pull through the door, if necessary, which makes cleaning it easier.Our dog loves the bed and has not tried to chew on it (yet). I would definitely recommend spending the money for this bed if you have a dog that destroys other beds. It is worth the money that you will save and it is surprisingly comfortable for the dog.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------UPDATE: This bed has last longer than any other bed by far and she loves it. She had not once tried to tear into it at all. The only downside is the shed hair sticks to it and is not easily removed, even by a vacuum. I know Kuranda has replacement mesh which I might get just to have the spare. While it is expensive it also saves money on what you would spend on multiple beds as your dog tears through them.
