K&H Pet Products Original Dog Bed (Open Box)

I bought this bed when it went on sale for my dog's K&H cot bed. This is the softest, plushest pad I've found yet, but it is NOT suitable if you have cats (at least cats with claws who like to knead their bedding). My cats and dog absolutely love it but in less than a week, my cat who doesn't have good "claw control" has pulled multiple pieces of fluff out of it while kneading the bed before settling in. Now it has strings of fuzz starting to come out and looks horrible. Once she realizes that a bed will shed like this, she'll start picking at it intentionally and try to eat the pieces that come out, so I have to keep cutting off the loose pieces and will probably end up donating it rather than let her destroy it. If you don't have cats, this is a really nice bed. I have it on a bed downstairs and I'm currently being shunned by a cat who would rather sleep on this pad in the chilly basement than in one of the many other beds upstairs! My dog happily curls up on it when she has a chance before the cat(s) claim it, too. They're not as plush, but the other off-brand cot pads I've bought here are both cheaper (cost) and haven't shed at all in spite of multiple washings, the bed-picking cat, and my dog flailing around in the bed with her toys. I don't have high hopes for what this one will look like after I wash it. If you have cats who have any inclination towards picking at their beds, try one of these instead: "Furggis" brand, ASIN B0CJ8S8PZG (also preferred because their mat has straps with hooks so you don't have to pull them up and through the legs of the bed!) "Midlee" brand, ASIN B08J8DWQM8
