Dog Bed (Medium(41x37x6), Light Grey)

For the price I paid I thought I was getting a "more quality item". Please let me explain....dog "stuff" is out of control in prices and I do travel with all 5 of my chihuahuas. Yep, got one more added to the mix (she was dropped off bc I'm apparently known in my neighborhood as the person who works with "troubled/abused" chihuahuas - the lady drove right up to my house, asked my name handed me a screaming puppy covered in feces and sped off - I didn't have time to take a picture of her license plate bc I was mowing my yard). Anyhow, all my dogs travel with me, I like to make them comfortable bc it makes for a more enjoyable and carefree drive. Let me tell you, it is fluffy, so that means after washing gotta air dry and then dryer to fluff, the non-skid nubs come off in the wash and really do not hold it in place. That's okay. I mean my dogs are not the rough and tough, rowdy type of dogs. They love the fluffy aspect, they love to hide underneath it and it lays well on hotel beds. The stuffing in the "cradle" is NOT up to snuff. I bought an orthopedic bed for the dogs and the stuffing in that - INCREDIBLE, (has lasted me years) alas I can not say that about this item. I also would like to say the the fabric or quality of the furry blanket is MEH...... it feels like it contains cotton in the fabric/fur rather than being all man-made fur/fabric is a minus. it is NOT silky smooth. It has the appearance in all the photos of being silky and oh so inviting but trust me, I have farmer hands and this is NOT a kind soft and fluffy that you wanna sink into. I have found that with Pets - man made fabric for bedding is amazing - it doesn't hold accidents and it doesn't hold scents, it's much easier to wash, air dry and I don't have to fluff up in the dryer. I LIKE this dog bed enough to keep it - I don't love it. I'd tweak it a tad if I was the manufacturer - more stuffing in the "cradle/neck part", more resilient, a scrid of padding in the flatter portion and a silkier, man made fur for the pets. Perhaps I'm a snobby buyer - but honestly...I do consider my pets items for comfort, durability and can I clean this properly without stink holding on. I'd say go ahead and buy this and judge it for yourself. My dogs are not as picky as I am. You will LIKE this bed, you may even love it - I'm just giving you my take on this item. Good luck, hope you enjoy and either way your pet(s) gonna enjoy it.
