This is the 4th one I have purchased. We have a very smelly dog and so to be able to wipe this over is great it dries quickly she loves it with it without a cover on it. And a fabric bed is a no go for us. I have washed them in the washing machine but it does decrease the life of them as the plastic backing on the inside of the outside cover starts to break up after about 5 washes and the internal material shreds. I only wash them to prolong their use as we have a good one for the lounge and the other one for her bed. To be honest Im happy to buy 2 a year to have a fresher home. Cant imagine buying anything else. Its a bit noisy and rustley but you get used to that and our dog loves it.

Bought medium for 7m Golden Retriever (24kg), it appeared to come up slightly smaller than the dimensions given - presumably that is because of the depth. Arrived quickly and looks robust. Initially Maggie was hesitant to use it (she was used to a soft lined bed with sides) but I squished out excess air to make it softer and placed the duvet in a cloth cover (single bed size more than adequate) this made it less of a contrast. She now sleeps on it quite happily and is less restricted when she stretches/turns over. We will try removing the cover in a few weeks ... Size wise, although she can currently lie flat out on it I anticipate buying the large size at a later date...

Great value and tough last longer than any other dog bed I've tried
