Gel Memory Foam Dog Bed - Waterproof & Anti-Slip for Large Crates (42"X28") - Perfect for Home & Travel

UPDATE: 2/2019: Purchase was made 12/2018. I’m updating my review as agreed to with Cassandra @ dogbed4less. While we weren’t able to initially reach an amicable solution, she recently reached back out to me to do so. With that in mind my “product review” remains, 2-stars. BUT I’m pleased to update my overall review inclusive of fine customer service; insofaras having a resolve I find very acceptable to remedy my specific situation.As I originally stated this is a fine product if it meets your dog needs, sadly it did not meet my “girls” needs, thus 2-stars. For my pointing lab Labrador retrievers (2 of my 3 girls) they can not tolerate shredded poly fill. I believe it to be an allergy or irritant and not just found in dog bedding. In human bedding, some toys. Shredded poly fill simply doesn’t work for our 2 chocolate labs. All from same breeder and bloodlines (same daddy, 3 diff mamma’s). The black one has no issue. No doubt for many this will be a fine and quality product.My most sincere thanks to Cassandra for her diligent follow up and assistance to reach a resolution. For that reason I have changed my overall rating to 4-stars.No dog bed is chew proof, us doggie moms n dads know that! Sadly, foam is made with something (poly?) our lab had terrible aversion to :(( we have 3 labs. 2 of 3 do not like bedding with this filling. In this instance, she incessantly scratched n scratched until cover tore exposing fill. Then imagine a pillow fight with pillow exploding, oh my!! Filling filling everywhere.Since we used as crate bedding it’s not something you realize until it’s way too late! I wouldn’t call it a chewing problem I’d call it a filling product problem. I did ask seller if they would work with me to find or recommend a replacement. Or even credit a portion of cost toward a replacement with diff filling.For me, a waste of money bc of filling that lasted a day. If your dog is ok with this type of filling then it’s an excellent choice. Nice cover, color and feel of fabric. Just didn’t work for us. Our “girls” r def consistent w aversion to this type of filling.I have Saint Bernards and this is a great compromise of a bed for them. Typically they don't like big fluffy beds because they overheat too quickly. This gives my biggest guy some softness and support without being on the hard floor and he doesn't overheat on it. The problem is cleaning it is a nightmare. spot cleaning it is easy. But if anything else gets on it, like he had an accident recently and some diarrhea splattered on about a third of it, trying to wash it is nearly impossible. The first time this happened I washed it by hand and sprayed it down in the driveway. This caused a few cracks in the backing. I put it on a wire platform in order to let the air circulate and it dried in the hot summer sun in a couple of days and was like new minus the cracks on the back. The second time it is now fall and cold and rainy and I don't quite have the luxury to leave it outside in the hot sun. I tried putting it in the washer very gently and it has completely fallen apart on the back. I am sad because it is such a fabulous pad. he has a 4-in orthopedic dog bed in his crate and when he sleeps outside of his crate right next to it he loves this gel pad. Needless to say for the money I spent I am very sad that washing it and cleaning it has nearly destroyed it. So beware if you need to wash this, you may have a problem with it. Other than that, it is a fabulous bed and absolutely perfect for my biggest boy.We are so addicted to this mat! And I mean we, my dogs and me! I bought it because we were moving and I was planning to create a doggie room and have this mat for them to sleep on when it’s hot and they don’t want their fuzzy, warm beds. The plan was for it to be in the new house..was....because I brought it out of package to test it out and let me tell you, I laid on it and fell asleep with my dogs on it too Lol. Since then they haven’t left the my alone. Yes if you fold it and put force on the back it will probably rip on the plastic so instead roll it as it came, I learned that when I folded it and put a small flat tv on it. But it’s so worth it when you see your little or big doggies fall asleep for hrs on it and for yourself as a memory foam mat. Very recommended. It’s now in my new living room as we are barely settling in. If I ever get their room done lol I’ll show pics of it with their ahem I mean our mat!I'm sure this is pickier than most people would be, but it drives me nuts when a size is advertised and they short you. At least update the description to give more accurate dimensions. I want to know if it's going to fit where I need to put it, without leftover spacing.I've bought several and will continue to buy them since for the price they are a good value. My sugar like them for their crates and the neck of the Jeep in hot Florida.My dog is getting older and having trouble getting off her bed, also not making it out the door to pee. When I looked up dog beds I was looking for one that was low to ground and flat. The flatness of this dog bed made it so her balance is better and getting up is a lot easier on her. I will also say it is a soft bed, very good padding. My dog still has accidents, but I take out the bed hose it off let it dry. The covering is easy to run a sweeper over and keep clean. Nothing is perfect but this bed comes close.
