Indestructible Dog Beds 

-Finding The TRULY Indestructible

dog bed that is indestructibleIt you’re the owner of a large chew-happy dog, finding truly indestructible dog beds can seem next to impossible.

 You shell out a hundred bucks for a supposedly tough bed and your dog has it in shreds within a week...

 

 

It may not seem like it right now, but there really are virtually indestructible dog beds out there. It’s just a matter of knowing what to look for.

 

Construction and Material
Sometimes material you think would stand up to your dogs chewing and digging isn’t really as strong as it seems. Cordura or heavy-duty, luggage-grade nylon are both popular options.

For a softer, warmer choice, one tough dog bed material that may come as a surprise is microsuede. It’s cozy and comfortable for you dog, but can also take a lot of abuse. Whatever you choose, remember that cotton and polyester just won’t cut it.

 

For the REALLY Rough Dog Bed Destroyer

While there are some indestructible dog beds made completely out of soft material, if your dog’s really rough on things, look for a bed that’s raised off the ground on a steel, aluminum, or poly-resin frame.

This construction makes your dog a lot less likely to try to chew through the bed and unlikely to do much damage even if it does try.

The filling is also something you’ll want to consider. If your dog loves to dig before it beds down, one option is to skip filling altogether and get your dog a mat or hammock-style bed. If you want a filled bed, choose something fairly tough like foam or Fiberfill rather than feather.

 

Some brands to consider
When it comes to tough, chew-proof dog beds, some manufactures do better than others. Naturally, those companies that specialize in cute furniture-like bed designs for toy breed dogs aren’t likely to have what you’re looking for. Instead, stick with manufacturers like Kuranda, Caddis, and Canine Cushion, which specialize in sturdy beds for large dogs.

While no dog bed is 100% indestructible if your dog is determined enough, there are a number of virtually indestructible dog beds on the market that will give your pooch many nights of good sleep before they start to show serious wear.
