We recently added a young rescue dog to our family, who tends to submissive pee a bit, and who also loves to chew on stinky hooves and bully sticks. After going through several other supposedly "washable" dog beds in only a couple of months, we purchased two of these beds (one extra, to replace our JRT's sullied "washable" bed), in hopes that they would last. It has been quite a few spins in the washing machine later, and both of the beds are just as great as they were when we first took them out of the box. They must be comfy, because our older and normally picky Jack Russell loves hers -- and she usually prefers the couch. These beds are perfect: they're soft, they're durable, they keep their shape after washing, they fit perfectly in crates, and they come in a great selection of colors. We are very happy with our purchase!
