I must be honest and say I was disappointed with this dog cushion. The first reason being it does not appear to be as the photo depicts, secondly and this is very important I found that the fibres were shedding and my dog was digesting this. He started sneezing and coughing so please wash this cushion before use, or I would recommend you place this cushion inside a dog bed or basket and cover it with a blanket, this is what we have done. Our dog is very comfortable and warm and we are without the worry of him digesting the fluff and fibres.
