this dog bed is very attractive ..... when it arrived, it had a very heavy aroma of some type of  polyfoam smell .....the dog wouldn't go near her new bed .....we have taken time to air the bed out, she still won't get in her bed, the smell has subsided somewhat, but still has a lingering smell ... ....this dog has been known to sleep on anything, but not this bed .....hopefully we will be able to to continue to air the foam out, we have the bed on the backporch to have fresh air saturate this dog bed ... the bed is well made, and the material used to cover is really nice ....just can't seem to remove the odor ......we will continue  to encourage the dog to sleep in her new bed ..........
