The dogs like it, but to form it into the shapes shown, the fasteners are elastic loops and 2 buttons, both of which were almost immediately destroyed by the dogs, not to mention the plastic buttons were a worrisome choking hazard for my new puppy. I know it's hard to make anything dog-proof, but this item would have been much safer, even if prone to being shredded, if the fasteners had involved fabric ties instead of elastic loops and plastic buttons. Also, the furry side of this item is incredibly soft when it arrives, but once you wash it, even when you follow the washing instructions to the letter, it gets much rougher and less velvety soft.
