Our dog has outgrown this bed. We washed and dried it. It was easy to wash and dry. We were very pleased with it. Our Son was going to have it for his kittens. Our dog was most upset because we put the bed in the car. She let us know that she was very unhappy. She sulked. When we went to make a fuss of her. She turned her back on us and stared at the wall. We brought her bed back into the house. We put it down and she got into her bed with her head over the Side and promptly fell asleep.
