This bed seemed so great when I first got it, but I have a Doberman and within the first day he ripped apart the sides. The stuffing inside must have been the problem, Their smell is amazing!  I never realized he would chew through it! I hand sewed back up and he didn't touch the bottom. So I am crossing my fingers that it he will leave it alone. I know it's the dogs fault that it got chewed, but I figured with the way it was made it would hold up a little longer than one day.  My only suggestion is make sure your pet is not a big dog that still likes to "nest" cause this bed will not hold up. ;)
