I'm pretty sure a dreamland filled with squirrels and people food-turned-treats is what coaxes our family rescue puppy into a full-out paws-up sprawl. That being said, the cozy faux sheepskin top of this pillow bed might have something to do with his blissed out snooze fests too. The medium size allows our 10-lb. floof to curl up or stretch out as he likes, and the snuggly loft keeps him off the chilly floor. When he gets the zoomies, he does like to claw and thrash the pillow, but it's held up perfectly so far. (I cover the surface with a blanket.) Vigorous regular vacuumings haven't caused any wear and tear either. The pillow arrived tightly rolled up like a sleeping bag, and though I hoped it would flatten out, it has been months, and one side is still higher than the other. He doesn't seem to mind, but I did have the kids sit on it a lot at first to make the unevenness less drastic.
