Unbelievable! LOL The bed is exactly as described; sage is dead on. Washed before letting my girls use them (ordered 2). They dove in right outta the dryer and started digging and rolling and flipping! LOL The reason I say "unbelievable" is because I got an expensive ortho bed for them and they never laid in it. This one is a fraction of the price and they love them! Go figure. Wienie dogs!!! LOL I say go for it if you have a picky puppy! The zipper closure (not whimpy) makes it easy to wash and there was no shrinkage in the cover at all. Washed with Woolite gentle cycle, no color loss, medium in the dryer. Back on the beds. Easy. 

Pros: Washes great! Didn't shrink!
