It's huge, but perfect! The cover is easy to wash and slide back on. I can attest to it having protection against accidents, we had one of the kitties decide she was going to use it for her personal potty chair (found out later she had an infection and that was her way of telling us); either way the foam inside was dry and that was important with this purchase.  Our dog loves it, when she can use it. It's just her size, she is a Husky, German Shepard mix. Sadly, she doesn't get to use it often, as my kitty fur babies think they have a right to it and they chase her off (I mean 3 girl kitties against a big dog?), even though they were gifted an 87.5" tree (really it's a condo) from us. Seems to me, this lounge bed is for all the kitties and our dog will have to jump on it when they're in their condo. What can I say? So far everything I have bought from Wayfair has met my expectations and the prices can't be beat!
