My English Bulldog can't get enough of his new bed. The cover is soft and has stood up to his nails so far. The inner zippered bag means when his weight eventually smooshes the filling down, I can replenish it and extend the life. We got him the extra large so he has room to sprawl out and it's just the right amount of space. Just to be safe, I wash the cover in a mesh garment bag since I have had bed covers in the past fall apart after just a few washings. This one seems to be holding up quite nicely and we hope to have it for years to come.
