My GSD loves his new bed! I was afraid he might chew on it so I put it under his old bedding for a few days so he could get the scent of the new one. Did that for 2 nights. He loves it. Sleeps soundly through the night. No more restlessness. His little brother loves it too! (Beagle/Jack Russell Terrier). Out Bluetick girl sleeps on the throw on the bed.
