I run a non-profit canine rescue organization. Most of our lifelong residents have physical impairments. We use toddler beds with crib mattresses for some of the dogs, but others can't step up that high. I ordered this bed in the extra large size for our 80 lb. Pit Bull Terrier mix, Blue Gene, and he absolutely loves it! No problems whatsoever with the bed or any toxic odors upon arrival. I put it out on the patio for about 30 minutes and it was fluffed up and ready to use. My dogs are my world and I'm so happy that they can enjoy little luxuries like this after all that they've been through. Blue Gene and I highly recommend this bed :).
