I ended getting a chew-resistant pad (read: old duvet) and stuffed it in there myself which seemed to solve the problem. Anybody else given this a shot with their own little monsters or just mine who has an insatiable need to destroy anything soft?! Can’t deny the boy his coziness, after all.
As for reaching out to Yeti, I doubt they’d have a hotline specifically for doggie beds- but oh boy wouldn’t that be something?! Still worth sending them some feedback thuogh. Maybe we’ll get a product line perfectly sized for our furry little Napoleon’s.
Fancy a chew toy annex for each dog bed in the mix? Now that would be a upselling masterstroke by Yeti 😂 How’s your experience been with durability, though? My Maxy has a habit of making confetti of any soft surface…
I ended up chucking a couple of Zeke’s favorite toys annd an old t-shirt of mine into the IKEA bed to make it more homey. Guess what? The little guy couldn’t resist the familiar smells and finally caved. So maybe trying something like that could work for you too! As for the Amazon chunky knit beds, I’ve heard good things but haven’t made the switch myself yet.
Anyone else tried turning their IKEA bed into a veritable fur-kid nest? It’d be interesting to hear if this worked for anyone else or if I jsut got lucky with my stubborn mule of a dog!
Here’s what worked for me though – getting an orthopedic dog bed from PetSmart. Slightly more pricy but worth every penny when I see how comfy Sparky is now! Anybody else found any dog beds that their pups love more than anything else?
Just out of curiosity, has anyone else’s dog turned their “indestructible” bed into a pile of fluff? Or is that just a Chubs special?
Oh man, the infamous Hello Kitty dog bed. I’ve gotta tell ya, my stubborn ol’ bulldog won’t give it a second look, fancy design or not. All the pink frilly stuff doesn’t really translate to comfort, ya know?
To be fair though, it seems well made – the material’s quite durable (trust me, my pup’s chewed it enough times). My advice? Go for substance over style when picking out a bed buddies! Anybody else have this same Hello Kitty “don’t care” doggo situation at home?
Maybe try something more orthopedic focused next time instead of fashionable. Ever heard of Memory Foam dog beds?
But if your heart’s set on spoiling them rotten (and whose isn’t?), I’ve found that you should generally go one size bigger than you think you need. Gives ’em a little extra room to stretch and roll around. From personal experience though, I’d reckon the Medium sized bed works well for most dogs.
By the way, have any of you tried the PupRug Faux Fur Memory Foam Orthopedic Bed? Alternatives are always worth considering and this one’s sure to give the Hermes a run for its money! Any thoughts on this?
Agreeing with some previous posts here, it’s comfy for humans too. Caught myself accidentally dozing off after testing it out when we first got it — smooth as butter! And I’ve noticed that it doesn’t sag like those cheap beds either, after a few years even!
Anyone else had a skeptical pup who took a while to adjust? It was hilarious seeing mine go from “I’ll stand all night but won’t touch your fancy cushion” phase before becoming a total napper on his deluxe throne. 🤣
Though keep in mind folks; every dog is different – size, breed and habits matter! Do your research or ask the vet before buying these kind’a stuff. Now if only they made Beautyrest beds for humans this good…🙄
And yeah, to answer your question on older dogs loving it- Rusty’s entering his golden years and seems to be really comfortable on the bed, less of that pesky arthritis pain. But hey, don’t take my word for it- Rusty’s snoring speaks for itself! So there’s a nod for you, Bedsure.👍 Although if anyone can recommend a cure for doggy snoring.. Now THAT would be a lifesaver.
Now durability? Different story my friends. This thing’s held up about as well as a chocolate teapot in a sauna. You know those delightful little fringes? Turns out they make for a smashing play-toy-slash-snack whenever Loki’s bored. Not great. Overall, solid aesthetics, comfort ain’t too shabby but doesn’t seem built for wear and tear – or pups with an adventurous streak!
I guess agree with whoever mentioned earlier not all that glitters is gold. Or fringe as it were hehe… Anyone else with chewers had any luck keeping their bed intact? Would love to hear any miracle stories or tips!
Anyways, important tip here guys. don’t just go by your dog’s breed size when picking one out. Measure them properly while they sleep and then missus and add some extra inches for maximum comfort. Yeah maybe shooter on budget but trust me – you won’t regret it!
Speaking of, has anyone tried their cooling gel beds? Any reviews on those? Might be good alternative for summer months, eh?
Now, askin’ folks whose dogs dine in bed for tips on avoiding mess…aren’t you setting yourself up for an unwinnable battle? Can anyone here realy convince thier dog not to drop munchies all over the place while feasting in their cozy Ugg kingdom? If so, do spill the magic secret! 😉
And yeah @PawsNCuddles, those fringes can get kinda matted from time to time (and by ‘time to time’, I mean once a freaking week). But honestly, I wouldn’t trade it – looking at Daisy lounging all day on that fancy piece is totally worth every minute I spend untangling them. Little advice for others considering buying one – deep cleanings are easier if you have a detangling spray handy!
@DogDad77 – Totally agree on the washable covers too! Such a relief when it comes to cleanup. Life’s way too short to stress about dog hair, amirite? Anyone else got a tip for maintaining these majestic beauties??🤷♂️
