even though they are expensive, itl save me money on washing and drying the sleeping bags that were covering their old beds. i wanted the waterproof element so i will have to cover the hole when i hose it down..

One of my collies would bunch up anything between his front paws and chew the corner off. I got into Tuffies because, in their range, they had some oval beds with no corners to chew 

I think I'd need one of those for Skip  - but couldn't see one on their online shop.  I'm going to measure his pen for the 'unchewable' one then will phone them to see if they still have ovals as I have a plastic bed I could put one of them into.

Every year he gets an allergy to some mite that's in the hay or straw and gets bald/scratchy patches.  Usually it's controlled by three months' Frontline but not this year  .  So I think it's time for a manmade bed for the old faithful.

i caught the terrier red-handed this morning pulling out the stuffing...tut tut..i will have to get some more chews to keep the occupied and hope it doesnt set off any fights. the labrador scoffs everything insight so need something longlasting.
i might see if tuffies can repair it as they are only an hour away from me. then spray all the corner with anti-pecking spray (excellent stuff, stopped my daughter from sucking her fingers straight away and it was her idea!)

One of our Labs likes to nest or de stuff things although she has a lot of teddies that are in tact and the funny thing is, she is starting to steal the puppy toys.....I now just use old pillows and make a pillow case from large fleece coves or vet bedding, I have the hard bed but its also a bit big for a small room, our room is large and it tucks into a corner, I would love a purpose build bed but then can see why people use their sofa!

We have to have a sofa in the living room where the Doberman sleeps that doesn't have any removable cushions at all. The Ikea Klippan ones are the ones we use, it's surprisingly hard to find ones without the removable cushions but those dont. However they aren't the most comfy sofas (but at least they are cheap and have removable covers)

Thanks - that's the page I am on.  Perhaps jaykay meant the unchewable moulded one when she said they did oval ones; I had imagined she meant they did an oval flat bed, like the rectangular ones but oval.

we have Ikea pretend leather sofas and they are virtually indestructible!! I would love to chop and change sofas but the ones we have are so practical with messy me and husband and dogs!! When I go into B&M, a cheap store that sells all sorts, the throws that are lovely and fluffy, are cheaper than most dog bedding, I bought 2 and have made them into covers, well I have done one as my sewing machine has come unthreaded , I love them but would like a good zip in them......I think dogs like curved beds  (or sofa's)

I bought oval flat beds the first time, not the moulded ones, but this time when I bought the new ones, they didn't seem to do the oval ones - shame.

The rectangular ones I did buy do have rounded off corners so it does help - they would still be hard to get a 'mouthful' of.

I can really recommend the Really Tough Tuffie. With 5 dogs, various breeds, these are the only ones I have found that they cannot chew and destroy! Have also got the waterproof flat bed for my GSD but when my springer 'got to it' he managed to chew the corner even though it is quite a tough material. Hope that helps.

tuffies have offered to sew it back up again - but the terrier has started on the other corner now. its not even his bed  - its for the lab with sore elbows ..grrr

i wonder how chewable a raised bed is. £160 for a really tough tuffie does raise my blood pressure a wee bit.
