What's the best bed for a destructive chewer?Updated 9 months ago

If you have a dog that has a history of chewing up all their bedding—especially if they do it quickly—then you're going to want one of our Chew Proof Armored style beds. These are our strongest beds, and the only ones that we make that are considered chew proof.* The frame is 100% aluminum, even the powder-coated corners, which protects the edges of the bed from teeth, while the fabric in the middle is pulled tight so that your dog can't get it between their jaws. If your dog likes to scratch or dig in addition to chewing, we recommend either the Chew Proof Armored Rip-Stop Elevated Dog Bed, or the Chew Proof Armored Vinyl Elevated Dog Bed. 

Our Tough Rip-Stop beds, on the other hand, are heavy duty beds made to withstand scratching, digging, and rough horseplay, but they aren't intended for dogs that bite down hard and gnaw away at a bed until it rips. If you do have this kind of chewer, we do not recommend our Tough Rip-Stop style. 

*Please note that no bed is 100% indestructible. Please keep persistent or heavy chewers supervised when first introducing the bed to ensure no issues, and if damage occurs, remove the bed from your dog's access immediately.
