This is not a chew proof bed. The ripstop ballistic fabric is durable and will hold up to wear and tear as well as digging, scratching, and light chewing, but it can be damaged by aggressive or persistent chewing habits. Despite being reinforced, the exposed corners can especially be a vulnerable point for heavy chewers that tend to home in on those spots. If you have a dog that routinely tears up their bedding, please consider one of our Chew Proof Armored™ beds instead.

This bed arrives in two parts:

• Gray and yellow pillow bed mattress, rolled.
• Tough Ripstop™ ballistic rectangle bed cover, folded. Typically found at the bottom of the box.

To assemble, simply unroll the mattress and allow it to expand. Then put the cover on, seal the closures, and it is ready to go.

The bed cover is made from 1200D ripstop ballistic polyester fabric, including the black bottom. There is a textured rubber coating on the bottom of the bed cover to prevent it from sliding. The inner mattress has a 600D ripstop ballistic liner made from polyester and is filled with CertiPUR-US shredded polyurethane foam.

This is a clearance item being sold at a deep discount. While it has the same durability as our full-price Tough Ripstop beds, it does not come with a warranty due to the price cut. If you have a more destructive chewer, please keep them supervised at all times when using the bed to prevent any damage from occurring.

Our ballistic material has a DWR treatment on top and a waterproof PU backing applied to the inner surface (original ripstop material only; velvet ripstop does not have these features). These additions will help keep water from soaking into the bed, but seams can be a point of entry for fluid. For that reason, our pads and beds are considered water-resistant, not 100% waterproof. Clean up spills as quickly as possible to reduce the chance of leakage into the bed, and avoid submerging the bed or allowing it to sit in puddled water.

Please note that water-resistance refers to regular water, as in moisture from weather, sprinklers, or water bowl spills. Bodily fluids like urine and vomit are more caustic and can seep past the DWR treatment and PU backing if not wiped up quickly. Frequent exposure to urine or vomit can damage these protective coatings, making the bed more vulnerable to fluids in the future.

Simply wipe the bed down with a damp cloth or scrub away any stubborn spots with soap and warm water. For a more thorough cleaning, remove the outer cover and machine wash in cold water on a delicate cycle. Make sure to zip up the cover and keep it right side out before adding it to the machine. Air dry if possible, or machine dry on low heat.

If necessary, the pillow mattress can be machine washed in cold water on a delicate cycle and must be machine dried with low heat until fully dried before putting the cover on. Do not cover a damp mattress, or else mildew and mold may develop inside it. Industrial/commercial washers and dryers will be needed for larger bed sizes. If the mattress does not have room to spare in your machine, do not attempt to wash in your machine. Instead, take it to a laundromat.

Our rectangle beds are not sized to fit crates and are not intended for crate use, but the pillow fill is squishy enough that you could possibly squeeze it through a crate door. Once inside, however, it will not be a perfect fit (these beds run much wider than crates do) and it may end up either taking up most of the available crate space or leaving a big gap between the bed and crate wall.

If you need a bed for a crate, please check out our Crate & Kennel section instead.

Yes, you can! This bed can be personalized with embroidery as long as you choose obsidian black, blue quartz, sage green, or sandstone as the bed color. Velvet color options cannot be personalized due to the velvet coating.

To add it, just select the option to add personalization, select the thread color and font, and make sure to type in what you want to have embroidered. Embroidery is case-sensitive and will appear exactly as typed.

This listing is available only in the small size. Please compare the length of the bed (24") against the length of your dog to confirm if it will work. If you need a larger size, our other (full priced) rectangle beds can be found here.

We do! You can find our rectangle covers sold separately here.

We've received some great customer feedback over the dimensions of our smallest rectangle beds, with a number of individuals pointing out that the space can be rather tight for dogs that aren't tiny. The next size up is a pretty big jump in dimensions, though, and it doesn't work for everyone. We're currently redesigning our smalls to transition more smoothly to the medium size, allowing them to accommodate a wider range of small breeds.
