This bed will arrive as a pre-assembled frame with the padded center already in place. Simply slide the bed out of the box, remove the wrapping, and it is all set for use.

The frame is made from 100% aluminum, including the corners (which are simply powder-coated black). The bed sling is made from 1200D ripstop ballistic polyester fabric, and the inner padding is 100% polyester fiberfill batting. The ripstop fabric has both a PU backing to make it water-resistant and a DWR coating to repel water.

The Chew Proof Armored™ Dog Crate Pad is the only one of our metal-framed beds that is not elevated, relying on the padded center for comfort rather than a hammock-like design. It’s ideal for crate use where your dog may not have enough headroom to fit comfortably on an elevated bed.

This is an Open Box item, and as such, does not come with a warranty against dog-related damaged. However, if the item arrives with damage from transit, it qualifies for a replacement or warranty store credit under our 30-Day Manufacturer's warranty. Please note that this warranty does not apply to cosmetic marks or imperfections, as these are expected with Open Box items.

 Simply wipe the bed down with a damp cloth or scrub away any stubborn spots with soap and warm water. Most soaps and detergents are fine, but avoid using bleach—it can damage the frame.

For a more thorough cleaning, you can disassemble the bed with a 4.5 mm allen wrench and machine wash the center pad. Wash with cold water on delicate and machine dry on low heat until it is fully dried out, then replace on frame.

This bed does have sockets for legs underneath the rubber plugs in each corner. All you need to do is pop those plugs out to expose the sockets, then insert a leg into each one and twist by hand until tight. This bed does not come with legs, but they can be purchased separately online or over the phone with our customer care team.

First, remove the plastic pan or tray from the bottom of the crate. Then slide the bed through the crate door at a diagonal. Once it’s in the crate, all you have to do is level the bed out and lower it until it meets the floor and it is good to go.

Yes, you can! This pad can be personalized with heat-transfer vinyl text.

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

For best results, check out our size guide. This bed is designed to fit standard wire crates but crate dimensions can vary slightly by manufacturer, so make sure to compare the actual dimensions of your crate against those for the bed size you’re interested in. The dimensions shown for our beds are exact, and due to their rigid frames these beds will not fit in spaces smaller than their size.

We do! You can find our replacement pads sold separately here.
