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. The end bolster and the exposed zipper along the bottom edge of the bed can also be vulnerable points for clever chewers. 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 giant bolster orthopedic mattress, rolled.
• Tough Ripstop™ ballistic giant bolster 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, close up the zipper, and it is ready to go.

The bed cover is made from 1200D ripstop ballistic polyester fabric, including the black bottom. The inner mattress has a 600D ripstop ballistic liner made from polyester and the rectangle orthopedic mattress is made from a solid sheet of CertiPUR-US polyurethane foam. The foam contains no glue or adhesives.

Since this bed is a clearance item being sold at a steep discount, it does not come with any warranties. This includes the 120-Day Chew Proof Warranty and the 10 Year Won't Flatten Warranty. If your bed arrives damaged from transit or with a defect in workmanship, please contact Customer Care immediately for assistance.

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.

Do not wash foam.

Our giant beds are not sized to fit crates and are not intended for crate use, and the orthopedic mattress is too firm to easily fit into smaller spaces. If this bed is forced through a crate door, it will most likely take up most of the space inside the crate and be very hard to remove later. 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.

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.

For best results, check out our size guide. While we do provide size suggestions based on breeds, every dog is unique and we strongly recommend measuring the length of your dog and comparing it to the bed’s length to ensure the best fit.

We do! You can find our giant bolster bed covers sold separately here.
