All dogs go through a chewing phase that can last until the they are as old as eighteen months or when their adult teeth finally ?set? in their jaw. Our new Everlast Bed is the most ?chew resistant? of its kind on the market. Unfortunately, nothing is ?chew proof? as a determined dog can gnaw through light-weight chain, 2x4?s and cement bricks. The Everlast Bed is made from tough Ballistic Nylon though and is easily the most durable product on the market.
Resident dog expert Kelly Marshallsuggests spraying items such as beds, leashes, bricks and kitchens with Bitter Apple to make the chewing experience unpleasant for your pooch ? they will soon learn that the only thing good to chew on is their own toys!

I purchased this because my Weimeraner has gotten into the habit of scratching at his bed to smooth it out and sometimes chewing on pieces where his scratch caused a tear.
Using the included stuffing this bed is VERY thick -- too thick, I think, consider the bed is also made of slippery nylon. It does feel very rugged, but my dog ended up chewing off a corner within days of the purchase.
Fortunately, OhMyDogSupplies was GREAT at standing behind this product.
If I were to try this product again, I would either stuff it with something other than what it came with, or I would put in only about half of the provided stuffing.

This is a good bed for young dogs who like to stretch out when they sleep. Great in the summer because of the nylon cover.

I have gone through gazillions of different unsuccessful dog beds that have split open, attracted hair, smelled, and eventually had to be thrown out. My little jackabee, large shepherd mix, and beagle received this bed this season, and it has proved to be the best bed yet for a few different reasons. One, it does not attract hair or derm and therefore does not smell. It's easy to wash, and the dogs love it. All three share the x-large bed each night quite comfortably. The material is the strongest I've encountered yet, [...] I do recommend however that when you purchase it, you must immediately spray it with a chew deterent product because any material is destructible to the determination of a teething puppy. I've found that the chew deterent really helps and makes this bed really the best one I've purchased yet. It is longlasting and good for indoor and probably outdoor use, too. I give it 5 stars.
