This is exactly what is advertised--a pet mat. And my dog (13-lb. terrier) loved it until I bought a pillow, which she seems to love more. My dog has only one front leg and can't easily go up and down, so a pet bed is difficult for her. I will use the mat in the crate when we travel. Easy to store and will wash up perfectly.
This has been a great dog bed. Easy to clean...a must. But with the 2 straps, it's perfect for travel.
Smaller than I thought, but good. (ordered a large for 2 year old Golden Retriever)
