 A great concept, but not very durable Dec 06, 2005
By Kay
I really liked this bed when I first got it last year. My dog liked the stiff bottom of the bed a lot better than her previous off-the-ground pet bed, which sagged and made it hard for her to get in and out of it. The poles and legs are wonderfully sturdy, but the weakness appears to be in the screws. After a few months of use, the screws to one leg of the bed sheered, leaving the bulk of the screw deep in the threads. I haven't been able to get it out yet to replace it.

 A welcome change Jan 11, 2008
By R. Gengler
"Patient Reds Fan"
Our previous dog beds have been the foam rubber or pillow types. They seem to quickly lose their shape and are a pain to wash. Also, our dog likes to rub his face on his bed after he eats (must have a bit of raccoon in him ;-). His "washing" activity always ended up sliding his bed across the floor.
This Petmate bed takes care of the sliding problem quite nicely. Also, the canvas covering wipes down easily and can be washed if you remove the foam-covered board from its velcro-closed pouch and disassemble the frame. Its not hard to do, but I'd rather not. To alleviate the washing issue, and to provide a little more cushion for the dog, we bought an inexpensive fleece blanket that we fold and place in the bed. The dog arranges the blanket to his liking, and it (the blanket, not the dog) can be easily cleaned in the washer.
Best of all...my wife approves.

All it promises Apr 16, 2007
By Bobbie E. Griffin
This is a good bed. Some other reviewers have said it is not as durable as it claims and it becomes rickedy with use. Maybe it is not the best choice for huge, heavy dogs. I wouldn't know about that but we have a small dog and a medium dog and they love their beds. We've had one bed for a couple of years and its just as solid now as when we first put it together. Which is why we bought the second one when we got our second dog. Perhaps the reviewers that had rickedy problems didn't put it together properly. Some reviewers said it was not durable because their dogs chewed it to shreds. duh. That sounds like a dog problem, not a bed problem. Durable does not mean indestructable when being violently attacked. Neither of our dogs have chewed their beds. I am totally happy with this product.

Don't buy this bed Jan 21, 2006
By John Norton
"I'm hearing teacher voices"
I read the reviews. Unfortunately for me, I ignored the warnings. We had the bed ONE week when one of the bolts failed, rendering the bed useless and worthless. Trust me -- you do not want to buy this bed!

Broke within 1 month, useless Apr 11, 2006
By Jimmy Harris
Don't waste your money! We thought these beds would be perfect for our two dogs, and we ordered extra large to accomodate their respective weights (both under 100 pounds). We bought a total of four beds and three of them broke within one month. Like other reviewers, we saw that the bolts sheared off and as a result, the beds are not able to be repaired. We have asked for a refund; I am optimistic...
