dog beds

I am thinking of getting a new bed for billy, the one he has now is like a big foam cushion and it is filthy and stinks and it is too big to get into the washing machine.

I am going to get one of the hard plastic beds that have a cushion inside and the cover is removable so it can be washed. they come in the following sizes, which one is the best to get, I would like to to last as long as possibe;

Small - Medium: 62 x 46 x 17cm (24 x 18 x 6.5")
Suitable for small-size dogs, eg. Terriers, Toy dogs

Medium - Large: 82 x 62 x 17cm (32 x 24 x 6.5")
Suitable for medium-size dogs, eg. Labradors, Boxers, Collies - was thinking of getting this one
Large - Extra Large: 105 x 70 x 17cm (41 x 27.5 x 6.5")
Suitable for large breed dogs, eg. Old English Sheepdogs, German Shepherds, Rottweilers

Also is this type of bed a good one or is there something better that is washable

Thanks

Moo sleeps on my bed! She also did have a big foam one but came home one day to find it in pieces all around the flat!

Snap....same happened to me lol

Ive got the medium plastic bed and fill it with blankets which i buy from the charity shop or bootsales. When they get to mankey i just chuck them! x

Logan has his own beanbag. Its massive but on the website it said medium! I take the cover off it to wash it all the time. The bean inside are in 4 bags so they dont go everywhere!! he likes it cos it moulds to his shape!!

Mine would have that in pieces in seconds lol Even the plastic bed ive got 2 put the blankets in is chewed right up!! x

i'll get some pics of him on it to show you how big it is!!

Same here, and in our bedroom she has a folded up matress.

Blue has a plastic bed and inside he has 2 single quilts in a plauin single quilt cover.
Ermmm he has only chewed it a bit but it's been a fortnight now since I have come home from work to pick up half a tonne of quilt off the landing

Oh and he has a 6ft x 4ft double bed which he keeps in my room and lets me and the Mrs sleep on as long as we dangle off the edges

I bought a good dog bed off ebay it and it been worth every penny you can take all the cover off to wash and the cushions are in strips so you can put them in the washing machine to there quite big so they can strecth out in them too as staffies love that lol heres the link if you want to have a look i got a large and it defo big enough these beds should be 100 pounds but are 40 is you want to spend that much.Kaisers had his 2 months and it has stayed in shaped not ripped or gone all bumpy like most of the beds do.

Your better off finding out what size the plastic bed it so the cushion one fits perfectly.

Yep same with Harley & Mia they sleep on my bed or is it i sleep on their bed? I have 2 foam matressess on top of the inner spring well what's left of the 2 foam mattresses as Harley likes to rip them to shreds.

I don't know if you can get them over there but here u can get ones that are a metal frame with a sack or some sort of material over it that can be taken off to wash & some u can just put the hose on and wash them that way. My dogs dog washer has one in the back of her car for her dogs.

Dempsey sleeps in his crate & I have a 'vet bed' fleece which covers the whole of the bottom (machine washable, but a b*gger to dry & very expensive but good quality) and then a thin foam mattress on top with a removable cover (about £15). He also has a doggie fleece blanket which he cuddles up to.

I get through loads of bedding with Dempsey cause he's a serial chewer! He's never chewed up the 'vet bed' though.

I bought Billy a large ruff stuff bed. Its lasted about 3 months and now he has started chewing it. Every day Im finding more fluff and his bed is getting thinner and thinner lol.

Cairo has a plastic bed thats the size for labradors etc,and it has 2 duvets on the bottom,and one on the top wich she gets underneath

think i might go with the plastic, then you can just keep adding covers when they get chewed and they can be washed

thanks everyone
