Furhaven Water-Resistant Dog Bed for Large Dogs w/ Removable Washable Cover, Perfect for Crates & Kennels, For Dogs Up to 90 lbs - Two-Tone Reversible Crate Pad - Green/Gray, Extra Large

This review is for TWO ITEMS that I purchased on Amazon and I use them together to care for a handicapped pet. Since I use them together, my review is for both of them and this identical review is posted on both product review pages. The two items are:MidWest Quiet Time Fashion Pet Bed - https://amazon.com/gp/product/B00063KG7S/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1ANDFurHaven NAP Pet Bed Crate or Kennel Pad Dog Bed, Water-resistant Outdoor Indoor - https://amazon.com/gp/product/B002JPENRA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1I also have some words to say about the use of a Graco Pack-N-Play in caring for a handicapped pet.AND NOW, FOR MY REVIEW:Recently, one of my dogs ruptured two spinal discs and was instantly a paraplegic. He had emergency surgery to repair the discs and thankfully the spinal cord had only suffered bruising, so the paralysis is temporary. He is expected to make a full recovery. BUT. We have a long hard road to full functionality and for the time being, we are caring for a paralyzed animal. Until we experienced this, we didn't realize what that entailed, but let me tell you that it isn't an easy road for the pet or the owner.One of the issues is his ability to control his body functions. Peeing and pooping are suddenly not the "voluntary" actions they used to be. It didn't take long for us to learn his "cues" and take him outside when needed. However sometimes (often) accidents happen in his bed and there is plenty of clean up to do. Not only normal elimination, but vomit as well. Our regular doggie beds weren't doing the job. Something had to be done.Another issue we encountered was that he was too fragile to stuff him into a dog crate and pull him out. It was hard on our backs to do this and it was hard on his back as well. We needed something where he could be gently lowered into a confined area and gently lifted out.First, we got a used Graco Pack-N-Play from a neighborhood online swap meet. My neighbor sold me a VERY NICE Pack-N-Play that had been stored in her garage for years and therefore was too dusty for most moms to want it for their infant. But it was in great shape and perfect for our Max! I only paid $5.00 for the Pack-N-Play and he was able to sit in the middle of the den with his family all around him. He is in close proximity to our feisty Border Collie (who is his best friend), but the Pack-N-Play protects him from being injured by her incessant playfulness. It also confines him so that he doesn't have the opportunity to drag himself around the house while his spine is healing. The Pack-N-Play has wheels, so when he has to go outside, we can easily roll him out to the deck and save our aching backs from the task of carrying him outside. Once outside, we simply lift him out and place him where he can relieve himself with the use of a simple supportive sling made of cut up strips of microfiber bath sheets. Also, he likes being outside and he can sit safely in the Pack-N-Play in the shade of a large tree, and enjoy the breeze, this sights, smells and excitement of watching the world go by. His regular doggie bed fit perfectly in the Pack-N-Play!The problem comes in when we miss his "cues" and he has an accident in his doggie bed. It is a heavy, thick affair that is a monster to clean and wash and we found ourselves rushing around to clean all the parts in the laundry and getting it all dry before he could have a comfortable surface again. After a few days of that kind of continual clean up we realized that something had to be done. Amazon to the rescue! I did a search for doggie beds and pads that would fit the dimensions of our Pack-N-Play and created a system for keeping him clean, dry and happy while saving our sanity and reducing the stress on our washing machine.After looking at all the possibilities, I ordered several of the inexpensive and relatively lightweight "MidWest Quiet Time Fashion Pet Bed" in size 36 X 23 inches.https://amazon.com/gp/product/B00063KG7S/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1This gives me the freedom of light surface cleaning the soiled bed and tossing it into the wash on Sanitary Cycle. This pad is SO EASY TO WASH AND DRY - in just a few hours, it is cleaned, sanitized and ready for use again. And because I have several of them, it is a simple matter to replace the soiled one with a fresh one. It washes up beautifully and to my surprise, it does NOT hold onto stains but comes out of the laundry as clean, fresh and fleecy as new! But the MidWest Quiet Time Fashion Pet Bed is not thick, luxurious and supportive like his regular memory foam dog bed and this little cozy topper needed a foundation that was therapeutic and cushy.So I ordered the FurHaven NAP Pet Bed Crate or Kennel Pad Dog Bed, Water-resistant Outdoor Indoor. It can be found here:https://amazon.com/gp/product/B002JPENRA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1This made a great foundation for our fleecy pet bed topper. It is the perfect size for the Pack-N-Play AND it is moisture resistant, so anything that soaks through the upper pad will not penetrate the FurHaven NAP Pet Bed. It is a great system. All we have to do is toss the MidWest Quiet Time Fashion Pet Bed into the wash, wipe down the FurHaven NAP Pet Bed Crate or Kennel Pad Dog Bed with a disinfectant and place a fresh Quiet Time on top for a completely clean, dry space for out dog. It is perfect! The Fur Haven is a thin-ish foundation pad that is intended to go into the bottom of a dog crate and makes a great bottom layer in our Pack-N-Play. Because it is so thin (about 2 inches) I don't think it would make a good stand alone dog bed, but in combination with the Quiet Time Fleece topper it makes a thick, soft, cozy bed.Caring for a seriously ill pet is an extremely taxing job, but this system has cut our work and stress load in half. I love The NAP Pet Bed because it is a snap to clean and can be dry and ready for the next topper in minutes. Meanwhile, we have saved precious energy to spend on rehab exercises. Doing things in an efficient manner makes a huge difference in being able to get through a very trying episode in all of our lives.

My dog is a lab/blue heeler mix. Max weight 70lb. Bought the XL biggest size. Size guide said I only needed a L. So ho bigger.

I purchased this item before, and was very happy with the way it was packaged. This time when I ordered it, it was just crumpled in a box, and the foam inside the cover was all wrinkled and hard to smooth out. I love this waterproof dog bed for my dogs crate.

I've had one incident where the urine soaked to the foam pad but two others where it did not. The outer part seems to soak up the mess like any other material but the liner inside does a decent job of keeping the liquid off the foam pad if you can catch it quick enough, not overnight. Dog never chewed when used as well fitting pad in crate but now that we gave him more space he can get to the corner and has chewed right through. Worth it for the price and seems comfy for dog. Just need a bigger one now.

This is my second bed. The first one lasted a week, then she found the zipper. My fault, this go around I sewed the zipper flap closed. So instead she chewed through the canvas. Is my dog just a super chewer?

Last about a week before my puppy was able to get access to an edge near the zipper, which gave him access to the mat inside and he chewed to pieces immediately.Other than that, it fit well in the crate and was very easy to clean.

The foam that goes inside is soft and easy to remove for cleaning. I bought two of these for my puppy. She is deaf and came to me at 6 months old completely untrained. She also suffers from neurological problems. The people before me were trying to housebreak her with pads (thank goodness they had failed at that!) and she they were not taking her outside. They told me she was crate trained, but she was not. At first, she would mess in her crate, so I bought two of these, so we could have a clean one while the other one was being cleaned.These are great. I found the best was to clean them was to hose them down and then remove the cover to allow it to dry. I like the fact that when she pees on it, the pee runs off and goes underneath onto the underside, so she is not sitting in her mess (she rarely has an accident now, but when she did she wasn't stuck sitting in it).These are a bit of a challenge to through through the washing machine due to them being water repellent! I guess hand washing works best? I spray them off with hot water in the shower or outside, depending on the mess.

This bed is exactly what I waned and cost a fraction of what I expected to pay!! I have had up to 5 rescue dogs at a time, so I am a dog bed expert! This is super durable material and well made. I cannot believe the price! I am ordering more right now!

The bed was for our 2yo ACD/ German Sheppard Mix sadly he tore it apart in just a few days. He likes to dig when settling down to find a comfortable spot but the bed did not hold up to this.

I was looking for a firmer, low profile dog bed that was NOT fleece/warm. I am using it in a crate for a mature dog that runs hot (Sheltie), offering some protection from the base of the crate while adding minimal extra heat. I was happy to find a size that was small enough for the crate I am using. This seems like a good quality, durable product - certainly for the price point. There are not enough options like this on the market (IMO). Most crate pads are too thick, fluffy and make many dogs too hot. This is not a "chew proof" kennel pad - ultimately there is no such thing. If you have a young dog or dog that is prone to chewing on bedding I would advise not using any bedding until that is resolved or only if the dog is being supervised. Perhaps the rate feature should be changed from chew proof to durable.

This dog bed lasted one night, I’m returning it. The fabric is so noisy that I woke up every time my puppy moved. It arrived in a very small box and would not lay flat even after hours of airing out. The foam was thin as shown by the picture and did not fill the case properly so it wasn’t a tight fit it was very wrinkly and annoying. The fabric was good weight and looked really nice but far too loud.

Very disappointed in this product. The cover and inside foam had an awful factory odour that lasted for weeks. I washed the cover twice, sprayed it with odour control let both cover and foam air out for weeks and still the odour persisted. Then once it was placed in the crate, it took only 3 days before the puppy ripped up a corner and ripped up the foam inside. He has never destroyed a mat or bed before. This was too easy to destry.

This is a comfortable crate liner that has a cover that does not absorb liquid if an accident occurs. Easy to wipe clean and zipper on side allows cover to be removed and laundered. Green on one side, grey on the other.
