Plus, the outer lining is machine washable, which is perfect for both young and old dogs that may have the occasional accident.

We love the cute paw print appliqué on the front, though we're not sure that'll stop the cat from enjoying it, too.

I wanted to wait and see how the bed [fared] with almost constant pressure for an extended period before giving my thoughts. Too many times I've been disappointed by rave reviews by someone who's tried a product only a few days. I can say without hesitation that I am only a few minutes away from making a second purchase. Not because it's worn at all. The cover even still looks new after it comes out of the wash. It's because we have 6 rescue dogs and as their beds wear out, I'm replacing them with orthopedic beds from Dogbed4less," one dog dad raved.
