Best Friends by Sheri The Original Calming Shag Fur Donut Cuddler Cat & Dog Bed

Bought this a month ago during a limited time sale. We have a couple of beds for our animals in different rooms. This was the first bed we took out of the bag and they instantly gravitated to it and fought over who was going to lay in it. They actually both can fit together and rest in this once they settle down. This was the Medium size. They have now started to jump/launch into it during a zoomies episode, It's hilarious. My fur babies are very spoiled and particular about things. This is Frenchie approved for sure.

I got the medium size, which is large enough for two 14 pounds cats to cuddle on. My picture has an apple on it so you can judge the size. So far, they haven't gotten on it together, but both have slept on it separately. At first, they were skeptical, but then I put a towel on it. My tuxedo cat loves towels and she got on the bed then. She sleeps on it at night sometimes. My other cat has slept on it in the afternoon. So far, there have been no fights over it.

I purchased 2 of these for my pup. A medium (shown in picture) and also a small. She especially loves the medium size. I’ve had no issues with washing or drying these beds. As long as you follow the instructions, use the low heat setting and making sure it’s fully dry, you’ll have no issues with it matting. I’ve washed them weekly over the 3+ months I’ve had them and they still look beautiful. I just washed and dried the one in the picture 3 days ago. I definitely recommend this bed.

I bought this initially so my dog could have his own spot under my desk for work time. He’s happiest right there with me. Well, a bad ankle sprain and a walking cast has meant he had to quit spending time there-Spatial awareness went out the window and I don’t want to kick him-and now the cat has kicked him out of the bed completely. I think I need another one for when my ankle heals! #ChewyTeamRated

I was very pleased with this bed as soon as it arrived. My dog went straight to it and seemed to love it. However, I read the instructions that said you should dry it on tumble dry with low heat. I apprehensively followed these directions (because I believed it would be fine without the drying) and then when I took it out there were sections that were melted/burnt off. I am very upset because as I mentioned earlier I was second guessing myself for following this step but it specifically mentioned to do this. The bed itself is great but now I have a burnt dog bed that may not last as long as it should, especially for the $100 price point. I will be contacting the company directly but I wanted I was very pleased with this bed as soon as it arrived. My dog went straight to it and seemed to love it.

We've purchased five Best Friends by Sheri cuddler beds. The only reason we kept purchasing them is because we thought we were mistakenly ruining the beds in the washer/dryer. No matter how closely we followed the instructions, each bed came out of the dryer matted and ugly. The allure of the bed is how fluffy it appears. One wash and all allure is lost. At $60 a pop, I refuse to buy another one. And the search for an attractive dog bed continues...

I had very high hopes for this super-soft, cozy donut doggy bed. It IS very soft and my dog seeks out any soft pillow or blanket, which is why I bought it for her. However, she doesn't seem to like it. She will lay on the outside of the circle and prop her head on the edge, but she can't get comfortable on the inside. It's very puffy, and if she leans towards the edge, it rolls her off to the side. Last night she peed in it, which is VERY unusual. She has other less fluffy beds that she prefers so I thought she might like this one. I was hoping we could put it on the sofa and she would curl up next to us in it, but it's not working out that way. I would like to send it back and exchange I had very high hopes for this super-soft, cozy donut doggy bed.

I get pretty tired of requests by vendors for reviews. So I don't do most of them. But for Chewy I will do one. First, the Bed I bought is high quality, pricey but not crazy so. The dog loves it. He even found a way to open it and get at the cushion. That alerted us to a nice design feature: a zipper! We could remove the cushion and wash only the shaq cover. It was probably described in the literature, but I don't have time to read all that. Bottom line: I'd buy this again. And special thanks to Chewy for the best customer service reps I've encountered online.

My puppy really likes this bed. The small one is bigger than it seems. So it is not quite as cuddly for my small puppy. Still, I was happy with it until I washed it. The small size does not have a removable cover. So I had to put the entire bed in the washing machine. Despite following the instruction, 50% of the bed is matted and cannot be combed out. The bed does not feel the same with matted fur.

I purchased the Best Friends by Sheri 'calming shag fur donut cuddler' for my girls in hopes of providing some comfort and possibly providing the 'calming'. DID NOT - the bedding inside the shell is poly fill and gets 'clumped' together easily. The outside material gets warm when the girls are laying on it. My boy does not even bother with laying on it. Following the 'care' instructions' did not work out - the 'sleeve' the poly fill is "scattered" within ripped and I had to stitch and refill. This may work for a small animal but it was not a good choice for my babies.
