Questions & Answers

13 Customer Questions


Do the beds and blankets produce static in the winter?

Answer by ChewyJan 26, 2026
In general, the beds and blankets are made with soft, cozy materials that don’t typically produce a lot of static, even in winter, especially compared to some other synthetic fabrics. However, like many plush fabrics, a small amount of static can happen in very dry conditions or when indoor heating is running.

Does it come flat and you have to wait for it to fluff up after it arrives & you open the box?

Answer by ChewyJun 14, 2022
These beds do come flat and need to be opened and placed inside of a dryer to fluff the bed up. When placing the bed in the dryer, place the dryer on low to no heat, this will help fluff the bed up.

Does this bed have a zipper on the cover? Or do you need to wash the whole bed?

Answer by ChewyFeb 20, 2023
The entire bed and blanket may be machine washed and dried.

Is the bed chew resistant ?

Answer by ChewyAug 03, 2022
This bed is not chew-proof or chew-resistant.

Taco was a rescue and we have had him several years. He insists on sleeping with us and once we go to sleep he makes his way under the covers. Now because of this bed he sleeps in his own bed. We cover him up at night and my baby sleeps through the night! I just love this bed! And so does Taco. (this is the small bed and Taco is a papillon and weighs about 10 lbs)

After SO much research, I finally found this bed on Chewy for a really good price. I have an 85-lb labradoodle who likes to sprawl, and who did not enjoy his previous memory foam beds, off which his limbs seemed to perpetually hang. I was impressed with the size of this bed, but more importantly, so is he - he curls right up and loves it! It seems to be popular across the board - he occasionally gets ejected by his feline housemates (who then take up approximately a tenth of the bed). Overall, extremely pleased with this purchase.

Second purchase and dogs love it

I didn't do as they recommended and take it out of the plastic and put it in the dryer for 20 minutes so however long that was. Then thisone I did do exactly as they requested and the difference was enormous. The other one told the dogs love it is not puffy. I'm going to clean it up and put it in the dryer and see if that will now work for it. This one has lovely donut hole look to it. The only thing that happened is the bottom curled up and made a big lump but I found there's a in back where you can unzip it flatten it out and then zip it back up. The dogs are very happy with it. And so am I!

Don’t Dry!

The directions in the package say to put the entire bed in the dryer to fluff it up right when you get it. Don’t! The fibers of the cover can’t handle any heat

The directions in the package say to put the entire bed in the dryer to fluff it up right when you get it. Don’t! The fibers of the cover can’t handle any heat. I put mine in for 5 mins on the lowest heat setting, and a huge portion of the bed got completely melted.

When Wally laid down on this bed, he let out a big sigh like he was so comfy. He loved the blankets that he had before, and I’m so thankful this one came with a new one because he’s chewed up the others. As a rescue with two previous owners who passed away, he has some emotional issues.

I thought it would be a soft and warm new bed for him.

He thinks it is a giant toy. I did not realize it was filled with air. He does not want to sit or sleep in it and he tries to eat it. He does not recognize it

Soft

The dogs love it. There isn’t a lot of padding on the bottom but they love to snuggle up in it because the high sides on it.
