MidWest Paradise Teflon Fabric Protector Dog Crate Mat

When it showed up, it looked and felt as expected. Our 1-yr-old lab took to it instantly. Then we left, and my lab's separation anxiety kicked in. We came back an hour later, and it was ripped in various places (both the stronger top portion and the less durable bottom), with filling flung all over the crate. When the description says chew-resistant and durable, it probably is compared to most mats, but it wasn't durable enough for us.

I breed Standard Poodles and bought four of these beds to put in a few of their crates. I wanted something that would wash easily and not hold on to dirt as much as the fleece style. I really loved how the dirt that can sometimes collect with multiple dogs could be shaken out easily. One of my poodles that destroys every type of bed did leave this bed alone for about 4 days before destroying it which is a record for him! Dogs are dogs and nothing can truly be indestructible when it comes to the willpower and strength of their teeth however I can say this bed did last longer than your typical bed for my most destructive chewer.

I bought this in March of last year for my then 1-year-old lab retriever mix at the recommendation of my sister-in-law and its holding up well. My dog chewed through 2 beds before this one and I just purchased a 2nd one today in pink as she likes sleeping in my room and her bed is in the living room and sleeps there during the day. We wash it at least once a month without a problem.

I have 2 Pit Bulls, Freya is the most destructive to tear up the toys, or anything she can get a hold of. I finally decided to put these in there big Kennel Crates while I was gone this past saturday for 5 hours, holding off because through the week it is 10 hours at work, and sure enough Freya had ripped a hole in the side part and green stuffing was out, so I did not put it back in there for her. Casper was a good boy so far, he did not tear his up.

My dog chewed right through this bed. It was supposed to be chew resistant. It also does not wash well in washer.

Everything soft/stuffed that we buy for our 18-month old Lab-Akita becomes a chewy toy, typically lastly no more than 40 minutes, except this crate bed! She loves it, and not to eat it! She lies on it in her open crate just because she likes it. When she is locked in the crate, she does not try to destroy it. She really likes it. We’ve tried other beds and mats, but this is the first one that has lasted!

I bought this for our 11 month labrador who chewed up her previous bed. When I unpacked it I put it on the floor while i disposed of the packaging and the pup immediately lay down on it. It was well over an hour before she got up so I could put It in her kennel. We are very happy with this and so far there has been no damage from chewing.

Our year old puppy had destroyed every other pad/mat/bed we had purchased. So far this one has remained intact. She also has a tendency to spill her water in her crate. This pad makes it quick and easy to clean up.

1 night sleep in the bed and woke up to a pile of green stuffing that looked like bob ross hair. 4 month old pup pulled the seam apart and it unraveled all around. $45 ish bucks for one night hurts. I guess it could be ok for an old dog.

We've gotten many beds over the years and to find one that holds up to multiple claws and is easy to wipe clean between machine washing is phenomenal. Our cats are fans.
