A friend of mine told me about these beds that she saw at last year's garden and home show and was saying that their dogs will NOT get off them! She says she is buying one for her Sausage dog because her parent's dogs just love them and refuse to sleep anywhere else. According to the website this is what they are all about:

» Eliminates pet odours.
» Does not support flea breeding.
» Eases arthritic aches and pains.
» Helps to prevent eczema & skin problems
» Water resistant base – ideal to place on any surface
» Warm in winter, Cool in summer.
» Will always looks neat, clean, fresh & hygienic
» Retains its shape.
» Easy to clean-upside down on washing line and hose lightly

here's the link.

My dad got our boerboel one of those about a month ago! A really big one though but wow, she loves it and every now and then I find Pepper catching a snooze on there!

We bought storm one of those because he developed and allergy to his sheepskin bed. He absolutely loves it and its easy to clean and durable. He gets very impatient at sleeping time . He will stand in front of us or moan a little until we get the bed, then he cuddles up and is a happy boy!!!!!

My dad lovingly bought their staffie one of these beds, but Tikka chewed it up the next day! He was still boasting about this great new bed when suddenly it was in pieces. Hahaha, I can't help to laugh!

Oh my word!!!! Thats strange!!!! The material looks so strong??? Strom scratches his bed a round a little to puff it up, and he did not manage to break it or tear it!

Those look very nice. My puppies like to sleep on continental pillows on the floor and this year I bought some warm fluffy blankets at Mr. Price Home and made some pillow slips to put over the pillows and they just love it. It is cheap and it is nice to be able to just pull the slip off and wash. I get two slips out of a single bed blanket.

That sounds like a good idea Amoureux. Never thought of it before!!!

now that you say that my mom always put a slip over our Schnauzer's pillow because she has a skin problem and it was much easier to clean. mine have a round flat bed that i got from Mr Price home and fleecy blankets from Pick n Pay that are so nice and big and warm and were cheap! for Taylor birthday next month she will get a new bed she prefers something with sides to it for some reason, i think because then she can snuggle into the blankets but she sleeps on the flat one now because she pulled the foam out of her old bed in one section so i put it in the kennel.

When i have the cash i would like to buy one of these beds

The material is very strong and it's a great bed. The staffies are just strange dogs. They never chew anything, except their bed.

After that Petzbed, my dad nailed some left-over carpet into their kennel for some warm, hoping that because it is nailed down they won't destroy it.
Haha, the younger male staffie, Magnum, started tearing out the carpet. Tikka, the older female, got very upset and very harshly put him in his place. After the scuffle, Magnum wasn't allowed into the kennel for about a week and he hasn't chewed the carpet since.
But it was Tikka who destroyed the Petzbed...

Staffies are very strange dogs :drunken:

Jamie and I were at clearwater and they were there,so I put him on top of the pile of beds and he started squirming around on them till he was comfy and they guy was so pleased he took pics of Jamie..still need to get him one though

Funny enough, we have one for pour boxers, Ciara our older yorkie does not bother with the bed at all. But Mika, our pup loves it. He rolls around on it and barks at it and jumps around on the bed. Very cute to watch him!!!!

Mybe he likes the feeling of the bed on his skin?
