Kuranda Chewproof Dog Bed - Walnut PVC - 35" x 23" - Cordura Nylon - Gold

I have 2 golden retrievers that have torn up at least 10 beds and were having to sleep on the ground. I purchased these beds and the pads to put on top and they have been amazing. My dogs love them and haven’t chewed them at all despite the pad on top. I didn’t buy the largest size I bought the one just below it but do wish I had gone with the largest for my 100lb dogs.

Great quality, easy to put together.

Durable. One of my dog’s favorite “places”

Have two Almond-colored beds, which have lasted 10-12+ years with indoor/outdoor use. They are still going strong, even with some hairline cracks in the corners. (Hey, after 10-12 years, we all get a few hairline cracks. lol) So when shopping for more dog beds, knew these are worth the extra money. Much cheaper than buying junky beds every year or two. Shelters, rescues, and dog care centers like these beds. You know they aren't going to waste their money on something that will fall apart quickly.For people that just want the facts:* Great beds.* Dog love 'em.* Easy to clean.* Chew proof.* Walnut color is a nice upgrade to the standard Almond PVC. Who knew PVC could look this classy?* They also make a short-legged version for crates. Great idea!For people wanting more details about the bed:* The Walnut PVC has more of a furniture look and looks nice in the house. Walnut has a subtle, gold shimmery undertone. We picked the Khaki (Gold) Cordura fabric and it's a great match.* Our original Almond beds have the Vinyl weave, which is an open, rougher weave. (Still nice and comfy.) Cordura is a much tighter, smoother fabric. (Think of nice luggage.)* Read other reviews for assembly tips, but a bed will take about a half-hour to assemble. We bought two and the larger one was harder to assemble. It's that last corner that gets you. The rest of the assembly is very easy. Popping in the legs is super easy.For people interested about combining a Kuranda with a wire crate:* Bought the Small Kuranda Bed (20" X 30") and combined it with a wire crate for a great "bedroom" set.* Paired it with a Midwest Life Stages Folding Metal Dog Crate, Double Door, 30" X 21" X 24", Model #1630DD, also available on Amazon. A Small Kuranda bed fit inside JUST perfectly. About 1/4" to 1/2" wiggle room from bed to crate sides.* This Midwest crate is a bit taller than others, allowing for bed height while keeping a reasonable amount of headroom. About the usual amount of crate headroom now.* To insert the bed, you'll want to sneak the back panel past the wire clips to fold OUT. (Normally the panel folds IN for packing.) You may need someone with strong hands, or a get a washcloth and some pliers to gently ease the panel out. (Washcloth is to protect the wire.) Then pop the bed into the crate and reverse the process. It's not that difficult, but in hindsight, the three-door crate with a top door might have been nice. Especially if you want to travel with this setup.* Bed legs will rest on top of the crate pan edges, but the pan seems pretty sturdy and the weight is distributed. Don't expect any issues.* The crate pan still slides out for cleaning, even with the Kuranda bed inside.* Kuranda doesn't have their Crate Bed version listed on Amazon (yet anyway), however, contact Kuranda before placing your order and they will make arrangements to get you the shorter legs. We were able to buy through Amazon and use our Amazon Prime shipping. The Kuranda folks are great to deal with.* With the Crate Bed version you get both the shorter legs and the taller legs.This gives you the option to change out leg height later, if you want.Our 25 lb. dog is loving this new setup, especially with the warmer weather. Now he gets air circulation under and around him, keeping him cool and comfy. The bed is just the right length for him to fully stretch out. He's noticeably happier with his new bedroom.Also added these items to his new nest:* Midwest Quiet Time Deluxe Micro Terry Bed, Taupe (40630-TP, Medium)* Midwest Quiet Time Crate Cover, 30" X 19" X 21" (CVR-30). Through will hold off on the cover till it gets cooler.

Our trainer requires that you get a raised bed 4" off the ground to train for a "place" that you can tell them to go to and the rules of the training are to keep all four paws off the ground. They recommended this company and then it was just a matter of deciding how big our stray Border Collie GSD mix needed. I went with XL since it was near the dimensions of his crate. He voluntarily puts himself on this bed because it is comfortable. We can tell him to go to bed and he knows now, after a lot of training, that he is required to stay on the bed until released. The only downside to this bed was in assembly. First of all, we were missing a bolt, which is a problem since it holds the legs on and the vinyl fabric taut. Thankfully, my husband's stash of parts had just the right size. Secondly, when trying to assemble the last corner, the holes and sides were not lining up and the fabric was wonky. It took my husband shoving the screwdriver in the hole and pushing the screw into the right spot and me putting the bolt on as quickly as possible. This did cause the hole on the underside to enlarge so I'm not sure how long this will last until we find it creates problems. It's been a week and a half and it is holding together okay so far. I think this issue is a problem with the manufacturing not being exact enough. Hopefully this is the only time this has been a problem as we might need to buy another bed given how much this one is getting used. Thank you for reading this review and I do hope you found it helpful!
