This chew proof dog crate is worth GOLD to me ! My Shihtzu destroyed every bed given to him prior to this one . He doesn’t even attempt to chew it . From day one he laid right down …stretched out and slept on it. While it may seem a bit pricey …in the end it really isn’t as I have spent much more on many beds that went in the garbage. This is a “no brainer” for dogs that chew. Comfort …durability and safety plus looks really nice in his crate. Highly recommended. Stop wasting money ,time and adding to your anxiety. Do purchase this mat.
