I bought this initially because my dog seems to like the donut style beds, the price was right, and the color seemed like it would match our decor. The dog (15lbs) does like it and sleeps in it all the time, even when the couch is a perfectly viable option, and the color (spice, more of a rust) matches the accent colors in the living room perfectly. We've had it for about a year and I've lint-rolled it and sprayed it with Nature's Miracle but still haven't washed it. I'll probably just throw it in a pillowcase and hope for the best. I came back to buy a second one for our new dog (also about 15lbs). She loves the bed and our grumpy old man won't let her use it by herself and will only occasionally let her cuddle in it with him. Unfortunately, the small is sold out so I'm ordering a medium. Hopefully, he'll give up and let her cuddle with him in the bigger bed, but if not she'll just have some extra room in hers.
