I was a little nervous buying this bed for my 11 yr. old Boston Terrier, as she has never had a pet bed and I was afraid she wouldn't use it. I needn't have worried, as she jumped into it as soon as I put it on the floor, and absolutely loves it! It isn't very large, but for her it is perfect and she loves the "walls" that she can snuggle against. I would definitely recommend this pet bed for smaller animals!
