My older boxer loves her new bed. This bed is well made. My 1 year old pit bull loves to bite and pull the fabric of my boxers beds (I think a lot of it is jealousy and she's showing her dominance by attempting to claim the bed as her own) She has put it through the rip test, and it has survived. My pit is deaf and I'm not always around to stop her from "playing" with the bed; when I catch her trying to rip out the stuffing, I have to go to her to tell her no. So by the time I get there, the damage is already done; but this bed is tough. This one is tough enough for my pit bull to abuse and so comfortable for my older boxer. My older boxer has trouble getting up and down when the weather is colder or if she lays on the floor. She looks so happy and comfortable in this bed. It's thick and firm enough for her to get up out of it, and more or less step off of. She seems to have more energy and she's more playful now that she has a better bed. I have attempted to buy several dog beds, all the ones I've bought for my boxer in the past end up being ripped by my pit or they seem to break down after a month of use. This one seems to be tough, firm enough that it doesn't make it hard for my boxer to get out of, but soft enough that it soothes her aching joints and muscles. I do highly recommend this bed for younger dogs and older dogs alike. My pit and boxer lay in this bed (sometimes together and separately) and it seems to envelope them and they look so cute and cozy. This bed is not really big enough for two bigger dogs, so don't let my comment about them laying together as this bed being large enough for both, I'm positive that the x-large would be but the large holds them both... but they don't exactly fit perfectly. My pit doesn't mind if she lays on top of the other dogs or her people. She thinks she's a tiny lap dog. They fit but not for long. When I first pulled the bed out of the box, I thought maybe the sides would prevent my boxer from laying in it comfortably but after a few days-week. The bed relaxed and fit her more perfectly. I'm proud of this bed. It was the perfect choice. Highly recommend.
