Orthopedic 4" Dog Crate Pad by Big Barker - 36" x 24". Waterproof & Tear Resistant. Thick, Heavy Duty, Tough, Washable Cover. Luxury Orthopedic Support Foam inside. Made in USA. Sized to perfectly fit inside a 36" x 24" crate.

Well that took exactly one day. Not nearly as durable as I expected. Not the same quality as all my regular BB beds, and certainly not the same support level. Very disappointed that this was wrecked so easily, especially given the cost!!!

Dog loves. Wonder if I could buy a replacement cover?!🤔

Super impressed with this crate pad. We are fostering a young German Shorthaired Pointer who came to us from a sad background and arrived with no training, terrible manners, anxiety, and a desire to chew and destroy all things fabric-covered (particularly soft things and anything with stuffing). In the first month we had her, she destroyed pretty much every bed and crate pad we tried. The Big Barker crate pad was a life saver and was the first thing that worked and allowed her to graduate from sleeping on piles of towels and blankets (which she also chewed) to a real bed. The cover is not officially chew-proof, only tear-proof, so I didn't have super high hopes that it would survive. But we've had it about 3 months, and it is still in perfect condition. The main reason it works so well for us is that she doesn't want to chew it. She's tried halfheartedly a few times, but it's not an attractive chewing target for her. It's canvas-type material (rugged, not soft), the orthopedic foam makes it firm instead of pillowly, and there are no easily-accessible seams (I removed the cute sewn-on logo tag to eliminate that temptation). Plus, it fits well in her crate, so she can't really get to the zipper, and the pad is not flexible enough for her to be able to grab it and pull it out of her crate.I have washed the cover twice and it comes out looking as nice as when it was new. Our foster dog has had 2 accidents on it and it survived well both times. The first time she had a crate accident, poor pup completely emptied her bladder all over the crate and herself (unbeknownst to us, she had a UTI - found out when we took her to the vet the next morning). It was a lot of pee because of the UTI. A lot. And we were gone for a few hours. So some pee did work its way onto the inner foam. I cleaned the foam as directed, disinfected it with a liberal saturation of lysol spray for good measure, and let it air dry in the sun - came out as good as new with no stains and no smell. The second accident was a normal amount of pee (she had been sedated for some xrays and was still sort of groggy), and there was no leakage onto the foam that time. The cover also withstands daily sloppy drinks from her crate bowl, and protects the inner foam perfectly. So although the cover does not appear to be waterproof in extreme situations, it is certainly water resistant for spills and normal accidents.Anyway, this crate pad was one of the best purchases we made for our foster dog and it helped us get through a really difficult adjustment period. Happy to report that after a few months of working with her, our foster dog still has some chewing relapses, but has now graduated to 2 real dog beds (Cozy Caves) in addition to her Big Barker crate pad, plus a soft blanket in her crate (yay!).

This product is amazing! Very high quality materials, which is shockingly very hard to find in a dog bed, especially if you have big dogs. Our recent American Bully rescue still sleeps in his crate at night and we got him the crate pad to replace the expensive but very flimsy one we had bought at the pet store. He used to toss an turn and scratch at his old bed all night until we got him this bed, now the only noise he makes is adorable doggie snoring which tells me that he is sleeping well!This bed is like a little Tempurpedic mattress for dogs, it won't bottom out like other dog beds and is going to last forever. It might take your pup a little bit to get used to it, especially if they are used to the stuffed type of beds. We helped the transition by topping it with a fluffy stuffed blanket so it would be a little more plush feeling at first. The bed will soften a little bit as it is used, so it continues to get more comfortable as they use it.As for the price, yes, these are more expensive than other beds, however, this one is actually going to last, so you will end up saving money since you are not going to have to replace it. We used to replace our dog beds at least once a year because they would flatten out, we tried all kinds of beds, some very expensive ones and they would all break down. If you have a big dog this bed will provide them with the support their big bodies need.The only thing I would change about the bed would be to have different options for the covers. Our boys are not particularly tough on covers, so we don't need need the extra durable cover. I would prefer to have the option for one that is more plush and cozy like a fleece topped one. Currently, we just cover it with a fleece blanket which is working fine.If you are on the fence and the price feels like a splurge, just do it! Think if it like a mattress for your dog, not the disposable beds that are still so expensive at the pet store and will break down in no time.

I have two Boxer brothers who are the loves of my life. Unfortunately, they've chewed and eaten every type of blanket, padding, pillow of bedding I've ever tried putting in their crates. No matter what I tried, it was ripped to shreds and eaten.I actually ended up with one boy at the vet's with an obstruction to the tune of over $1000 and nearly losing his life.I was beside myself because they do have to be in their crates for a few hours off and on, and I live in a cold climate. I didn't want them on the hard cold surface with no cushion, plus the pressure on their joints over time.I searched hundreds of chew-resistant dog beds, but the reviews were lukewarm at best. I stumbled upon the Big Barker dog bed and it seemed more durable than the others and I liked that it was made in the USA, so I thought I'd give it a try.WOW.This has been a game changer. They absolutely love it! Not even one attempt to scratch, chew or damage this dog bed.Not only that, but it's EXTREMELY well-made, quality fabric, uniquely designed zipper closure underneath so the dogs absolutely can't access the zipper, work it open and start ripping/chewing the foam (the #1 design flaw IMO with most dog beds).Super easy to take the cover off/on to wash.The orthopedic memory foam is highly dense and it REALLY retains it's shape and form. Definitely stays very supportive with just the right amount of "give" to feel good on the pressure points, but firm enough so it's not "mushy".I was initially hesitant to buy this bed and balked at the price, but I've been very pleasantly surprised and I can't recommend it more highly. Thank you for making this wonderful product!
