We chose the waterproof Snoozer outdoor bed for indoor use because we needed a cover that would protect the bed from our dog's sensitive stomach vomiting. We got tired of throwing out other beds! With this bed, we can simply pull off the cover and machine wash and dry! No mess reaches the internal bed underneath the cover. Plus, we've discovered this is the only bed cover strong enough to withstand our Great Pyrenees' scratching habit! He does eventually cut through the cover, but not for many months (compared with one day on other bed covers). Snoozer is saving us money and all our giant dogs love the bed!
