Our German Shepard LOVES her bed! She dives into it, circles a few times, then settles right in. The quality and craftsmanship are amazing. The seams are strong, the zipper is sturdy and durable and removing/washing the cover is so simple. The material is heavy duty. The grommets that release air are well placed on the bed. They don’t scratch my floors when Trixie dives into her bed and ‘surfs’ on it. I love that the bed came in a reusable plastic vacuum bag. Y’all have really considered everything when it comes to this bed. I can see this bed easily lasting many years. Thank you for the thoughtfulness in designing and making this product. We hate wasting money buying beds that we know will last only a year or so. This was a wonderful purchase and if/when it’s time for a new one, we’ll definitely go with another Snoozer product!
