My old man of a dog loves it and gets extremely pouty when the little puppy takes his soft bed. He’s an Anatolian shepherd with arthritis. He’s about 100lbs, shaped like a giant potato held up by toothpicks for legs and a normal sized head affixed to the large potato body. So the soft gel bed helps ease his old bones. It does nothing to make the annoying little chocolate lab puppy leave him alone. He just lays there like he’s dead while she chews on his ear. I think it’s because the bed is so comfortable that he just doesn’t care that a puppy is chewing on his ear. Until she bites too hard and then he gets cranky. I’ve personally sat and laid on the bed with him to keep the dadgum puppy from mauling him relentlessly to play. It’s darn soft!!! I would use it for myself were I in need of a soft pad to sit on the floor. I have a very happy potato dog! I tried getting one for the little puppy but she’s too stupid to figure out what beds are for and destroys it in about five minutes. Then she looks at me like I’m a terrible person for making her sleep on the hard floor of her crate every night with nothing to keep her warm or lay on. She’s half retarded, and the other half is just dumb. So it’s not a good purchase for the retarded dog types. It leaves a ridiculous mess when they tear it up!!! I’d rather just get her one filled with that poofy fuzzy stuff so she can sleep on it once then get mad at it for keeping her warm and comfy all night then destroy it with all the vengeance and fury of a 6 month old chocolate lab. Have you ever seen a lab puppy destroy things?! Possibly the most destructive force on earth if I had to guess.On a side note; contact me if you’re interested in a new puppy. House trained and well behaved. Great hunting dog potential.
