Now that I have these beds in the crates I think I need more for the yard and other spots in the house!

Lucy, my 80 lb Shepherd mix took right to her new bed. It is durable, easy to clean, and can be moved to other locations within the house as needed with no problem. Directions to put it together were simple and clear. I opted to purchase the crate version with shorter legs and add the standard legs so I could switch it from a crate bed to a free standing. It has been easy to change the legs.
Our whippet and greyhound love them. When they were puppies they did have a couple accidents on them but they cleaned up perfectly by just hosing them off. They would hate the crate if we did not have them.
My crate trained "love puppy" would chew everything we put in her bed. Until I found Kuranda, we could only line her cage with towels. The Kuranda keeps her cool and comfy. When we're home, she'll take a nap in her cage (unheard of prior to getting this bed). Even her 'brother' likes the bed. I love Kuranda and have told all of my dog-loving friends about it and donated several beds to the Humane Society. I will keep buying!!
Our puppy would chew and ingest the towels and blankets that we put in his crate. Thankfully we learned of Kuranda beds. There is no way he can chew or ingest this bed and he doesn't even try. And it keeps him off the ground which is so much better for him. We first got the cordura material but switched to the ballistic because it catches less hair. These beds are so easy to clean (we hose ours down outside) and they dry in no time! Best invention!
We bought this bed because our mastiff mix dog continuously chewed every thing that was placed in her crate. We tried blankets, plush dog beds, carpet, industrial rubber mats and etc. Eventually we stopped putting anything in her crate and she developed a hip pain from laying on the metal floor. We were convinced anything we put in her crate would be destroyed when we returned home, but the Kuranda Crate bed proved otherwise. We were doubtful about its chew proof capability but decided to make the investment because we were desperately in need of a solution. Although, it is a large financial investment for a dog bed, it is more than worth it. It supports her 85 lbs, fits perfectly in her crate, has stopped the hip pain and is CHEW PROOF!!
Our black Lab destroyed pillow type beds within hours until we tried the crate bed. Once I removed the tray from the crate the bed fit perfect. She now wants to sleep in her crate and actually goes to bed with out a bribe.
I had been looking for a new dog bed for quite a while when I came upon this product. The bed was very easy to assemble, our dog wakes us at 4:45 AM each morning but the morning after receiving the bed we went to check on her at 6:30 and she was still fast asleep. She loves her new bed. I really like the idea of the two sizes of legs that I got with the bed.
I bought a Kuranda bed for my 9 year old golden retriever. He is allergic to dust mites so dog beds and rugs are not good for him. He likes to sleep on my bed, which is also not good for him. The Kuranda bed gives him a comfortable spot to sleep that can be cleaned easily and will help him to scratch less.
I bought this after my one year old amstaff/shepherd mix destroyed yet another pillow-type bed in her crate while I was at work. She also had a nerve-wracking tendency to chew on whatever fabric material she slept on, including T-shirts, old rags, etc. I got sick of worrying about her choking on something when I wasn't around, and the materials she'd chew didn't digest well, making her vomit regularly.
And best of all, it's a breeze to clean. I chose the ballistic nylon version for its durability, but after a few "accidents" in her crate (mainly vomiting due to an upset stomach after a food change)I have discovered that it doesn't absorb liquid, and can be cleaned super-easily (I usually pop the legs off and just hose it down in the shower).
I look forward to getting years of use from this product
This is my 3rd Kuranda dog bed. I've had my first 2 Kuranda beds for several years now and they are still going strong. They are the ONLY beds that have survived my 3 beagles...and cats love them too! Well worth the money.
This is my second Kuranda bed. The first looks like brand new after almost three years of use. But my dog is eleven and life just has a few more aches and pains. So we now have one upstairs and downstairs.
These beds are wonderful! I currently have four... one is new ...the others have been around for several years. All also have the double sheepskin pads for winter. The original canvas pads are still on them all, and in good condition. Three have gone though several Chows and one has been used for two years by a Sussex Spaniel. The only thing that has needed repair...and it was easy...is one whose dog thinks he's a mechanic and removed a couple of screws. I intend to buy more ...I have 10 dogs!
We have had our bed for almost 6 years now and the 3 adult dogs that we have had during that time have loved, or love, this bed. We bought a large bed because our two pitbulls loved to snuggle together. It was big enough for both of them to be comfortable. When we lost one of our girls to cancer, we adopted a lab/pit mix who was much longer than our previous dog. He still loved to snuggle with the other dog and still fit really well. I have put it outside during the summer on the porch and they have loved sleeping on that better than the wood or concrete. It's super easy to clean...just hose it off or vacuum!!!
Love these beds. Make sure you read the info provided on this site about the different fabrics before buying. I have a work dog that lives in a kennel when she's not working. Having this bed for her to sleep on helps a dogs longevity weather they live in a kennel or a home. I have these beds for my dogs at home too. I buy the slip covers for the beds in the house. I cut a piece of memory fome or egg crate the size of the bed and put the slip cover over the top. Now I have a theroputic bed for my old timers. They can not tear these beds up (40 oz covers). I just wish they had more colors to choose from.
We got the Kuranda bed for our 16 mth old Catahoula who just had knee surgery & also has bad hips. we thought this bed would be good for his joints & help to alleviate some of the pain & discomfort that comes from sleeping on the floor. It looks great--very attractive yet sturdy product & color scheme we selected plus the slip cover make it look like a little ottoman which matches the decor! Jasper Bleu loves to use the bed as his "stage" & sit on it looking so regal for us all to admire him. Plus it elevates him just enough to see over the kitchen counter so he gets to watch what's cookin' :)
We use this bed in the crate for our golden retriever. It is attractive, easy to clean (she can get very wet and muddy) and does not hold any doggie smells. Our dog appears to enjoy her bed and because of the construction and material, she dries quickly when she is wet. During the colder months, we are able to slide a heated pet bed under the crate bed and as the heat rises it warms the bed nicely. Highly recommend any Kuranda bed.
I have German Shorthairs that compete in a variety of competitive venues, and when finished for the day/weekend they immediately go to their medium sized Kuranda bed and curl up. They are easy to clean, very durable, and look great in my kennel.
