Does this sound familiar? You buy your dog a cushy place to sleep, and before you know it, she’s torn out all the stuffing. Some dogs just can’t seem to resist the urge to abuse their bedding. If that’s the case, it’s time to get serious. We’ve rounded up super-tough (but still cosy!) options for the chewers, shredders, and diggers of the world, including one failsafe winner approved by shelters and vets everywhere.
Whether you have a teething puppy, a troubled teen, or an anxious adult, here are some steps you can take to prolong the life of any dog bed:
- Make sure your dog gets lots of mental and physical exercise and play every day, especially prior to nap or crate time.
- Interrupt any destruction and immediately redirect chewing to an appropriate item.
- Limit the length of alone time with a pet sitter who offers dog boarding, or break up a long day with a Rover.com dog walker or drop-in visit.
- KONGs
and other puzzle toys keep your dog busy while you’re away. - Bitter Apple applied daily will help your dog resist gnawing on his surroundings.
