A Quick Comparison of Our Favorites in 2022:

The 8 Best Indestructible & Chew-Proof Dog Beds:

1. Kuranda Chewproof Dog Bed – Best Overall

The Kuranda has a strong PVC frame that will support up to 100 pounds, as well as an inner Cordura fabric that is as durable as canvas, so it will resist chewing. This bed is easy to clean, and we like that the fabric provides traction for the dog when getting in and out of the bed.

This large size measures 40×20 inches and sits about 7 inches off of the floor, so it is perfect for indoor use. Most dogs are comfortable directly on the bed, but you can purchase a pad separately for added comfort.

It comes with a one-year warranty and is easy to assemble with the provided instructions. On the downside, the fabric begins to sag slightly due to the weight of the dog on it.

2. Paws & Pals Elevated Dog Bed – Best Value

The Paws & Pals is the best indestructible and chew-proof dog bed for the money. We like that it can be used both indoors and outdoors due to its waterproof design, and it is an easy bed to take traveling because it is easy to assemble and reassemble.

The frame is made from metal, and the base is a fabric mesh similar to that of a trampoline. This is a suspended bed and sits about 8 inches off the floor. The medium size measures 32×25 inches and can hold up to 88 pounds.

It comes with four bolts and a hex key for easy setup. The company will donate a portion of each sale to local shelters. It is easy to clean, but the mesh does not seem durable compared to the Kuranda, which is why this sits in the number-two spot.

3. K9 Ballistics Chew Proof Dog Bed — Premium Choice

The K9 Ballistics is a lighter bed that offers quality materials. The frame is made from 100% aluminum, and the ripstop ballistic fabric is encased within the edges to keep your dog from being able to chew on it. We like that the company offers a special guarantee: If the fabric wears out or is destroyed within 180 days, they will replace it for free.

We found setup to be a breeze — it arrives partially assembled, and all you need to do is screw in the four legs, no tools needed. The medium size measures 35×23 inches and sits 6 inches off the ground. This is an ideal size to fit in standard crates as an added comfort for your pet. It can be used indoors or outdoors.

K9 Ballistics has made a great bed, but it is more expensive compared to the Karunda and the Paws & Pals, both of which offer great products at a lesser price.

4. goDog Dog Bed Bubble Bolster

This bed is constructed of a high-pile plush with a cushioned bolter border (and reinforced seams) that is resistant to chewing. We like that it will fit in most standard crates — the extra-large size measures 43×28 inches. We found that it is not indestructible but does last longer than some other beds available.

There are five color choices, and each one has a no-skid bottom, which will help keep it in place on hard floors. It is also machine washable on gentle cycle with cold water, then it has to air dry while laying flat.

The company offers a one-time replacement within 30 days if it is destroyed by your dog. We found that even with the reinforced fabric, an aggressive dog will still chew through certain areas. The seams do help it from coming fully apart, helping it last longer.

5. K9 Ballistics Tough Orthopedic Dog Bed

The K9 orthopedic will hold up well to dogs that nibble, dig, and scratch. The bed is made from CeritPUR-US foam that will keep your dog from sinking through to the floor. The fabric cover is similar to Kevlar, though it’s stronger and machine washable. It also resists grime, dirt, and odors.

We like that the company offers a 120-day warranty — if your dog ruins the bed within 120 days of purchase, they will replace it for free. The small bed measures 24x18x5 inches, and all sizes come in a variety of colors. On the downside, this bed is pricier than others of similar size, but the foam does have a waterproof membrane that will prevent any moisture from seeping to the floor in case of accidents.

6. Slumber Pet Chew Resistant Dog Beds

This dog bed is made from a chew-resistant polyester ripstop fabric with double-stitched seams and reinforced corners for added strength and durability. The sizes start at extra small, which measures at 17-¾x11-¾, and go up to an extra large.

It can be machine washed and spots clean easily. Since it doesn’t have extra seams sewn across the base of the bed, it does not hold together as well with an aggressive chewer, since the stuffing comes out all at once. This bed will fit in crates and is nice for traveling.

7. Midwest Quiet Time Rugged Dog Bed

This pet bed is ideal for use in crates, carriers, and in your vehicle when traveling. It is made from a water-repellent polyester that will stand up to indoor and outdoor use. We like that the cover is machine washable — put it on the gentle cycle with cold water and tumble dry it on low.

This is designed to hold up to minor scratching and chewing but doesn’t have reinforced stitching or seams or any other added durability for destructive dogs. It comes in three different sizes to fit dogs from small to large, and there are a variety of colors to choose from to go with your décor.

8. K&H PET PRODUCTS 1626 Pet Bed

The K&H bed is designed like a cot, being a platform bed with a mesh center that’s made of waterproof 600-denier fabric. It can be used both indoors and outdoors and is great for traveling since it can be disassembled and reassembled easily.

You can clean the mat by wiping it with a damp cloth or spraying it off with a hose. The large size measures 30x42x7 inches and is rated up to 150 pounds.

On the downside, we found that the seams on the mat do not wear well with the weight of heavier dogs, seeming to split easier, and the rubber feet on the legs are thin. On the upside, this bed is affordable and will work well for smaller dogs.

Buyer’s Guide: Choosing the Best Indestructible & Chew-Proof Dog Beds

Here are a few tips and considerations to keep in mind when choosing the right bed for your furry friend

Types of Beds

Platform/Elevated Beds

These can be made of a variety of materials, from PVC to different types of metal. They provide heavy-duty protection for aggressive chewers and come in different sizes and colors. The fabric platform will also vary depending on the brand. It can be made of mesh, a variety of fabrics, or both. These beds aren’t the softest, but they offer some give and are breathable.

Orthopedic Beds

For extra joint and spine support, the orthopedic bed may be a good choice for older dogs. They are firm yet forgiving and distribute your dog’s weight to prevent pressure spots from resting on the hard floor. The downside to these is they can’t effectively ward off aggressive chewers and diggers because your dog can access the edges of the bed and start chewing on it. They will hold up to nibblers and light scratchers, though.

Crate Pads

Crate pads are probably the least durable, even with added extra stitching and seams. Though they can hold up to some abuse, they will not last long with a dog who is intent on destroying their bed. Granted, those that are labeled as a resistant dog bed do hold up longer.

Considerations

Cleaning: Some bed have covers that can be machine washed, and others can only be wiped down with a wet cloth. There are also fabrics that are resistant to odors and stains. If your dog is messy or is prone to accidents, then a more durable and washable fabric may be warranted.

Cost: Our list offers a variety of cost options for an indestructible dog bed. To get a quality bed that will last through the toughest challenge, you will need to pay a little more money. If it is not in your budget, you may do fine with an affordable bed, but it may not last as long if your dog constantly works at tearing it apart.

Design: Think about where you will keep the bed. If your dog becomes hot when laying on a bed or if your dog is older, they may prefer a softer surface to lay on. For example, if your dog is a chewer but likes a soft surface, you can opt for a platform bed and lay a blanket or a cheaper pad on top that can be replaced without significant damage to your wallet.

Ease of use: This mainly pertains to platform beds, since they will require some assembly. Getting one that has a hassle-free setup is essential to reduce frustration. If you plan to travel with it, you want one that is also easy to disassemble.

Indoor and outdoor design: Certain beds are made to be used both indoors and outdoors, which is a great feature if your pet is frequently left outside. Even if they are waterproof or water-resistant, it is best to keep them out of the elements when possible to increase the life of the bed.

Ways to Help Reduce Destructive Habits

• Limit the time your pet is alone so you can intervene if chewing or scratching becomes an issue.
• Provide plenty of exercise for your dog. Go for a walk or play fetch every day.
• Offer other forms of mental stimulation, such as puzzle toys and chew toys.
• If you notice your dog chewing on the bed, immediately redirect your dog in order to teach them that that is not okay.
