I have a seven-year-old dog. I bought her $150 dog bed when she was younger and she has never used it. I used the bottom cushion of it as a crate mat and she likes that but she will not get into the doughnut dog bed. I bought the Bark bed for her and she got on it as soon as I put it down on the floor. I brought it upstairs for the night and she immediately got on it rather than asking to get up on my bed. I’ve already made up my mind to purchase another one so I won’t have to be dragging this one up and down the stairs. She absolutely loves it and I do too. It is good quality.
I just received this dog bed and bought it based on all the great reviews. However it claims to be 3” in height, but after 30 minutes it never expanded to the stated size. Bummer. I’m keeping it though - too hard to repack & my dog seems satisfied. If the dog is happy then momma is happy.

I am changing my 3 star rating to a 5 star rating BUT ONLY FOR THIER CUSTOMER SERVICE. THE BED STILL ONLY GETS A 3 STAR RATING.
After posting my review, I was contacted by Kathryn in Customer Service via emails. I have to give some major kudos to BarkBox and their customer service. They have offered to send me a new bed since they think I received a defective bed (since it didn't expand to the 3" as quoted). I haven't received the new bed, but I am very impressed with the communication from Kathryn.
Sorry about the title on this review but I that sums up the incident that I found myself dealing with this morning!!
We have 2 German Shepherd puppies about 3 months old. Someone had a tummy ache and bless their baby hearts, they've NEVER had any accident in their bed, until this morning. There was a mess!! You can imagine!! Explosive and everywhere!!
After the puppies were cleaned up I was worried how the bed would clean up and I almost just thru it out but I remembered reading it was waterproof somewhere. So I unzipped the mattress pad cover it comes with and to my shock and awe NOTHING had gone thru to the mattress!! The mess sat for a little while because I had to clean the puppies up and I'm not sure when the accident happened exactly.
I was so amazed that nothing soaked thru to the mattress itself!! I cleaned the mattress cover and removed everything I could and then thru it in the wash. I washed it on HOT twice just to make sure nothing was left in the machine. I used a little Resolve Carpet Cleaner ( yes on stains in laundry) Persil and Clorox.
I thought the cover would shrink and come out heavily stained and/or bleached out.
Again..... SURPRISE!! :)
Ta-Da!!!!!!
The cover came out looking like new. Nothing remains of the huge mess from earlier!!
Thank you for making a puppy/dog friendly mattress and cover! Not only have the puppies enjoyed sleeping and laying on it, I love how durable and easy to clean it is! I highly recommend it!
I have a 14+ golden retriever that weighs about 65 pounds. The illustration is very deceptive in leading one to believe that the bed is large enough in size to fit her. Also, the thickness of the bed I would question as well. I was buying something that was for my aging golden, meanwhile she does not use it as it is to small. It comes in a very small box and unfortunately, once it is opened you cannot put it back in the box for a return.
Cheap zipper. Not an incredible product but does the job for a crate.
We were looking for a new bed for our dogs and couldn’t be happier with our purchase. Previously we have bought beds from Harry Barker. I have been disappointed in their selection of beds for awhile so I decided to give this a try and I’m so glad I did! My dogs love to rest on it. I am also a dog babysitter and my clients have been fond of it too.
My dogs are 50lb Goldendoodles, and my client is a 25lb Samoyed puppy. As you can see, Scout takes up most of the bed. If you have a dog larger than 50lbs this may not be the bed for you. Hopefully they offer an XL soon, I would love to purchase one!
Side note, the bed came with a stuffed squeaky pea (like the princess fairytale) and my dogs are obsessed with it.
This is pretty crappy quality. I could have gotten something like this for a third the price at TJ Maxx. So lame. It's fine and kinda works. And we just piled a bunch of blankets on top of it to make it more of a pad, but what's the point of this if you need to do that? At the end of the day, it's a very cheap product not worth the money. Don't be tricked by the price or photos...
Excellent bed. I thought at first it looked sort of thin but it does not really sink and is very supportive. My 75 lb german shepherd would rather lay on this half the time than sleep with me on my bed!
Really happy with this. My dog ignores most of the things I buy him for his own good but he uses this bed all the time and doesn't toss around much on it. He's also obsessed with the ball it came with. More so than the bed. He's almost 11 - i haven't seen him obsess over a toy since he was a puppy. It's very sweet.
The bed plumped up to be the 3" in height as described. Fits perfectly in his crate. Happy with this purchase!
Bought one to try, and so far they are fighting over it, have bought another one today for my girl. Love this new bed for both my fur babies, will definitely recommend, love the fact its Washable, although obviously haven't tested that one yet. Would be interested to know if able to purchase extra covers? 4 stars, only because havnt tested the washable factor.
Fits perfectly inside our Midwest crate! And now our Willow sleeps in! It came quicker than anticipated, we very happy with the quality of the product far better then the over priced ones we are in store here in Aus.
Great product and service! Product is exactly what is described and it inflated perfectly! Also easy to use, just strip the cover off when it needs a wash! Would buy from the supplier again!
The foam is really thick, and the cover looks plush. Not sure how well it would hold up if my dog decides to scratch and dig but there are replacement covers for sale, so no biggie. Overall, great value for money.
