Are the squares individually sewn onto the bedspread and if so, how is the stitching. Would they hold up to a small dog scratching at it

One side is sewn, opposite side is one piece. If you have a digger use only the opposite side up otherwise your cover will be toast.

They are not sewn individually....as far as I can tell since the spread is double sided. You can have the squares side up or the one full print side up. We also have a small mix dog that scratches and so far so good. On thing not to do is iron the shams without something on the inside to keep the lining and fabric from sticking together. The lining on them seems to be similar to iron on lining. I do really like the spread!

Each square is machine sewn together, but there is a design wave type stitching on each square. It looks to be machine stitch with a longer stitch to look hand stitched.

Sorry, I don not have an answer for you because I just packed it away for the winter.It just looks very nicely made.

The squares are individually sewn on main side but not thru to the back which is one solid piece. It is sewn well but unfortunately won't hold up to dog claws...eventually they would probably rip. I would suggest using reverse side which doesn't have the stitching.

This bed isn't really a chewable object because the fabric is tight. I just raised a large puppy ... she managed to chew the wood trim, a pair of binoculars and other items. But didn't chew the bed that was just replaced. The previous bed lasted for several years - it was a good buy. my old arthritic dog loves it and the new puppy is on the bed with him. So it's holding two dogs of about 120 pounds. If your dog likes to scratch to make a bed, you might put a blanket on it.

My two labs scratch like maniacs on their's and have not damaged them yet. Hope that helps!

I have a few small snags that were caused by my small dogs digging at it trying to bunch it up to sleep on. Otherwise, I do not think it would snag.....I just ran my fingernails all over it without any problems. I love it. It is too heavy for us to sleep under though as we live in the south.

Here are my thoughts on your question. My dogs are 10 and 13 lbs. neither one really likes to go outside except to do their business (and not always then). What I can guess about your situation is this...The tags are attached with a cloth and Velcro wrap that goes around the collar. I'm not confident that they would stay on with no trouble on a very active rough and tumble kind of dog. But, I do think they could easily be stitched to the collar in a couple of places and this would alleviate any problems from arising. They have heavy duty needles and thread that could work easily. A regular needle may even do the trick. They are really cool tags and worth the little bit of extra effort, I think. Here are my thoughts on your question.

I pre-washed mine before I embroidered them, although they are already pre-washed. They are a bit wrinkled, but I didn't see it as an issue. If you want them smooth, you would need to press them. I'm very happy with the quality and will continue to purchase only these towels for my needlepoint.

My dog is not a scratcher, so I can't say for sure, but the fabric is thick and tough and my guess is it would hold up much better than any other bed I've seen. Hope this helps.

Yes pillows can be tucked in but there is no design on that part. Beautiful bedspread but a little disappointed in the quality of the colored stitching. Several places the stitching is unraveling and it has yet to be washed.

Mine survived 2 washes before it started to bunch up in the corner. It does scratch.

I had some issues. If you have any concerns and your dog does any scratching, I would inquire as to having a custom cover made. They are a great company with excellent customer service and the bed itself is great.

It's a pretty tough fabric. Unless he's actually clawing at it or digging on it it should be fine. It's hard to answer this question except to say I think it will be fine. I have a 90lb rottie that has been using it for over 2 years. She doesn't claw at it or mess with it though. I also put an old comforter I had on it. A dog certainly could destroy this though if it wanted to, but it's not going to happen by accident.

Our dogs do some fluffing and it seems to hold up well. We do cover ours with a sheet or what have you as the brown cover shows dirt and slobber. Regardless, the cover holds up as the sheet gets tossed off the bed, etc. I will also add that we have washed the cover a few times and it holds it size and shape. Zipper seems to be of sturdy quality as well.

I love these beds as they are so easy to wash/dry but they are not for chewers. However the bags they come in are great for a source of material to patch holes chewed in the beds.

The comforter is box-stitched just as you see in the picture. They do not shift to the bottom and clump up. I've had the problem before with other comforter that was not box-stitched

Yes, there is a small amount of green stitching on this bedspread. I love this bedspread. It's very pretty.

It has a lot of stitching in it I think it would be fine. I have a small dog as well and have had no problems. It's a beautiful quilt.

Hi...I love the quilt but haven't had the need to launder it yet...it is being used as a "topper" over a solid bedspread. I think it will launder well just by looking at the construction...well-made and seems of generally good quality...should translate to an item that would wash well.
