I have a large aggressive chewer. Can this bed stand up to that kind of abuse?

No, the bed is basically the same kind of memory foam you would find in a bed that you would buy for yourself. The denim cover and inner water resistant cover might provide some protection, but if your dog is an aggressive chewer you'll just be throwing money away on a bed this expensive.

The bed is silky on one side and polyester on the other, with fiberfill between the two. It is not a tough style bed and probably wouldn't hold up to chewing. We have another bed that is fleece on one side and the fabric that some dog toys are made of on the other. It can be rolled up and has a self-inflate air bladder inside. You can find on Amazon or Costo. Since the fabrics is a lot tougher, it might be better.

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 this is sturdy. But if your puppy is a heavy chewer I would not recommend.

Yes! It holds up to a large dog who has destroyed every other brand we've tried.

The bottom looks to be very durable, not sure of the fabric type, but the bed is very well made, thick and plush. I doubt it could be chewed through. It's made as a typical pet bed with thick padding on bottom and sides.

My dog is 11 Lbs I do not think your dog which is 40 lbs would not be able to use this bed for very long . hope this helps

We have a Springer Spaniel that is super active and jumpy. We haven't had any issues with durability with her...we put the bed in a corner. She does not chew the bed however and a big chewer could certainly chew through this one. The one thing that I don't like about the bed is that the cover on the pad of the bed is of very low quality and doesn't fit the pad well. We are looking for a replacement cover.

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.

I have a 40+ lb dog and a 12 lb cat that share it with room to spare, so it is a fairly big bed. Very pleased with it.

We have two small dogs that share the xlarge bed. This bed is very firm and heavy. A large dog should do well.

I don't believe a dog will chew this unless it's really angry at you for leaving them. It washes great! Have another and have washed probably hundred times.

I think the large size will work well, based on my experience with my Doberman Pincher. BTW, my dog loves her bed, took right to it. And I like that it looks like a piece of furniture, not your usual dog bed.

I bought this bed twice! It took it about two months for my dogs to destroy both! I found an expensive alternative though, but it's awesome! Look up kuranda.com. Chew proof!! We've had this bed for six months, they have been able to do anything to it! Easy to clean too. Good luck! -Linda Alstott

the top of the bed has a thick fuzzy material. it seems to be strong. my labs are not diggers on the bed so can't tell how it will hold up..have had for 3 months and no signs of damage. plus the stuffing seems to be firm. the beds havent flattened out like some others i've had..i will buy more..need a couple for my car

I don't have a large dog (or any dog) but I've dropped things on it, bumped into it, dragged things on it, and haven't been able to hurt it. I've dented the wood underneath, but the finish still looks good, and plan to use it for anything I ever plan on finishing ever again.

Hm, probably not... It works well as a bed frame but is not sturdy enough for 4 large dogs. After having it for 2 months, with only my husband and I (and occasionally our two tiny cats) sleeping on it, it sometimes creaks.
