KurandaChewproof Bed - Silver Aluminum - 50" x 36" - Heavy Duty Vinyl - Royal

this is obviously the bed of choice for a lot of people based on reviews but neither one of my dogs will go on it. My senior golden, age 13, refuses, and my newfie puppy, age 8 months, dislikes it also.Working with treats etc. to encourage them but neither one of them is having it, and so I'm giving it away.

The material for the bed feels cheap and there appear to be some stains - either glue remnants or something else. The screws provided to fasten legs are probably for a different model - don’t fit. Not what you’d expect for a $150 product, but connected with customer service and they are shipping new legs. Appreciate the prompt service.Update: Received new legs and screws - much better now

Great made in the USA product that reflects thoughtful design and is well made of high quality materials. While this isn't one if the cheapest options out there, I would place a serious wager that my Kuranda will still be in use and holding up like a champ down the road compared to any and all "better deal"/discount options that really are only a cheap plastic/nylon raised bed that will sag and eventually break...destined to end up in the trash or recycling. I like saving money just as much as the next person, but going with the cheaper option is not saving anything in this case.We have a dog with arthritis and I fully believe his joints and spine have benefitted from the raised level of this bed. Being a large breed and wanting to provide him with the space to stretch out, we got the XL size. This bed supports him very well and isn't hard on his joints like a cement floor. Our dog wasn't all that comfortable with the slick material, but it makes it easy to clean. We added a 2"-thick firm foam therapy bed and he jumps right on and happily settles down.We use our Kuranda all-aluminum beds indoors so we haven't tested it with outdoor conditions. I do have a concern that in the hot sun, the metal would burn our dog or us if we tried handling it and moving it. I have no doubt that the high quality of the Kuranda would hold up better to the elements compared to other similar products out there, but hot metal may be something you would have to think about for outdoor use.Now the bad news. This bed does not come assembled. You will have to put it together. It is also good to know that you will need TIME to put this together. Do not make any plans to have dinner with the in-laws or your boss unless you want to be late because putting this together will most likely take you more time than you thought or planned. This may sound daunting, but I wanted to give fair warning. It is still doable. It is not impossible like some reviewers have said. It certainly isn't so confounding that I would knock it down from 5 stars. Using a little - go easy...a little goes a long way - WD-40 on the *joints* may help with a stubborn connector should you run into difficulties. But, that is the *ONLY* place I would think of using WD-40. Some may think it would come in handy to help slide the material in place, but that probably isn't so smart in the long run without knowing how WD-40 would effect the make-up of your material over time and in the elements. More importantly, you want the material to stay in place and not slip out from the channel/groove that you slide the material into. Because of that danger alone, just rely on muscle to slide the material in place. Sliding the material in place - four sides - is really what takes the most time and effort. It takes TIME and patience, but makes sense. You want this part to stay in place once it is put together. In addition to time and patience, you will need a screwdriver as well. This certainly isn't something that you can snap together, but it also won't snap apart or give way under your beloved animal either. Once you get it put together, taking it apart is probably not on your bucket list. In the end, though, you will have a reliable raised bed that will hold up to your pet's use.I love our Kuranda all-aluminum beds. We bought a second one after being impressed by the high quality of the first Kuranda bed and the comfort of our dog.

Worth the price tag. Seriously. Plus I feel good about my large dog not sleeping on hard floor

We use these at a small animal shelter…top of the line…replacement parts etc!

I love this bed for my Hound Dog Mix. He loves it also! Its very attractive and my other dogs like it too.

I have rambunctious German Shepherds and the beds held up well. I think my oldest is over 10 years old; I can't remember. Spare parts are available from the manufacturer, which is nice.

The media could not be loaded.  Super easy to assemble and seems extremely durable! This brand and bed was highly recommended by our trainer.My maligator has chewed through/destroyed every kind of dog bed. The first thing the little stinker did when we gave this to him was try to destroy it. However, as you can see in the video, he gave up fairly quickly. DING DING DING! Kuranda dog bed:1 Malinois: 0

Well made solid bed! Unfortunately, my dog prefers his old foam bed and will only lie on the kuranda if I tell him to. It's odd because he slept on this type of bed before we adopted him. I have ordered a pad for it hoping my dog will like it better.

Awesome dog bed, as described, goes together relatively easy. Bought the XL 40 oz vinyl aluminum. Thought my adult gsd would need some coaxing to use, but she stepped on and has used without urging ever since. She is older and arthritic, and appears comfortable while on the bed. I'll have to get another one for my gsd pup. from my perspective, love how light bed is to move (no more dragging a heavy foam bed around) and how easy to clean since german shepherds are also aka german shedders LOL

Our Saintberdoodle is 90 lbs and lays on this outside in the shade. We had owned for a while now and it has held up well. No issues. Would recommend to anyone. If I could offer one improvement it would be small perforations to the surface to allow air circulation.

Bed is strudyand well built, but was not easy to put together, so far my dogs are neutral to it and hoping once I put it outside they will use more.

Like these but had to put mattress pads on before the dogs would lay on them
