Beds for greyhounds

[TwyfordM]

… that can resist her attempts to make it look like Christmas came early ideally!

Lucy has an annoying habit of leaving her bed alone for a while then out of the blue pulling it apart. We’ve tried quilts, those only last a few days …

She’s about one more bed away from sleeping on the floor so this one needs to last ?

Any recommendations appreciated

A plastic shell of a bed and a cosy blanket, can get fleece throws for about 5-10 for a big one or duvet cover in the middle ?

There are quite a few brands of elevated dog beds, coupled with some vetbed they can be a practical solution. Greyhounds hate sleeping at floor level as it is the coldest place in the room. I am afraid our three lurchers have a sofa each! Sophie chewed the occasional hole in her blankets for the first couple of years we had her but has not done it since. I think it is a stress relieving activity and probably a relic of past stress, not a reflection of her current situation and should fade in time.

I was going to enthusiastically suggest Ivy's lovely Earthbound bed but then I saw the bit about destruction!

How about a plastic bed lined with some vet bed and a couple of cosy blankets?

I have used the Vetbed solution, coupled with a hard plastic bed as either component still works if chewed. One Vetbed sheet was more hole than bed but it still was good to lie on!

However, we had a breakthrough with the cheap and flimsy fluffy doughnut beds. I thought it would last less than a night before being dismembered, but it was for a special occasion, maybe firework night or something, so I treated him as it was cheap. He loved it. Snuggled in it. Never chewed it. The flimsy bed has outlasted every other bed we have ever bought!

I still can hardly believe it.

They now have matching ones in their crate and, even when locked away unattended, the beds are safe.

Had to put a stop to that when I physically got pushed out of my own bed, more than once … ??‍?

I think mine is broken, she doesn't really do going on our bed. She's only jumped on it once when I've been in it and maybe a handful of times when I haven't been.

Oh dear, chuckling!!

Managed to find a bed at B&M today to tide her over until I can find one that’s decent …. Guess who’s on it? ? Lucy’s on the sofa…??‍

Wouldn’t mind, but it was said Pipsqueak that we discovered is actually the bed destroying culprit so Lucys name is cleared ?
