Bed eating?

Just spent ten minutes earlier on this evening watching Boydog from the kitchen, having a great time trying to 'kill' his Vetbed.
(Same dog won't look near toys or take hold of the rag at training class, typical!)

He's had it for about three weeks, it is weighted down with three bricks (!).

He has always removed his bed from his kennel and dumped it out in the run, so I have just witheld it for a few days and then put it back again (which seemed to work with our old dog when she did the same).

However it is very cold and I feel bad for him and we bought him the Vetbed especially. Like I say, it isn't brand new to him, and he also has his stinky comfort blanket (a hand towel) for a familiar smell.

Any ideas? I know he would probably be fine in the kennel without it (he is a GSD) but I'd rather he did have it in there when the temperature does go down.

Evie has eaten several vet beds, and had a good go at Buffy's Tuffies bed until I rescued it. She is also slowly but surely working her way through her plastic bed, have sprayed it with bitter apple spray and put cribox on, they seem to make things tastier

I felt like evil mummy putting it back in, he looked like he was having such a laugh shaking it to death....it's funny, a lot of our dogs have been like that with beds, his sister LOVES hers, it's weird.
 
when I took on two rescues (GSD and Rottie) when they started nibbling I use 'Vicks' ( the stuff they use to rub on babys chests when they have a cold...........worked wonders never had any other problems with chewing or nibbling things that they weren't supposed to
