Kuranda Beds! https://kuranda.com/

 

I can only use a Primo Pad in Richter's crate.

 

I use Primo Pads too, however I have had 3 shredded. Even with the zip ties to secure the pad in if they can get their paws under it and shred the vinyl it's done for. It depends on the dog.
I have Kurandas in 2 crates and primo pads in 3.

 

I second the primo pad.

We also have a kuranda bed but it's kept outside of the crate. It doesn't fit any crate exact and there is a gap. My boy got his foot stuck between the bed and the crate about 10 months old. He started SCREAMING at the top of his lungs at 4am. I thought something was attacking him. It was horrifying! Took the kuranda out and bought a primo pad the next day.

 

IMO I recommend Kuranda beds. Have had the same bed for 10 years and now just added another one to fit in the smaller bedroom crate.

 

Very common Doberman issue. My current youngest went through all of our old beds. When buying a new bed I went with an Orvis chew proof bed. Guaranteed chew proof. It took McCoy less than 12 hours to rip out the zipper and get to the batting. Being Orvis, they gave an immediate and full refund.

Fortunately, he generally leaves his crate bedding alone. Although he does "suckle" it. Today at 16 months he is much better. However he will still go at it every once in a while.

 

The Costco large round bed actually lasted a few months in my house, just recently chewed on one portion so we replaced it with a Kuranda bed which has worked really well. I also have a baby mattress that I bought at toys R Us for about $150 that I covered with a fitted sheet and blankets. Both my dogs absolutely love it.

 

I'll definitely look at those. I don't think there is anything a dobie puppy can't destroy!

 

I withheld bedding when she was shredding/peeing on it. She got bedding back when she didn't make messes, and eventually just had a couple of towels because those were the only things she didn't chew or shred. Now she's graduated to a nice fluffy kong bed. In the car, I have a huge memory foam pad that I got at the grocery store for $20. She really seems to like it. But she's also never shredded bedding in the car...

 

Is there anything like heavy duty canvas cover for pillows that you guys suggest?

she is sleeping on towels right now, but that doesnt seem very soft.

I like the two ideas you guys posted, but they dont seem that portable. we do travel a bit

 

My bed destroyer has a primo pad, it does well except that she likes to have something soft. So we cover the primo pad with old sheets, she rips them up in a couple days, I think she tries to burrow in them. But since they are cheap and she doesn't eat them, it works for us.

For travel, we use heavy double sided fleece. She doesn't destroy things when she is with us, only when crated at home alone. I think the fleece we get is like this, but we get ours from a local dane breeder:https://www.cleanrun.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&product_ID=4460&ParentCat=5

 

I want to put in a good word for K9 Ballistics Tuff Crate Pads:
Crate & Kennel Beds by K9 Ballistics

They have a 90 day guarantee and will replace cover if chewed through within that period. We have gone through a myriad of dog crate bed brands and combinations over last 5 years. When we adopted Eva (a.k.a. "The Shredder") in 2012 the challenge was on to find a bed she wouldn't de-stuff and destroy. (the Doberman battle cry?) She even took out a Syntec Bite suit bed ($99) from Ray Allen.

Our current solution is the Kuranda Crate bed, as recommended by other DT members already. Atop that we now have the K9 Ballistics Tuff Crate Pads for both Spock & Eva. Spock loves his pad and never moves it around crate as he used to do with previous pads. Eva still moves hers some, but I think it's because she's frustrated with how tough they are! We have had both Tuff Crate Pads since early Nov 15 with no damage

My boyfriend has heavy duty canvas beds and Gretchen can still chew those up. Primo pads are the only thing she hasn't chewed but she also doesn't really like them. I still buy her beds, she still chews them (not as bad as she used too, she mostly just sucks on them). If she's not chewing on a bed then she's licking/chewing on her feet or legs. I much prefer replacing a bed every 6mo. then her chewing on herself. She doesn't swallow it so I'm not too worried about her chewing. Just my opinion.

 

Kuranda! We bought 2 in the fall. however , if you live in Canada you may have to remortgage your home .
Claire the senior has a big duvet on top of hers as I want her off the floor and the couch is too high. Zack has a blankie on his which he often drags around but he hasn't even attempted to chew the bed.

 

Socialization and wearing their brains out, works for me.

 

I agree with the posts above me. Just curious, does she get a lot of exercise? Play toys? Being a puppy she has tons of energy to burn off and lots of exercise helps. Also if she has toys and you catch her in the act, redirect her to the toys and give her give lots of praise. There is an old saying, a good dog is a tired dog.

 

Yeah I usually walk her to the dog park for a few hours at least every other day, if not every day in the summer. Plenty of toys and she does pretty well with them. Does not chew up stuff in the house. I have a lot of plants and shoes out and she leaves them alone.

Yeah I agree, she does way better when tired and like I said in the first post, I take responsibility since it had been a few days since we went to the dog park.

Right now I just threw a towel over the holes she tore in the bed, but I am still looking for a heavy duty cover/bed. The two ones you guys mentioned is not very portable... which may mean I get two bed.

 

I just ordered a crate pad and a bed from K-9 Ballistics for Anne; she loves to chew the corners of her beds. They are a little expensive ($176.00 for the two), but I am tired of replacing cheaper beds.

When I had Rottweilers only crate pads with covers of ballistic nylon would withstand their chewing.

 

There is always the fall back of straw.

 

All the dogs i have ever had like to tear up their beds, which got expensive so i turned to Goodwill. I would buy blankets (sleeping bags, quilts...etc) instead and put them in the crate. The dogs loved them! They could curl up and get comfy to their own level, drag them out of the crate to sleep on them but they never tore the blakets up like they did with beds.

Just an idea.
Good luck

 

I like this idea

 

Yeah it looks like she suckles then... They all have holes in then but are not shredded... I used the blanket approach and that seems to work.

Cant offer any advice. Just some compassion. I feel you. He is 1.5 yrs old

 

Yeah mine does not "shread" like that haha, just a bunch of small holes in all of her blankets and pillows...

 

It looks like it snowed. SE tears stuff up too. I have purchased two beds from K9 Ballistics. So far they have held up.

 

Yes it does look like it snowed. As u can see in the picture, mr chew-bacca here sleeps in the crate due to his chewing tendancies. He must have let himself out in the middle of the night to chew on my sibe's 2 days old bed. Because of him, this is the 5th bed i bought for my 10 yr old sibe.

 

Update- One+ Year and No Damage !!

Both Spock (above) and Eva ("The Shredder"), who are crated at night on their K-9 Ballistics Tuff Crate Pads (atop Kuranda crate beds) have not chewed or torn either!
First such success with any product.
