I am really disapointed with these,
I bought three yesterday at crufts ( Not cheap ) and within half an hour my 4 month old puppy who only has half a set of teeth had chewed through it and pulled all the stuffing out.
I have had them before when i got them from a charity shop and they were fine for the older dogs.
Phoned Tuffies this morning and they told me that puppies will be able to chew through them very easily as they have sharper teeth !!
I can send it to them for them to repair it for me at my expense for carrage both ways!!
Really disapointed.

What is a tuffies bed?!!
Never a good idea to give anything nice or expensive to puppies :-)

i bought the cover to go over the bed too i been happy with my bed the dogs love them

Had two giant ones for 5 years they've been dumped in the old kennel run so not used at the moment (except for the field mice to nest under)  Our 2 year old lab has wrecked two of my smaller ones & now lives on a bed of straw :-O  Won't be letting him near my giant ones any time soon (saving them for good dogs who lie in the sun on them :-D)

I have found them the very best beds I have ever bought, what I like is the easy of cleaning and my dogs have not recked them in over 2 years where as in the past no bed have ever lasted more than a couple of months including vet beds. It is true however that I would not use one for a puppy always use vet bed for pups.

I was thinking of getting these for my lot, like the idea that you can hose them down or just wipe them. Might leave it a while before the pup has one though.

i reckon my breed to be one of the most destructive and certainly have never been able to keep any bed more than a few days before total destruction.....until i discovered tuffies and had a giant bespoke fit one made and two of their large suze ones as well and Ive had them since crufts 2008 without so much as a tooth mark and cant praise them highly enough

I got a Tuffies bed for my GSD as she has mobility problems, she hates the surface of the bed and wouldn't get on it at first. It took a little persuasion and a cosy fleece before she dared lay on it.

My Rough Collie won't get on it for anything, so the tuffie is going to end up stuffed in the loft eventually.

We have an older, slightly leaky boxer who has just had a little health scare and is a little wobbly at the moment so at Crufts we thought a nice new super-squishy bed would be nice. We went around all the stands and thought Tuffies would be ideal for her 'accidents' but when we felt the material it made an awful crunchy noise and seemed hard and un inviting.
We settled for a squishy sheep-skin type she can sink into and she loves it. :-)

I love Tuffies for their easy clean, no smell, hold their shape properties but I don't like the scratchy noise either!!

Mine won't go on without a fleece but even then I find them very good as I only have to wash the fleece to get rid of the smell.  My breeder uses Tuffies too and perhaps because she has several dogs all competing for bed space hers are well used.  As a result her wipe clean covers have softened to a leather type feel and the dogs love them.

I've tried lots of different beds and most either get chucked because you can't wash them or because they've gone lumpy in the washing machine :(

you can buy cover to go with the tuffies bed i have four covers for two x larger bad two on two in the wash.
you can have a fleece or a web matrial wash up easy dry very quick or tumble dry.

We have had the tuffie beds x large (waterproof ones ) for nearly 5 years and I cant praise them enough.
Even after all this time they still look like new, One of our Newfie girls is a real bed digger and even she
hasnt damaged any of them which was one of my concerns along with were they really "waterproof " before
buying. We have 5 x large in the house and 6 smaller ones in the dog van, as they are so easy to clean.

Have recommended them to loads of people and still do. Puppies that we have bred when they first
have access to them think they are great to dive & play on and then sleep on when they realise they are so
comfy but I always supervise young pups when they have access to them and I would tell a puppy off if they did
try to nibble part of one. Luckly though I have not had to do this, as they have never seemed to have had the urge
to try and chew them, more interested in playing and sleeping on them.

LOL my dogs love the noise the beds make when they are 'being made' by loads of digging, wondered about having a cover but they would rip it up so they have the beds as they come and I have nothing but prase for them, to be able to scrub them with the yard broom hose them off and have them dry in 10 minuets is also a big plus.

Ordered 2 more at Crufts, cant praise them enough, have saved me a fortune in washing, and bedding!

Have to agree with nova about the noise.  Mine love it aswell.
