To be sure, replacing your pup\u2019s bed time and time again, just to have it destroyed on sight is a really frustrating experience. But do unchewable dog beds really exist? I have spent some time reviewing the beds and bedding that claim to be chew proof, to see if they live up to their own hype.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#exist\">Do unchewable dog beds exist?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#5\">5 dog beds which are (practically) impervious to teeth<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#3\">3 chew proof dog beds for inside crates<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#4\">4 more ways to save a dog bed from destruction<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>*The products linked in this article were carefully selected by The Labrador Site.

Especially when items that should be durable and built to last &#8211; like furniture and bedding &#8211; become the target. Anyone who has ever researched how to solve a chewing problem will be familiar with strategies like redirecting their dog towards an appropriate chew toy. But what about when you go to your own bed at night, or if you have to go out? Chewing up their bed while you\u2019re not there is one of the hardest unwanted canine behaviors to overcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are unchewable dog beds the solution? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, I\u2019m afraid I can\u2019t tell you in all honesty that it is. For a start, the most determined chewer will manage to chomp on almost anything. If they can get their jaws around it, they will chew it. So I don\u2019t think a totally unchewable bed really exists. Secondly, chewing serves a purpose for your dog, in the sense that it meets some physical or emotional need that they have. Giving them an unchewable bed simply means they\u2019re going to have to find another way of meeting that need instead. Usually biting something else! But what about beds that can be chewed, but are impervious to damage from it? Now that&#8217;s another matter&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chew resistant beds are made of ultra-durable materials, or assembled in a way which makes them difficult or unsatisfying to chew. I\u2019m going to share some of the best with you right now. And I\u2019m also going to reveal some ways you can really address the underlying problem, rather than just masking it, or transferring it onto a different target.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Unchewable-Dog-Beds-LS-tall-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"unchewable dog beds\" class=\"wp-image-38371\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Unchewable-Dog-Beds-LS-tall-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Unchewable-Dog-Beds-LS-tall-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Unchewable-Dog-Beds-LS-tall-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Unchewable-Dog-Beds-LS-tall-696x1044.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Unchewable-Dog-Beds-LS-tall-280x420.jpg 280w, https:\/\/www.thelabradorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Unchewable-Dog-Beds-LS-tall.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5\">5 dog beds which are (practically) impervious to teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First, 5 dog beds which the manufacturers are confident can&#8217;t be damaged by chewing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fiocco Dog Cot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dog cots are a distinct category of dog bed that consist of a tough canvas platform stretched over a metal frame. This construction isn\u2019t completely unchewable, the tension in the fabric means that your dog won\u2019t be able to grab mouthfuls of it. So it\u2019s less satisfying than chomping on a soft padded bed. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/FIOCCO-Dog-Cot-Elevated-Dogs%EF%BC%8CKhaki\/dp\/B0BYHFCD96?th=1&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=thelabsit-20&amp;linkId=16762313d00fd99479a806a710d861d7&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\">This example from Fiocco<\/a><span class=\"affiliate-link-text\" style=\"color:#757575;\">(paid link)<\/span>* is great value for money and comes in several sizes.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><span class=\"affiliate-link-image-wrapper\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/FIOCCO-Dog-Cot-Elevated-Dogs%EF%BC%8CKhaki\/dp\/B0BYHFCD96?th=1&amp;linkCode=li3&amp;tag=thelabsit-20&amp;linkId=5cdd850d1fc56aa955d3f293818cef29&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_il\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/31s8Y56yUfL._SL160_.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><span class=\"affiliate-link-text-below\" style=\"color:#757575;\">(paid link)<\/span><\/span><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fiocco Heavy Duty Dog Cot With Cooling Mesh<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar but slightly different,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/FIOCCO-Elevated-Dog-Bed-Washable\/dp\/B0C22W1ZH4?th=1&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=thelabsit-20&amp;linkId=4ddc7c1f32decfa085eb32a4f69c83b5&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\"> this variation on a dog cot<\/a><span class=\"affiliate-link-text\" style=\"color:#757575;\">(paid link)<\/span>* has breathable mesh panels in the canvas platform.

For example a dog who isn\u2019t getting enough physical exercise might dig and chew their bedding to burn off some energy. Another dog who isn\u2019t getting enough mental stimulation might methodically destroy their bed in order to give themselves something to do. This is especially true of dogs from working breeds, who are hardwired to enjoy having tasks to complete. And thirdly, a dog who struggles with anxiety might chew their bedding as a release for their distress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In all of these scenarios, chewing their bed is a symptom of an underlying problem. Buying a bed that can&#8217;t be destroyed doesn\u2019t solve that problem. Here are some strategies people have been successful in using to combat the underlying problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Bitter Apple Spray?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m raising this first because it gets a lot of interest. But I&#8217;m ruling it straight out too! Lots of people are interested in whether spraying anti-chewing sprays directly onto their dog\u2019s bed will make the bed unchewable. But they will also make the bed a miserable-smelling place for your pup, and possibly put them off ever using it again. And like a bed which is designed to be unchewable, it doesn\u2019t actually solve the underlying cause of the chewing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Chew toys<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the simplest ways to redirect your hound\u2019s chewing efforts is to give them something they can chew instead.
