Snoozer Luxury Cozy Cave Pet Bed

I have a basset hound, Max, that is very cold natured. He has a dog door so he is always going outside to howl at the neighborhood. But when he comes in, he just sits over on a pillow shivering. He can't figure out how to get under pillows and blankets. Now granted, he is not the smartest dog I have ever had. But he is the sweetest and I hate to see him shivering. So I saw this pillow on Amazon and decided to give it a try.

The result? Max loves it. He immediately figured out how to use it. And now he is in it all the time. And instead of sleeping while curled up in a ball, he sleeps sprawled out inside of this pillow. All you really see is his nose or tail sticking out.

I really have not had it long enough to speak to how easy it is to clean or how it wears. But so far so good.

Here is a video of the first time he came in from outside and climbed into the pillow:

I have two XL beds for my 45 pound vizslas. The dogs *love* them and the XL is plenty large (the Large is not quite big enough). If my two dogs were more snuggly with each other, they could both fit in one XL. The exterior (I have the suede-like material, not the canvas cotton) is nice but the interior fleece lining is low quality fleece. I have had one bed for about two years, and the fleece is now worn down and scratchy. The cover is washable but not in a regular agitator-style washer. I have to take them to the laundrymat and use a front-loader. Another improvement I would like to see is a waterproof liner to protect the dog bed insert. Currently I am using a twin size mattress protector that I sort of wrap around the bed and then put the cover on. It works okay but is awkward to use.

Researched the Cozy Bed for my cold-natured "burrower". First thing I did was take some of the foam out of it...and it was so easy. The bed has a zipper so you can take off and wash and the filler was in a zipper holder so all I had to do was unzip to take out some of the filler. Then I put her in there and she hasn't come out of it since last night. She would strongly recommend this bed to everyone out there! Also, I was pondering what size to get. She is a terrier mix and about 14 pounds, 20" long. I bought the small and and she can stretch out in it or roll into a ball!

I was really happy to see this bed, and the dog seemed to take to it quickly too. Problem is that my dog is a Dachshund who loves to burrow (reason that I bought this bed) and at first it seemed great. I moved it to my room and put it on my bed where he sleeps at night and when he got in, he moved toward the back and laid down, and that's when I stopped liking this bed.

When he tried to curl up near the back, he ended up rolling the bed so that it pointed up at around a 45 degree angle, and then it fell off of my bed with him in it. Dogs who like to burrow also like to have their backs against something, like the back on a dog bed. In this bed, the possibility exists for the dog to get back too far and tip the bid since unlike many foam-form beds, there are no sides nor back.

So, I fixed the problem, and this is how: I took out the cushion first; then I cut a couple of long strips of double-wall cardboard, around 5 1/2 inches tall and about 2/3 the circumference of the bed. I stuck them in to form a ring around the inside of the bed, and then put the cushion back in. Success! He now can lay in the bed with his back against the new wall, no tipping. I also find that he is now stretching out more since he isn't afraid of the tipping.

Note to manufacturer: this is an easy fix and you should be providing that ring.

Unfortunately only bought one and two of my dogs just LOVE it! As soon as one gets out the other gets in. This is a high quality bed and I would have bought another if they wouldn't have raised the price by $30!!! SHEESH
