Hi everyone

So I thought my puppy was past the chewing the bed stage. She went through 3 in the UK (including ones that are meant to be good for chewers) and then she had a plastic one - it was massive and chewed around the edges so we got rid before we flew over.

So we couldn't find any plastic ones here - so bought her a big Kong one - like a big cushion. Well she has done well... it's lasted over a week.

I can't find any plastic dog beds! I've trawled several shops and even looked on amazon.ca - they just don't seem to stock them.

Nothing else is suitable - I am done with wasting money.

Can anyone help? know anywhere that does the plastic dog beds that you can get anywhere in the UK? I am in Calgary.

Cheers!

Would it be cruel to spray it with that stuff that stops them chewing?

We have just had new windows and doors and our puppy got his lovely mouth around one of the door trims - luckily I caught him before the teeth went in, and I chucked a load of Franks Red Hot Sauce - extra hot (you can put that s**t blah blah blah) on both sides. (Didn't have any no chew spray to hand)

Looked like a bloodbath but he's not touched it since

Here you go - google is your friend

Have you seen the rip-stop waterproof dog beds? http://www.mammothoutlet.ca/outdoordogbeds.htm

Or a flat mat bed: http://www.petonly.ca/Precision_Snoo...054-740010.htm

From experience I have found that dog's that chew past young (teething) puppy stage normally do so because they are bored - have you tried giving him a kong or a hollow chewable (nylon?) bone filled with peanut butter and then frozen (takes them ages to get it out), anything that will keep his mind (and mouth) occupied?

Hope that helps a bit anyway and you manage to get something suitable.

Went to the Hagen one today and they didn't stock them. Am going to get it delivered - am sick of trying to find stuff here at the minute! Thanks for the links! Much appreciated!

You are most welcome.

I usually call first to make sure they have it in stock...

Glad you are sorted anyway.

Who would have thought getting another dog bed would be so much bother? maybe dogs in Canada don't chew

Mine has toys and nyla bones etc and she still chews her bed. Unless it's nyla or kong we don't buy them any more. She got a bone from a friend for christmas - the ones with the nubs on... we took a guess at how long it would last before she ripped it. I won. I guessed 45 seconds... it was 42!

A bloodbath? I am too soft for that!

well only cos the sauce is red and splashed up the side of the door looked a bit weird lol.

He licked it once - ran off and has not gone anywhere near it since. Seems pretty fool proof to me

The kong filled with pate and treats and then frozen work well !

Oh! I thought you meant it had made his mouth bleed loads from the chilli!! I might try it now!

Thanks - it's weird she seems to know what she can chew and what she can't! hasn't tried our sofa's!

Yeah - mine rip up any "nice" dog beds / pillows I may buy - but they now have have a couple of skanky towels and Ikea blankets and they dont rip them up!

Am I mean? When my dog was a pup she slept in a cut-down cardboard box, which she used to chew with impunity when she was teething.

When she grew out of that, or at some point I don't really remember, we simply put her "dog blanket" in a corner we wanted her to use as a bed, and she slept on that .... Or not .... Depending on her mood.

No, you're not mean. I don't think dogs in Canada generally have beds. Nor do I think that Plastic Dogs are at all common.

Really?? I thought most dogs had beds!

At least if you had a plastic dog you wouldn't have to walk it far...
