Ellie-Bo XL Black Sherpa Fleece Mat for 42-inch Dog Cage

Thinner than expected, time will tell about durability and chew proof but hopes are high.

A little thin but easy to clean and soft.

This fleece is a perfect fit for our 42" cage so full marks there. However, it is pretty thin and doesn't offer the dog much padding when she lies down. We still put her blankets in there as well for her. I would say it's more of a liner than a bed.Our GSD enjoys pulling things out and carrying them around and she has done it with this bed. It seems strong enough to cope and she has had a bit of a chew on it without pulling it apart.Our main gripe is with the washing and drying - it has little plastic nobbly bits on the mat underneath, presumably to make it less prone to slipping. When we put the bed in the washing machine and then the tumble dryer (as the Answered Questions seemed to indicate you could do that - there is no care label on the product), it seemed to shed hundreds of the little blighters all over the machines and then all over the floor when pulling them out again. We washed on 30 degrees as the listing indicated but we were picking plastic bits out of the machine for about 20 minutes afterwards! We have attached some photos to highlight how many there were! This means that we will be very hesitant to wash it again and kind of defeats the point of something like this.Overall it's useful for a crate liner but not a standalone bed and we cannot recommend it after the washing and drying turned out so badly.

Does the job

The mat was thinner than expected so we may need to buy a blanket to go on top but it is a good fit in the cage and seems well made.

It is thin like other reviews state but for £11 i didn’t expect a thick dog bed.My frenchie loves it, always laying on it, we sometime put it on the sofa for him to lay on, he prefers the fluffy side. Quality is great and it’s easy to wash as isn’t big and bulky.
