The dog bed is soft and cuddly, and not as hard as artificial leather or other (washable) surfaces. The padding is very thick and quilted, so nothing slips and it is especially not a removable inner section exists. The dog may so so scrape together anything. The only drawback, you can forget wash !!! We had bought the same dog bed ever in pet shops and wanted to wash it by hand. Forget it. Soaked wieg the thing then certainly 30 kg. And I'm not Hercules. So let's better not sniff the swamp your Fellnase previously, then keeps the bed probably a year before it is unsightly. And then there is anyway time for a new, or gets her Wuffi anything for your birthday?
