MidWest Homes for Pets QuietTime XXS Dog Bed – Cinnamon Faux Fur Bolster, Ultra-Soft and Machine Washable, Fits 18-Inch Crates and Carriers, for Small Dogs and Cats by MidWest Homes for Pets

I’ve been sitting our 8 yr old Grandkitty for 3 months. She suffers from PTSD after 2 terrorizing vet procedures. She misses her mom, my daughter; took weeks for her to feel safe & warm warm-up to us. On the first night she claimed the head pillows on our bed as her own. Nightly stand-offs were not going well. This inexpensive bed was an attempt to keep her fine, chocolate brown fur off the bed & provide her a sense of security by staking a claim. Believe it or not, she took to it right away; she seemed to know it was for her. Here’s what I found:

I chose the smaller version to fit on our bed, yes, day & night. It fits her well, even though she’s a med-large, pudgy lady. It’s been run through the washer, nothing fancy, a 12 yr old top-load, on delicate cycle w/cold water, then dried w/easy heat. Came out brand new. The material and weave on the bottom (kinda like a med-weight poly sports canvas) makes it semi-waterproof which helped protect our coverlet from the hair ball I had to wash-up. (Luckily it landed in her bed, not ours!) Almost bought the fleece bed for softness, but this faux fur is truly soft, not stiff or scratchy as feared. The bottom isn’t heavily padded, so it wouldn’t be that much protection from a hard or very cold floor. However, it’s easy to move around so it’d likely be good for a car ride or on the bottom of a kennel w/a few towels underneath for padding for the older or arthritic pet. The rolled edge is just enough to make her feel comfortably confined and, she often sleeps w/her head on it as a pillow. Although it’s not a prob on our bed, the bottom is rather slick so it’d probably slide around a bit over a hard floor. She’s not a ‘curled-up’ sleeper so she takes up most of the space on this bed. Unlike a smaller, closed-in cat bed, our grandkitty likes to be able to snuggle-in yet see what’s happening around her at all times. So, this open concept bed suits her best.

I need to buy 3 more. We have 3 young feline adoptees who were abandoned at a Fire Station at only 4.5 weeks old (guess the previous owner thought there was a baby cat drop-off, no-questions-asked law). They’re complete opposites; relaxed, friendly, people-like in affection. Even so, for them, like my grandkitty, it’s probably a good idea to get them accustomed to a portable bed in case they ever have to go to a sitter, kennel or visiting. They’ll have the comfort of their own bed, handy to take along to remind them of home. I know my grandkitty’s bed will follow her home for continued snoozing & enjoyment. I recommend this bed for others to try. On the other hand, if you’re a pet guardian, especially a cat parent, you know there’s no absolute way to predict if a pet will take to the bed we want them to use!

I thought it was a good purchase & value. But then, it made the grandkitty happy, what’s not to like?

These vary in quality depending on the color. The pricing is great, so we have selected different versions when we need a new one. The blue and pink ones are the best. The fabric is short and holds up well. The brown and gray versions leave a mess. We are constantly vacuuming chunks of fuzz off the floor with these two. One of our dogs sometimes likes to scratch before laying down, and the brown pad gets a large bald spot.

Great dog bed. It is a little thinner than I was expecting but overall great quality

The puppy bed was smaller than I expected—about half the size of our crate—but it actually worked out well during the first few weeks of crate training. It provided a snug, comforting space for our new puppy to settle in. While it may not be suitable for larger breeds, it’s a great choice for small dogs or young puppies. I would definitely recommend it for those early stages or for dogs that remain small in size.
