Review on Blue/White MidWest Homes for Pets Reversible Paw Print Dog Bed in Various Sizes by Tara Greene

I bought two different sets of Midwest Homes pet houses - the Midwest Paw Print Reversible Bed and the Midwest Quiet Time Ombre Swirl Deluxe Pet Bed - because I bought them unnoticed and was therefore a bit skeptical. I am no longer a skeptic! Wow, both great box pillows! In fact I kept both sets and ordered more so all my dogs could get a new plush bed to replace their old beds (now flattened from years of use). The new Midwest beds are very durable, well made, soft, plush and thick. My (spoiled lazy) collies love them. And they are very picky! The beds are heavy enough that these dogs over 50 pounds can enter the cage without disturbing the pillow. Once inside, the dog can move around the mat without going into a corner. However, I have a collie who loves to "hug" his crate pillow (he has one with a blue paw print on it) and unlike orthopedic foam pillows/beds, these Midwest pillows are flexible so he can roll up one end and tuck it in .under the chin as a pillow. As these are new purchases I cannot yet say how the pet mats/beds will wash. The manufacturer claims they are machine washable and I assume they will be because they are soft, well made and made of good material. But they are a little big and the 36" and 42" sizes (my purchases) are bulky. Just take a look. Based on my previous experience of washing large upholstery/bumpers/pet beds multiple times, I am confident that these new rugs will wash well too. The surface of pillows/beds can be wiped very easily and thoroughly. Pet hair is easily torn off and other "garbage" (cookie crumbs, pebbles, twigs, leaves, etc.) is shaken off immediately. Last but not least, Revain's amazing prices for pet beds of this quality make them an incredible purchase! As a multiple dog owner, I have tried to detail both pillows as each owner's needs are different and I know reviews were important in my purchase decision. I hope these comments help you choose the best bed for your best friend!
