Chew Proof Crate Pads

When getting a new puppy that you plan on crate training, bedding is an important topic. Some people opt for blankets because they worry about their puppy ruining a crate pad. With the cost of crate pads and dog beds, it’s understandable that you wouldn’t want to buy multiple in a month or a year. Let’s examine the pros and cons of buying one of Gorilla’s Chew Proof Crate Pads  instead of going with blankets or a regular dog bed.

Safe and Indestructible

When crate training, you may find your puppy is the type to get bored easily. Bored puppies often turn to destructive means as a form of entertainment. This means you have to run out and buy new bedding any time you come back from work or a trip. Or worse, you end up needing a trip to the vet because they swallowed something they shouldn’t have.

With Gorilla’s Chew Proof Crate Pads, these pads can withstand the scratching and chewing of any puppy or large dog. You can go on your trip or to work knowing that your dog will have the comfort they need and that their pad will remain in one piece. They even come with a 125-day replacement warranty giving you more bang for your buck.

Easier Cleanup

Training a puppy can be challenging, especially crate training. Chances are they may not be fully potty trained, but even if they are, that doesn’t stop them from getting excited and peeing a little when they see you. This can result in many messes throughout the training process and that means you will need something you can wash easily.

Large dog beds and crate pads can be difficult to wash because of their size. You can’t just throw something for a bigger dog into a washing machine, it’s simply too big of a load! However, with Gorilla’s Chew Proof Crate Pads, you can! They are machine washable thanks to the removable cover. They are also resistant to mold, mildew, dirt, and water making these pads nearly impossible to ruin.

More Comfort

While blankets are simple and easy to clean, they don’t provide much comfort for your pooch. Dogs that have comfortable bedding, even orthopedic bedding, are known to have fewer joint problems as they get older. When given proper bedding it allows their joints to rest. This relieves pressure off of the joints, giving them many more years of play ahead of them.

Fit

While comfort is a big concern and you likely want to toss their regular dog bed into the crate, not all beds will fit. Beds are often bulky, fluffy, and take up too much space, jeopardizing your dog’s ability to move around. While they may be a puppy now, eventually they will need a bed that is just as big as them and their crate. Getting a crate pad allows all of the crate floor to be padded without limiting your dog’s ability to move around.
