Best Burrowing Bed for Dogs

June 9, 2015 by Fanna Easter

Best Burrowing Dog Bed Ever

Does your small dog adore burrowing under blankets and pillows? Won’t you like to find a bed made for your burrowing beauty? Well I found it and it rocks!

Menusha’s Slipper Bed

This made-in-America bed is perfect for dogs seeking to tunnel and hide in complete comfort. Basically, Menusha’s Slipper Bed has a thick cover sewn on top of an ultra thick cushioned pad and the whole thing is wrapped in microsuede and lined with faux fur.

Let’s chat about the sewn cover, as this is the crème de la crème of this dog bed. The cover’s top is covered in microsuede and the underneath is lined in faux fur. It attaches to the pillow on two sides so your dog can easily tunnel under or pop out. No instructions needed. If your dog loves to burrow, he’ll figure it out in seconds. You’ll giggle watching your dog’s feet sticking out one end or, better yet, slipping upside down with his head and feet poking out each end. 🙂

If that’s not enough, you can choose from designer colors, such as butter, hot fudge, coffee, camel, navy or red. And boy not only does this bed wash well, but it’s also a snap to put the pillow back into place. Honestly, I think the fabric gets softer after every wash. Since the makers understand the antics of most Terriers, they’ve hidden the zipper because, as we all know, Terriers know how to zip just about anything!

Menusha BedPrices start at $86 for smaller slipper beds. Don’t let the price scare you away. They are worth every penny. I can’t tell you how many cheap beds have been destroyed or simply fallen apart within weeks. When tallying $30 per pop, it would’ve been cheaper purchasing a well-made bed in the beginning.

A bit about the bed’s maker: these folks are extremely reputable breeders who actively participate in rescue every day. Before bringing a Menusha Mini Bull Terrier home, you must pass a lengthy, challenging interview process and sign a contract. These folks are the real deal. They take back one of their puppies with no questions asked plus they’re always fostering and transporting rescues to their forever home.

Is this Bed for Puppies?

Yes, but I would introduce it after a year of age, as it will most likely be chewed on. For puppies, I toss old towels and blankets in as bedding. Once chewing subsides, I introduce a well-made bed in their crate.

Choosing a Dog Bed Size

Stella Mae is 28 pounds and 13 inches at the shoulder, and she fits perfectly in the medium slipper bed. She has room to turn around and sprawl out under her cover. The small slipper bed is probably best for dogs under 20 pounds. When in doubt, go a size up. No one likes a tiny bed. 🙂 Dogs more than 30-35 pounds would enjoy the larger slipper bed.

Do know, I don’t make any money off these beds. My goal is to share products that really work, as this is a rarity these days.
