The K9 Ballistics Armored Crate Bed uses a solid aluminum frame and 1200D ballistic ripstop polyester to block chewing attacks at corners and seams. The 1.5-inch recycled polyester fiberfill padding provides joint support without creating pressure points, and the fabric resists dirt, fur, odor, and water. Cleaning is simple: wipe or hose it down and it dries quickly.
This bed targets owners of aggressive or destructive chewers, especially those with large breed dogs that need a tough, comfortable surface inside a crate or as a standalone elevated bed (legs included). Even with this level of armor, a small number of extremely persistent chewers may eventually damage edge stitching over time. That tradeoff is manageable for most buyers, but if your dog has destroyed other ballistic-grade beds, inspect the perimeter regularly.
If your dog has a history of destroying ballistic beds, check edge stitching monthly; for most dogs, the bed holds up without issue.
Bottom line: For owners of aggressive chewers who need a padded crate bed that won't be destroyed, this is the toughest option available.
