Cozy Cave

My dachshund, Bridget, absolutely loves her new dog bed, or her "pocket," as we call it. It was a great purchase as it has solved the problem of her stealing her sister's bed. High quality product. Very satisfied customer.

I chose this for our " old lady" just after her heart attack. In spite of the price we wanted her last days to be warm and comfortable. Four months later she's still slowly crawling in to snuggle down in her bed. Only three problems: we had to add padding to the back to help hold up the top and give her a less closed in feeling; she's so short the bed was a struggle at first to maneuver into; finally the cat and other doxie sometimes beat her to it, so she waits for them to leave! Thanks for a great product!

My 4 year old Doxie loves her cozy cave. It took her about a week or so before she regularly went to the cozy cave but now she is in several times a day along with her favorite toy at the time. The cozy cave is placed in front of the fireplace and she is very content as it is really warm and cozy place for her. If we can't find her, we look in the cozy cave and that is usually where she is. I would recommend this to other owners.

My dachshund has been using his new Cozy Cave for a few days. The idea is great, and the construction is fabulous, as is the amount of padding in the base of the bed (nice and cushy, especially for older dogs, with arthritis issues). However, there are two problems with the design, which became immediately apparent when my dog got into the Cozy Cave. Since there is a flexible "rod" in the top, this makes it easy for a dog to crawl into the cave and find the opening. But once inside the cave, the flexible rod also prevents the "cover" part of the cave from draping completely over the dog, if they are a typical dachshund, who truly loves to "burrow in deep," hiding inside the cave for warmth and coziness. Thus, my dog is inclined to crawl towards the back of the cave, so the cover can go down over his body better, but since there is so much padding in the base, the entire cave "tips" a bit sideways, as the weight of his body shifts inside the cave. When this happens, now my dog's body is completely OFF the cushioned part of the base and the cave is now "tilted." Because of this, he does not like to stay and sleep in the bed for a long period of time (since he wants the cushioning under himself) and the better part of his body is on the floor and not on the cushioned part of the bed's base. I don't know if other dogs have had this problem or not. My 10 pound dachsie boy is a great fit for the small bed, size wise, but it's too easy for him to slide off center, and off the padding.
