KSIIA Washable Crate Bed

The verdict

This is a crate pad rather than a bed, and that is the right object for the crate. KSIIA gives it as 35 by 23 by 3.5 inches with a plush top over polypropylene fibre held by six keyhole stitches, and states it can be washed by hand or machine and keep its shape — the keyhole fixation is what that claim rests on, because loose fill migrates into one corner after the second wash. The base is described as anti-slip and anti-scratch, which is the detail that decides whether the pad stays flat or ends up bunched against the crate door at 3 a.m. The maker rates it for dogs up to 60 lb. The plush surface is the trade: it is warm and it is exactly what a teething puppy will pick at, so if yours is already opening seams, an empty tray for a few weeks is the safer answer.

Drawbacks

• A plush top is the first surface a teething puppy will open
• One size per listing, so the crate has to be measured first

What the listing says

• Sized and shaped for a crate floor rather than a living-room corner
• Six keyhole stitches hold the fill, which is what survives repeated washing
• Anti-slip base, so it does not end up bunched against the door
