Quick answer
First, assess the damage and remove the cover to prevent your dog from ingesting stuffing or fabric. Then, diagnose why your dog chewed—boredom, anxiety, teething, or texture preference—and apply the specific fix below.
Why durable covers matter for chewers
A heavy-duty cover can buy you time while you address the underlying chewing behaviour. The Canvas Spiced Apple cover uses a tight weave that resists tearing and makes fur easy to brush off, so even if your dog tests it, the fabric holds up better than softer materials.
Diagnose and fix the chewing
- Symptom: A single hole or torn seam, usually near the edge or zipper. If the hole is small and the stuffing is intact, you can repair it. If the stuffing is loose or ingested, remove the cover immediately.
- Likely cause: Boredom, teething, or anxiety. Dogs often target edges because they are easier to grip. If the chewing is focused on one spot, texture preference may be the trigger. Rule out medical causes first: if your dog is chewing fabric excessively, consult your vet to check for pica or digestive issues.
- Corrective action: Remove the cover and machine wash it to eliminate scent triggers. Repair small holes with a heavy-duty fabric patch or stitch them closed. For ongoing prevention, provide durable chew toys, increase exercise, and consider a bitter spray deterrent on the repaired area. If the cover is beyond repair or your dog has chewed through multiple covers, it is time to upgrade to a more durable cover like the Canvas Spiced Apple cover.
- When to stop or choose another option: If your dog has ingested stuffing or fabric, seek veterinary help immediately. If the chewing continues despite environmental changes and a durable cover, consider a chew-proof bed frame or a supervised-only bed access routine.
