Amazon Basics Pet Cave Bed for Dog, Med

Our French bulldog loves to "dig" into the sofa including under the throw cover we have on our sofa to protect against shed fur, wet paws, etc. So we thought he'd LOVE being able to burrow into this taco-style clam bed. It's definitely big enough for him to get into, but surprisingly he prefers to spend his time on his much older open-style bed - or the sofa :-( I did notice that the time or two when we encouraged him to "climb in" by putting his toys in there his action caused the zipper to start unzipping a bit and I worry about the zipper scraping an eye or catching a foot. It's not a very heavyweight zipper and perhaps the weakest part of the bed. Otherwise the bed is plenty large, perhaps a bit too large for our 36 pound frenchie. The other thing that we noticed is that sometimes he likes to "dig" in this bed and it doesn't take much effort for him to create piles of lint out of the fleece surface which we are worried he'll try to eat. It seems it could result in the equivalent of him eating the stuffing out of a toy animal. All in all, the bed serves a purpose, but our dog hasn't taken the liking to it that we hoped... On the other hand, he hasn't yet tried to shred the bed or the cover with his teeth - something else we fear as he's an inveterate aggressive chewer. In fact one "chew proof toy" took less than 20 minutes for him to rip apart. If he sets his sights on this bed, I fear it won't last long, and I worry a bit about the metal rod that is in the "lid".
