My stubborn dog refused to step on the fabric for a few days- which kept it beautiful and fur free, I didn't super mind because the print is soooo cute. He warmed up to it and now loves his upgraded crate pillow. I loved that this let me use my favorite bed insert, and made it last longer by adding the waterproof liner. I also loved being able to add a bolster pillow wherever I want- my dog loves beds with the bolsters around them, but then he has a hard time getting over the bolster when the bed is in his crate. So, all in all, served all my needs and was SO CUTE.
