Why Do Sponge Dog Beds Drive Dogs Crazy?
And WHY do they keep putting sponge in most dog beds?
Every breed of dog I have ever had wants to tear up, and sometimes eat the sponge in her or his dog bed? Is it the petroleum base used for sponge?
I have to use a wool blanket or an outdoor dog bed with natural chips inside to have it last more than a week.

I don't know, but I'm glad to know it's not just my dog that hates them. One bed looked like it had recycled foam in it, so maybe it retained some scent from wherever it was used first. But she has a problem with new foam too. I just use an old bedspread doubled over twice for her bed now.

My dogs go nuts on them too! I can't keep them from destroying them and I don't understand why. So I quit buying them and now I buy soft towels. I haven't had them tare those up yet.

It's awfully hard to fluff up a piece of foam. Ever tried? That's what your dog is trying to do, fluff his bed, to make it comfortable. Kinda like back when people had goose feather pillows. You had to fluff the darn things before you could even dream of going to sleep on one.
Why they make them out of foam? Beats me. I put a baby blanket in my dog's bed. They can fluff it all they want, and the bed itself takes less of a beating.
