Costco Cedar Dog Beds...are they dangerous???

[Greydusk]

I have two of these beds, one upstairs and one downstairs, I've never had an issue with them. One of them I've had for about 2 years now.

The smell does dissipate rather quickly.

I've had many of these beds over the years. Certainly never noticed any ill effect from them.

We've used them also and never had issues.

I think the issue with cedar has more to do with small animals (hamsters etc) and birds. I've used cedar chips for years and my dogs and cats have never had a problem with them. Plus, they smell great... although the smell does dissipate rather quickly.

Been using cedar chips in the dogs houses and cedar beds for 25 years with no problems. It has kept away the fleas plus keeps the dogs smelling good.

Last summer was the first time I've had to use a flea preventive (frontline) in those 25 years and I have LOTS of dogs!!!!

I've got at least 10 of those beds up in my daycare playroom. The dogs love them and they are pretty well made. The cedar smell tends to go away after a few days. If your dog is a chewer and will get into the bed and ingest the stuffing, then any bed is a bad idea.
