Go to the thrift store and buy some large baby blankets (I prefer
the quilted ones) and use them to cover the dog bed so it is to
change and wash. Hopefully, your GSD won't take the blanket off.<br>
<br>
I have these blankets for the cat tower, her stool, and one for the
bed. The bed also has an extra flat sheet that goes over the
electric blanket so it can be regularly washed of cat hair. Sadly, I
am still catless at the moment and trying to hold off until the
painter gets done with the house.<br>

I used in the first one I made for her, but it\u2019s
still nice. It\u2019s not as soft, probably because it
has more bamboo fiber in it than kid hair, but on
the other hand it doesn\u2019t shed a lot and it\u2019s not
itchy. I hope she likes it.</span></p>
