ABSTRACT:
An animal bed is disclosed which is resistant to damage and infiltration by pests. It is formed of a resilient core having generally a slab shape and, surrounding and encasing the core, a cover formed of at least an aramid fabric sheet. In a preferred form, the cover is a laminate made of the aramid fabric sheet with a polyester fabric sheet laminated to it. Preferably these materials are respectively a KEVLAR.RTM. aramid sheet and a MYLAR.RTM. polyester sheet. The core of the bed is preferably made of resilient polymeric foam, rubber, fiber fill, wood shavings or wood chips, of which the foam or rubber is preferred. A soft cloth coverlet can be used to cover the entire bed if desired. The bed of this invention is highly resistant to destructive activities of the animal, such as biting or clawing. It is also impervious to water and to pest infestation. It can be easily cleaned and is portable. Uses include beds for show dogs and hunting dogs, and as whelping beds.
