About

Leads our bench tests for dog beds, designing repeatable wash-and-wear protocols and translating data into comparison-ready picks.

Core Beliefs

If a bed can’t keep its shape and clean easily, it’s not a long-term fit—no matter the marketing.

Background

After our husky mix turned a 'heavy-duty' bed lumpy in two weeks, I built a 200-cycle wash-and-measure test. Seams split, foams warped, and claims fell apart. The few beds that kept shape and dried fast changed our nights—and our criteria. Now I trust numbers more than labels.

Perspective

I favor beds with replaceable covers, fast-drying materials, and proven seam integrity.
