VERZEY 36-Inch Dog Crate Pad: Comfortable Enough for a 70-Pound Dog?
This is a 36 by 23 inch dog crate pad from VERZEY, finished in gray with an ultra-soft faux fur surface and an anti-slip bottom, built to fit inside a standard wire dog crate for medium-size dogs. The listing specifically sizes it for dogs weighing 40 to 70 pounds, naming breeds like Beagle, Bulldog, and Australian cattle dog as examples, and beyond crate use it’s also marketed as a general kennel bed, cage bed, dog pillow, or cushion for any spot you want your dog comfortable, indoors or outdoors, across all seasons.
Who I’d recommend this to
I’d recommend this to anyone with a medium-size dog in the 40 to 70 pound range who wants a soft, washable pad to line a wire crate rather than leaving the dog on the bare metal crate floor. It’s also a reasonable pick if you want one pad that can move between a crate, a cage, or just as a floor cushion in different rooms, since the listing specifically markets it for all of those uses. If your dog is notably smaller or larger than the 40 to 70 pound range the listing calls out, I’d size up or down to a different pad rather than assume this one will fit your crate and dog correctly.
What stands out
- 36 x 23 inch pad sized for dogs weighing 40 to 70 pounds, per the listing’s own breed examples
- Ultra-soft faux fur surface described as comfortable and joint-friendly for sleeping
- Machine washable on a moderate cycle and dryer-safe on low temperature
- Anti-slip bottom designed to keep the pad in place inside a wire crate
What to know before buying
At 36 by 23 inches, this pad is built to match the footprint of a standard medium wire crate rather than a small or extra-large one, so I’d measure your own crate’s interior floor dimensions before ordering to confirm a reasonable fit. The listing’s own breed examples, Beagle, Bulldog, and Australian cattle dog, give a useful real-world sense of the 40 to 70 pound range it’s aimed at, which helps size against your own dog even without an exact weight limit stated beyond that range. The anti-slip bottom is meant to keep the pad from sliding around inside the crate as your dog moves, settles, or climbs in and out.
Materials & care
The listing describes this as machine washable under a moderate cycle and safe to dry on low temperature, which is a genuine convenience for a pad that’s going to collect fur, dirt, and the occasional accident over time. I’d stick to that moderate wash and low-heat dry combination specifically, since faux fur fabric can mat, flatten, or lose its soft texture faster under hot water or high heat. The listing also recommends shaking and patting the pad after unboxing to help it fully regain its fluffiness, since it arrives compressed in a sealed package.
Where this sits in the category
Against leaving a dog directly on a bare wire or plastic crate tray, this faux fur pad adds a notable layer of cushioning that the listing specifically ties to easing anxiety and protecting joints. Against a pad without an anti-slip bottom, this one is built to actually stay in place inside the crate rather than bunching up or sliding every time the dog moves. Against a single-purpose crate pad, the listing’s multi-use framing, kennel bed, cage bed, pillow, or cushion, gives this one more flexibility to move between different spots in the house rather than being locked into crate use only.
Value for money
At $19.99 for a 36 by 23 inch washable, anti-slip crate pad, I think the price is reasonable for a medium dog bed replacement, especially given the machine washable, dryer-safe care instructions that make ongoing upkeep simple rather than a hassle.
What to look at instead
If your dog is outside the 40 to 70 pound range this pad is sized for, I’d look at VERZEY’s other size options or a different brand’s pad sized to your specific crate and dog. If you want a pad with a removable, zip-off cover rather than one washed as a whole piece, a different style of crate pad might suit your laundry routine better.
