MAXX Pet Bed Camo: Sizes, Specs and Buying Guide

The MAXX pet bed in camo is MidWest Homes for Pets’ QuietTime MAXX Ultra-Rugged bed, a bolstered crate bed with a water-resistant polyester cover, sold in five sizes from 24 to 48 inches. This guide is based on the manufacturer’s published specifications and category standards rather than hands-on testing, so the sizes, weights and care details below come from MidWest’s own product page and published veterinary-club guidance.

The most useful thing to know before ordering is that the size name is the crate it fits, not the bed’s length. A “24-inch” MAXX bed is about 22.5 inches long. Getting that right, and understanding what “ultra-rugged” does and does not mean, covers most buying mistakes.

What Is the MAXX Pet Bed Camo?

According to MidWest’s QuietTime MAXX product page, as of October 2026, the bed is made with “a water resistant, stain resistant and odor resistant polyester fabric.” It has:

• Overstuffed polyfiber-filled bolsters around the edges and a cushioned base
• A “non-slip grip” bottom intended to stop it sliding on hardwood and tile floors
• Machine-washable and dryer-safe construction
• Four colours: camo, black, brick and green
• Five sizes: 24, 30, 36, 42 and 48 inches

MidWest also says the fabric repels coat oils and dirt so the bed “looks and feels new longer.” The camo version uses the same construction and dimensions as the solid colours, so choosing camo is purely a matter of looks.

MidWest does not sell the bed directly from its product page. It points buyers to retailers, which is why prices vary widely between stores.

Which MAXX Bed Size Fits Your Dog and Crate?

MidWest publishes the actual bed dimensions and a recommended dog weight range for each size. For the camo version, they are:

• 24-inch: 22.45 x 17.33 x 2.25 inches, for small dogs from 11 to 25 lb
• 30-inch: 29.26 x 19.85 x 2.76 inches, for medium dogs from 26 to 40 lb
• 36-inch: 35 x 23.23 x 2.56 inches, for intermediate dogs from 41 to 70 lb
• 42-inch: 40.71 x 27.25 x 2.76 inches, for large dogs from 71 to 90 lb
• 48-inch: 46.07 x 28 x 3.82 inches, for extra-large dogs from 91 to 110 lb

Each bed is a little shorter and narrower than its size name so that it fits inside a crate of that length. A common mistake is to buy a “36-inch” bed for a 36-inch gap beside a sofa and find it is only 35 inches long and 23 inches wide.

Retailer listings do not always match these figures. Petco, for example, titles its largest camo listing as 48.5 by 31 inches, while MidWest lists the 48-inch bed at 46.07 by 28. If the exact fit matters, use the manufacturer’s numbers, measure the inside of your crate, and choose the size whose length and width are both smaller than the interior.

Weight is a guide, not a rule. A long, lean dog near the top of a weight band may need the next size up to stretch out, while a compact dog that curls up may be fine in the smaller one.

Is the MAXX Pet Bed Chew Proof?

No, and MidWest says so directly. Its product page states that the MAXX bed “is not ‘chew proof’,” but is more durable and “will hold up longer than most cotton/ polyester fabric blended pet beds.” “Ultra-rugged” describes the tougher cover fabric, not resistance to a dog set on destroying it.

That matters because bed filling is a real hazard for dogs that chew, since swallowed stuffing can cause a blockage. The American Kennel Club’s crate training guide advises caution with beds and blankets in a crate, saying it is “best to wait until your dog consistently doesn’t have accidents or shred fabric” before adding them. If your dog has started pulling at seams or corners, take the bed out of the crate when you are not there to supervise, and call your vet promptly if you think your dog has eaten filling.

For a puppy or a known chewer, a bare crate or a purpose-built chew-resistant crate pad is often safer until the habit settles. The MAXX bed suits dogs that dig, scratch or drool more than dogs that shred.

Should You Put a Bed in the Crate During Potty Training?

Sometimes it is better not to, at least for a while. The American Kennel Club’s guidance on puppies that keep going potty in the crate suggests that if accidents continue, you should “consider removing any bedding.” The AKC explains that some dogs learn they can soil the crate and cover the mess with their bedding, and some puppies prefer to relieve themselves on something soft.

The MAXX bed’s water-resistant cover makes cleanup easier, but it does not solve that training problem. A sensible order is to get crate habits right first, then add the bed once your dog is reliably clean in the crate.

How Do You Wash the MAXX Pet Bed?

MidWest describes the MAXX bed as machine washable and dryer safe.

A few general habits help a water-resistant bed last:

• Follow the care label on your bed, since retailers give slightly different instructions.
• Shake out hair and debris first so it does not clump in the filling.
• Use a gentle cycle and cold water, and avoid bleach on the coated fabric.
• Check that the filling is fully dry before putting the bed back in a crate.

The larger 42 and 48-inch beds are bulky. If your home machine struggles with them, a laundromat’s large-capacity washer is the easier option.

Who Is the MAXX Pet Bed Camo Best For?

On its published specifications, it suits owners who want a crate bed that handles muddy paws, drool and the occasional spill, and whose dogs dig or scratch at their bedding without tearing it apart. The non-slip base also makes it a reasonable floor bed on hardwood or tile.

It is a weaker fit for heavy chewers, for puppies still learning crate habits, and for older dogs that need thick orthopaedic support, since even the largest size is under 4 inches tall.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size MAXX pet bed camo should I buy?

Choose by crate size and dog weight. MidWest rates the 24-inch bed for 11 to 25 lb dogs, 30-inch for 26 to 40 lb, 36-inch for 41 to 70 lb, 42-inch for 71 to 90 lb, and 48-inch for 91 to 110 lb. Measure the inside of your crate before ordering.

Is the MAXX pet bed waterproof?

MidWest describes the polyester cover as water resistant, stain resistant and odor resistant, not waterproof. It helps with spills, drool and wet paws, but soaking it repeatedly can still wet the filling.

Is the camo MAXX bed the same as the other colours?

Yes. MidWest lists identical dimensions and dog weight ranges for camo, black, brick and green in every size.

Is it true that “ultra-rugged” means chew proof?

No. MidWest states the MAXX bed is not chew proof. It is designed to outlast typical cotton and polyester blend beds, but a determined chewer can still reach the filling, which can be dangerous if swallowed.

Can you put the MAXX pet bed in the dryer?

Yes. MidWest describes the bed as machine washable and dryer safe. Follow the care label, and make sure the filling is completely dry before returning it to the crate.

Does the MAXX bed fit a MidWest crate?

MidWest says the beds fit inside most standard dog crates, and each bed is sized slightly smaller than its crate size. A 36-inch bed, for example, measures 35 by 23.23 inches.

Final Thoughts

The MAXX pet bed camo is MidWest’s QuietTime MAXX Ultra-Rugged crate bed, with a water-resistant polyester cover, polyfiber bolsters and a non-slip base, in five sizes from 24 to 48 inches. On paper, it is a sensible bed for dogs that bring in mud and drool, as long as they do not chew.

Pick the size by your crate’s interior and your dog’s weight, using MidWest’s own dimensions rather than retailer titles. Keep it out of the crate for puppies still potty training or dogs that shred bedding, and check the seams regularly for wear.
