None of the dogs will jump onto the bed as it's too high for them. Bitsy sometimes sleeps in bed with us and sometimes not, but we have to put her up there. As for the cats we always had Roxy in bed with us before she passed away, after that we slept in a kitty free bed for a few months . Now Oliver sleeps with us at night . During the day is a different story, the cats love to nap on the bed.
