Chewing is very normal for puppies but if he eats his bed, he could end up with an intestinal blockage which requires surgery or it could be fatal. Here is a link about chewing: https://www.petcoach.co/article/chewing-in-puppies-how-to-control-it/ Some puppies will chew no matter what, although it sounds mean, for those puppies, I recommend to remove the bed completely if they keep shedding it. Some puppies can have it at night. Some can't. Some beds are also more chew resistant than others. I hope this helps.

I would recommend making sure that Rylee has a good amount of exercise during her most hyper part of the day. Most dogs that chew on materials is due to mild anxiety and lots of unused energy. Also you could try to replace the bed with something he can chew on when you see this type of behavior. I hope that helps
