FAQs
What are the dimensions of the Medium size bed?
The Medium size bed measures approximately L 57 cm X W 47 cm X H 24 cm, with a base cushion thickness of 8 cm.
Is the entire bed machine washable?
No, the entire bed is not machine washable. The waterproof exterior should be wiped clean. The base cushion is removable for separate cleaning, typically best done with a damp cloth and mild soap, ensuring it is fully dried afterwards.
How do I clean muddy paw prints off the bed?
Muddy prints can usually be wiped away with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution on the cloth, then wipe with a clean damp cloth to remove residue. Allow to air dry completely.
Is this bed suitable for very old dogs with joint issues?
Yes, the thick, well-stuffed base cushion and supportive walls are designed to provide comfort and insulation, which can be beneficial for older dogs with joint pain.
How durable is the waterproof material?
The bed is covered in a hard-wearing 100% polyester waterproof material treated with a water-repellent coating, designed for durability against regular use, including by wet or dirty pets.
Can this bed withstand chewing?
While the materials are durable and hard-wearing, this bed is not designed to be chew-proof. Pets that are prone to destructive chewing may damage the fabric.
Does the filling clump over time?
The bed is filled with bonded Thermal Polyester Fibre, which is specifically chosen to resist clumping and provide superb, lasting insulation.
Troubleshooting
Bed smells after pet use
Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure the removable cushion is also cleaned and thoroughly dried. Regular cleaning prevents odour build-up.
Water is soaking through the material
Check for any tears or damage to the waterproof coating. Small punctures can compromise water resistance. Minor scuffs can be addressed with appropriate fabric repair or sealant if compatible, though replacement might be necessary for significant damage.
Cushion flattening over time
The bonded Thermal Polyester Fibre is designed to resist clumping. Gently fluff the cushion periodically. If significant flattening occurs, it may indicate the filling has compacted, and professional cleaning or replacement of the filling might be considered, though this is uncommon with quality construction.
Pet seems uncomfortable with the rigid sides
Encourage your pet to use the bed with familiar blankets or toys. Allow them time to adjust. If the pet consistently avoids the bed, consider if the size is appropriate or if a less structured bed might be a better fit for their preferences.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
- Wipe Clean Exterior: Use a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary to clean the waterproof material. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry.
- Removable Cushion: Remove the base cushion for separate cleaning. It can often be wiped down similarly to the exterior. For deeper cleaning, check for specific washability instructions if available on the product tag, but generally, a damp cloth is recommended.
- Drying: Ensure the bed and cushion are completely dry before reassembling or allowing your pet to use it to prevent mildew.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the waterproof coating.
