FAQs
What size dogs is this 'Small' bed suitable for?
This bed is ideal for small dog breeds, puppies, and cats. Always check the bed's dimensions against your pet's size to ensure they can lie down comfortably and fully stretch out if desired.
How do I clean the Silentnight Orthopaedic Pet Bed?
The outer cover is removable and machine washable. Unzip and remove the cover, then wash it on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Air dry completely. The foam insert can be spot cleaned as needed.
Is this bed suitable for older dogs with joint issues?
Yes, absolutely. This bed is specifically designed with orthopaedic egg crate foam to provide support and pressure relief, making it highly beneficial for older dogs or those suffering from arthritis and joint pain.
Does the bed come with a warranty?
Yes, the Silentnight Orthopaedic Pet Bed comes with a 12-month manufacturer's guarantee against defects.
Can I use this bed inside a dog crate?
You can use this bed in a dog crate, provided the crate is appropriately sized to accommodate the bed. Always measure your crate and the bed's dimensions to ensure a proper fit.
What is 'egg crate foam' and how does it help?
Egg crate foam has a unique convoluted surface that helps to distribute your pet's weight evenly across the bed. This design reduces pressure points on joints and muscles, providing enhanced comfort and therapeutic support for pets with aches and pains.
Will the non-slip base work on all types of flooring?
The non-slip base is designed to provide stability on most hard, flat floor surfaces like wood, tile, and laminate. For optimal performance, ensure both the base and the floor are clean and dry.
Troubleshooting
My pet isn't using the new bed.
Introduce the bed gradually. Place a familiar blanket or toy on the bed. You can also place the bed in a quiet, low-traffic area where your pet already feels safe.
The cover is difficult to remove or put back on.
Ensure the foam insert is fully compressed when zipping or unzipping. Take your time and align the zipper teeth carefully to avoid snags or damage. Gently push the foam away from the zipper as you close it.
The bed slides on the floor.
Check that the non-slip base is clean and free of dust or pet hair. Ensure the floor surface is also clean and dry. On very slippery surfaces, a thin rug pad beneath the bed can provide extra grip.
The bed retains an odor after washing.
Ensure the cover is completely dry before putting it back on the foam. Any residual dampness can lead to mildew or odors. If the foam itself has an odor, try sprinkling baking soda on it, letting it sit for a few hours, and then vacuuming it off.
