FAQs
How do I clean the dog bed?
The Sherpa cover is machine washable at 30°C. The foam base and waterproof liner should be spot cleaned with a damp cloth only. Do not machine wash or submerge the foam.
Is this bed suitable for large dogs?
No, this specific model is a small size designed for small dog breeds. Please check the product dimensions to ensure it is appropriate for your pet.
How long does the orthopaedic support last?
The egg crate foam is designed to provide lasting support. However, with very heavy use, some compression may occur over extended periods.
Can the waterproof liner be removed?
The waterproof liner is integrated into the foam base and is not a separate, removable component. It serves as a protective layer for the foam.
Will the non-slip base work on all floor types?
The non-slip base is designed to grip most common indoor floor surfaces, including hardwood, tile, and laminate. Performance may vary on very smooth or textured carpets.
What is the purpose of the Sherpa fabric?
The Sherpa fabric is chosen for its softness and warmth, designed to mimic the comforting feel of a mother's fur, providing a cozy sleeping experience for your dog.
Troubleshooting
Bed does not expand fully
Allow additional time for expansion, up to 24 hours in a warm environment. Ensure it is not compressed by heavy objects.
Cover does not fit properly
Ensure the foam base is fully expanded and correctly oriented within the cover. Check that all zippers are fully closed.
Liquid seeps through to the floor
Verify that the waterproof membrane is intact and that the cover is fully zipped. For heavy soiling, ensure the entire bed is not saturated.
Dog is chewing the bed
This bed is not designed as a chew toy. If your dog is a persistent chewer, supervision is recommended. Provide appropriate chew toys.
