FAQs

How do I wash the P&L Country Dog Beds Orkney Tweed Oval Bed?

The entire bed is machine washable on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. The base cushion can be removed for separate washing. Always air dry and reshape while damp; do not tumble dry.

What are the internal dimensions of the Medium size bed?

The internal dimensions for the Medium size bed are approximately 61cm x 51cm, with a base cushion thickness of 7cm.

Is the Orkney Tweed material waterproof?

The Orkney Tweed is an upholstery-grade fabric, designed for durability and comfort. It is not inherently waterproof, though it can handle minor spills if wiped up quickly.

Can I wash the bed with the filling inside?

Yes, the bed is designed to be fully machine washable with the internal bonded thermal polyester fiber filling. The filling is specifically chosen to maintain its loft and shape after washing.

Will the bed keep my dog warm in a very cold room?

Yes, the high walls filled with thermal fiber and the thick base cushion are specifically designed to insulate your dog from cold floors and block drafts, providing significant warmth.

Are there any special care instructions for the tweed fabric?

For general maintenance, wipe the tweed with a slightly damp cloth to remove dust or light dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals. For more thorough cleaning, follow the machine washing instructions.

How much variation in size can I expect due to handcrafting?

Slight variations are a natural part of the handcrafted process in Yorkshire. While dimensions are provided, expect minor differences that reflect the authentic craftsmanship.

Troubleshooting

Bed does not return to full shape after unpacking.

Allow up to 48 hours for the filling to fully expand. Gently fluff the cushion and sides manually to encourage expansion.

Washing machine struggles to accommodate the bed.

For larger sizes, consider washing at a commercial launderette if your home machine is not sufficient. Alternatively, wash the cushion separately and spot clean the main bed.

Tweed fabric appears worn or snagged.

This is a characteristic of durable upholstery fabrics. For minor snags, try to gently tease them back into place. Avoid leaving the bed where it can be excessively chewed or scratched.

Base cushion is difficult to remove.

Ensure all seams are fully undone if there's a zipper closure. The cushion is designed to fit snugly for support; gentle wiggling should release it.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Unpack the bed and allow it to regain its full shape, as the filling may be compressed during shipping. Place the bed in your desired location. If your bed has a non-slip base option, ensure it is positioned correctly on the floor. The removable base cushion should be placed within the bed.

Compatibility: This bed is suitable for most dog breeds, with four sizes available to ensure a good fit. It is particularly well-suited for dogs who enjoy curling up or those who need extra warmth. It is best used indoors on floors that may be cold or draughty.

Care:

  1. Cushion Cleaning: The base cushion can be removed and machine washed separately. Use a gentle cycle with mild detergent.
  2. Full Bed Cleaning: The entire bed is machine washable. Use a gentle or wool cycle with a mild detergent. Ensure the washing machine has sufficient capacity for the size of the bed.
  3. Drying: Air dry the bed and cushion. Do not tumble dry. Reshape the bed and cushion while damp to help it maintain its form. Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach.
  4. Tweed Maintenance: For minor spills or debris on the tweed exterior, use a slightly damp cloth to wipe the area. Do not saturate the fabric.
