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

Is the Orkney Tweed material waterproof?

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.
