Full details

The Slumberdown Orthopaedic Pet Bed is designed for dogs needing extra joint support, providing a comfortable and secure haven for restful sleep. Its key benefit is the orthopaedic filling that cradles joints, offering relief for older dogs or those with mobility issues. A minor consideration is the need for regular washing to maintain freshness, though the removable covers simplify this process. Key features include edge-to-edge support, calming fabric, and a washable cover.

FAQs

What makes this bed 'orthopaedic'?

The bed uses a specially designed orthopaedic filling that provides dense, supportive cushioning to help relieve pressure on your dog's joints and muscles.

Is the entire bed machine washable?

No, only the outer cover is machine washable. The inner orthopaedic filling should not be washed and requires spot cleaning only.

How do I ensure I buy the right size?

Measure your dog from nose to tail while they are lying down and add 10-15 cm to determine the minimum length needed. Refer to the size guide for specific dimensions.

Will the bed sag over time?

The bed is designed with edge-to-edge support to prevent sagging in the middle or at the edges, ensuring long-lasting comfort.

Is this bed suitable for puppies?

While suitable for all ages, its primary benefit is for dogs needing joint support. Puppies may prefer softer beds unless they have specific medical needs.

How quickly does the cover dry?

The covers are made from fast-drying materials, designed to be hung out to dry relatively quickly after washing.

Can I buy replacement covers?

Please check the Slumberdown website or contact their customer service for information on purchasing replacement covers.

Troubleshooting

Bed cover won't zip closed easily

Ensure the orthopaedic filling is evenly distributed inside the cover and not bunched up near the zipper track.

Dog seems hesitant to use the bed

Encourage your dog with treats or praise. Sometimes dogs need time to adjust to a new bed. Ensure the bed is placed in a preferred resting spot.

Filling seems flat or unsupportive

Allow the bed sufficient time to decompress after unpacking. If the issue persists after a few days, contact customer support.

Cover has an odor after washing

Ensure the cover is completely dry before re-covering the bed. You may need to air it out further or wash it again on a gentle cycle.
