FAQs

Is this bed suitable for large dogs?

No, this specific variant is the 'Small' size and is designed for small dog breeds. Silentnight offers this orthopaedic pet bed in various sizes, so check for medium or large options if you have a bigger dog.

How do I clean the bed?

The outer cover is removable and machine washable. Zip the cover closed before washing and use a low heat setting. Do not tumble dry; air dry only. The inner foam should be spot cleaned only.

My dog has arthritis. Will this bed truly help?

Yes, this bed is specifically designed with a contoured egg-crate foam layer to provide orthopaedic support, distribute weight evenly, and reduce pressure points. Many users find it significantly helps alleviate discomfort for dogs with arthritis or joint pain.

What is the warranty period for this pet bed?

Info needed: The product description states both a '2 year manufacturer's guarantee' and a '12-month manufacturer's guarantee'. Please clarify the exact warranty period for this product.

Can this bed be used outdoors?

This pet bed is designed for indoor use. Exposure to outdoor elements like rain or direct sunlight can damage the materials and foam.

What makes the 'egg-crate foam' beneficial?

The egg-crate foam design creates peaks and valleys that conform to your pet's body, providing superior pressure relief by distributing weight more evenly. This promotes better circulation and reduces stress on joints, which is especially beneficial for older or arthritic pets.

Troubleshooting

Pet is not using the new bed.

Place a familiar blanket or favourite toy on the bed. Encourage positive associations with treats and praise. Ensure the bed is in a quiet, comfortable location. Give your pet time to adjust.

Bed seems to be sliding on the floor.

Ensure the non-slip base is clean and free of debris. Verify the bed is placed directly on a dry, flat surface. If on a rug, ensure the rug itself isn't prone to sliding.

Bed cover has a lingering odour after washing.

Ensure the cover was washed according to instructions (low heat, zipped closed) and thoroughly air-dried. You can try adding a pet-safe deodorizer to the wash or a second wash with a cup of white vinegar.

Foam insert appears flattened or not fully expanded.

Allow the foam up to 24-48 hours to fully expand after unpacking. If it still seems flat, gently massage the foam to help it regain its shape. Ensure it's not being stored under heavy objects.

Care Instructions

Regular care will extend the life and hygiene of your pet bed.

  • Cover Removal: Unzip the cover around the perimeter of the bed to remove it.
  • Machine Washing: Machine wash the removable cover on a low heat setting. It is crucial to zip the cover closed before washing to protect the zipper and fabric.
  • Drying: DO NOT tumble dry the cover. Air dry flat or hang dry. Tumble drying can damage the fabric and backing.
  • Inner Foam: The inner foam core should not be washed. If it becomes soiled, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild pet-safe detergent, then air dry completely.
  • Regular Maintenance: Vacuum the bed regularly to remove pet hair and dander. Address spills or accidents promptly to prevent stains and odours. Ensure the bed is completely dry before reassembly to prevent mould or mildew.
