FAQs
How do I choose the right size bed for my dog?
Measure your dog from nose to tail while they are in their natural sleeping position. Compare this to the internal dimensions provided for each bed size (Intermediate, Medium, Large, Jumbo) to ensure a comfortable fit. Allow extra space if your dog likes to stretch out.
Is the entire bed machine washable?
No, only the outer cover is designed to be removed and machine washed. The inner cushion and bolsters are not typically removable and should be spot cleaned or aired out.
What are the internal dimensions of each size?
Internal measurements are approximate: Intermediate (51cm L x 41cm W x 20cm H), Medium (61cm L x 51cm W x 22cm H), Large (76cm L x 64cm W x 24cm H), and Jumbo (90cm L x 74cm W x 25cm H). Please note slight variations can occur due to handmade craftsmanship.
Is this bed suitable for outdoor use?
While the Orkney tweed is hardwearing, the bed is designed primarily for indoor use. Prolonged exposure to moisture or harsh weather conditions is not recommended.
Will the Sherpa fleece lining be too hot for my dog?
The Sherpa fleece provides warmth, making it excellent for cooler environments. For dogs that tend to overheat easily or for use in very hot climates, closely monitor your dog's comfort level.
How durable is the Orkney tweed fabric?
Orkney tweed is known for its robustness and resistance to wear and tear, making it a suitable choice for active dogs or those who tend to scratch or dig at their beds.
What makes the drop-front design beneficial?
The lower front section of the bolster bed makes it easier for dogs with mobility issues, such as older dogs or puppies, to enter and exit the bed without strain.
Troubleshooting
Bed cover not fitting after washing
Ensure the cover was not over-dried in the tumble dryer. Re-shape the cover while damp and allow it to air dry completely.
Dog seems reluctant to use the bed
Encourage use with treats or a favourite toy. Ensure the bed is placed in a location the dog feels safe and comfortable in. Some dogs may need time to adjust to a new bed.
Minor dirt or stains on the main bed body
Use a damp cloth with mild soap to gently clean the affected area. Avoid saturating the fabric and allow it to dry thoroughly.
Bed does not seem as plush after initial use
The filling may have settled. Gently fluff the cushion and bolsters by hand to restore loft and comfort.
