Product Information

Full details

The Paws for Slumber Orthopaedic Pet Bed by Slumberdown is designed for aging, arthritic, or injured pets needing enhanced joint and muscle support. Its key benefit is providing a comfortable, pressure-relieving sleep surface that aids in easing aches and pains. A potential caveat is that the washing instructions require cool machine wash and hang dry, which may not be as convenient as high-heat drying for some users. This bed features an edge-to-edge supportive pad, a comfortable and durable design, a non-slip base, and a removable, machine-washable cover.

FAQs

What makes this bed 'orthopaedic'?

The bed features an 'edge-to-edge supportive pad' designed to help distribute weight evenly and reduce pressure points on muscles and joints, which is beneficial for pets with arthritis or other mobility issues.

How do I clean the Paws for Slumber Orthopaedic Pet Bed?

The soft, removable cover is machine washable at 40 degrees Celsius (cool wash). It should be hung out to dry; do not tumble dry. The inner pad can be spot cleaned with a damp cloth.

Is this bed suitable for puppies?

While designed for aging or injured pets, its supportive qualities can benefit any dog. However, if your puppy is prone to chewing, supervision is recommended as they may damage the material.

Does the non-slip base work on all floor types?

The non-slip base provides enhanced grip on most common indoor floor surfaces. For extremely slippery surfaces, consider placing the bed on a rug or mat for extra stability.

Can I wash the inner orthopaedic pad?

The inner orthopaedic pad is not designed to be machine washed. It should be spot cleaned with a damp cloth. Ensure it is completely dry before placing it back in the cover.

What are the dimensions of the bed?

Please refer to the product listing or packaging for specific dimensions. It is important to choose a size that allows your pet to stretch out fully.

How durable is the cover?

The cover is made from durable fabric designed for regular use and washing. However, it may not withstand persistent chewing or scratching from pets who are destructive.

Troubleshooting

Bed cover won't zip closed

Ensure the orthopaedic pad is correctly positioned inside the cover and there are no obstructions. Gently align the zipper and try again.

Bed slides on the floor

Ensure the non-slip base is clean and dry. Place the bed on a smooth, dry floor surface to maximise grip.

Pet is not using the bed

Introduce the bed gradually. Place familiar blankets or toys on it. Ensure the location is quiet and safe. Consider a size that feels snug and secure for your pet.

Cover has persistent stains

Pre-treat stains before washing the cover according to the care instructions. For stubborn issues, a gentle upholstery cleaner suitable for pet fabrics may be used on the cover (test in an inconspicuous area first).
