Full details
The P&L Country Dog Beds Large Oval Waterproof Softee Bed is designed for active dogs that frequently get wet and muddy. Its key benefit is the durable, waterproof material that's easy to clean, ensuring a comfortable and hygienic resting place. A minor caveat is that while the cover is waterproof, the internal filling may take longer to dry if saturated. This bed features rigid sides and a thick, removable base cushion, both filled with thermal polyester fiber to insulate your dog from cold floors and drafts.

FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of the Large bed?
The P&L Country Dog Beds Large Oval Waterproof Softee Bed measures approximately L76cm x W64cm x H24cm. The base cushion is approximately 8cm thick.
Is the entire bed machine washable?
No, the main bed is not machine washable. It is designed to be wiped clean and rinsed. The removable base cushion can often be cleaned separately, but check its specific care label if available.
How effective is the waterproofing?
The bed is covered in a heavy-duty, 100% polyester waterproof material treated with a water-repellent coating, making it ideal for wet and muddy dogs. It effectively prevents liquids from soaking through to the floor.
Will the filling clump or go flat?
The bed is filled with bonded Thermal Polyester Fibre, which is designed to be non-clumping and provide excellent insulation. Regular fluffing of the cushion and sides will help maintain its loft.
Can I use a high-pressure washer to clean it?
It is recommended to use a low setting on a pressure washer if necessary. High pressure could potentially damage the fabric or seams.
What is the warranty period for this dog bed?
The bed comes with a 1-year guarantee against manufacturing defects.
Is this bed suitable for outdoor use?
While the material is waterproof and durable, it is best suited for indoor use or sheltered outdoor areas. Prolonged exposure to harsh weather elements may reduce its lifespan.
Troubleshooting
Bed smells after pet use
Remove the base cushion and wipe down the entire bed with a damp cloth and a mild, pet-safe cleaning solution. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely. For stubborn odors, consider a specialized pet odor eliminator spray suitable for fabric.
Water pooling on the surface
Ensure the water-repellent coating is intact. If the coating has worn, cleaning with a damp cloth might be sufficient for light dirt, but heavy moisture may soak in. Re-waterproofing sprays designed for outdoor fabrics may help extend the life of the coating.
Bed does not hold its shape
Check that the base cushion is correctly inserted and that the side walls are properly stuffed. If the filling appears to have compacted, gently fluff it by hand to restore its shape and insulation properties.
Material appears worn or damaged
For minor scuffs, clean as usual. Significant tears or damage may compromise the waterproof properties and structural integrity. Contact the manufacturer if the damage is due to a defect within the warranty period.

Care Instructions:
- Daily Cleaning: Brush off loose dirt and debris.
- Spot Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and rinse.
- Deep Cleaning: Remove the base cushion. The cover can be rinsed under a tap, with a hose, or using a low-pressure setting on a pressure washer. Allow the bed and cushion to air dry completely before use. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying the main bed; the cushion cover may be washable according to its specific care label (if applicable).
