How often should I wash my dog’s bed?

Most dogs benefit from having their bed or its removable cover washed every 2–4 weeks. For dogs with allergies, heavy shedding or very active outdoor lifestyles, washing weekly and vacuuming between washes helps keep the sleeping area hygienic and odour-free.

Can I put an Earthbound dog bed in the washing machine?

Many Earthbound dog bed covers and crate mats are machine-washable at 30°C on a gentle spin cycle. Always remove inner cushions or fillers first and follow the care label for the specific product, avoiding bleach and high-heat tumble drying to protect the fabrics and filling.

What is the best fabric for a washable dog bed?

Durable fabrics such as tweed, woven upholstery textiles, sherpa fleece and waterproof polyester perform well when washed according to their care instructions. Tweed and woven fabrics offer a tailored, interior-friendly look, sherpa adds extra warmth, and waterproof materials are ideal for muddy walks and car use.

Which Earthbound bed is best for puppies?

For puppies, it is best to choose a washable bed with removable covers and practical fabrics such as waterproof or durable tweed. Round or donut beds can help puppies feel secure, while crate mats are useful for crate training and travel. Layering a washable sherpa blanket on top adds extra comfort and makes quick clean-ups easier.

How can I make my dog’s bed last longer?

To extend the life of a washable dog bed, shake and plump it regularly, vacuum away grit and hair, wash covers according to the care label, and rotate between two beds or spare covers where possible. Using a washable blanket on top helps protect the main bed fabric from everyday wear.

What makes a dog bed truly washable

Not every washable dog bed is created equal. When you choose a bed that will remain attractive and supportive in the long term it helps to focus on a few essentials.

Removable washable covers

A quality washable dog bed features a cover that can be removed with ease. This protects the filling and allows you to wash the outer fabric at a gentle temperature while maintaining its appearance.

Supportive long lasting filling

Earthbound beds use thermal bonded fibres and premium hollow fill that retain their loft and structure even after repeated care. This prevents the bed from flattening and helps your dog rest comfortably.

High quality practical fabrics

Materials such as tweed sherpa weave and waterproof textiles provide a reliable balance of softness strength and easy care. They suit busy homes active dogs and a wide variety of interior styles.

Water resistant and protective bases

Many Earthbound beds and crate mats include a base that resists moisture which helps protect floors rooms and vehicles while making care even easier.
