How to Keep Your Dog's Bed Looking Good for Longer

Your dog's bed gets used every single day.

That means dirt, hair, dust and general wear are inevitable.

Fortunately, a few simple habits can help you get more from your dog's bedding.

Regularly remove loose hair

Don't wait until the bed is completely covered in hair.

Regularly removing loose hair can make cleaning easier and prevent buildup.

Use removable covers where possible

A removable cover can make maintenance considerably simpler.

The Wagit Luxury Corduroy Square Bed with Removable Cover and Wagit Luxury Corduroy Round Bed with Removable Cover are designed with removable covers.

The Wagit Round Bed with Removable Cover is another practical option.

Keep muddy paws away from the bed

If your dog has been outside in wet or muddy conditions, giving their paws a quick clean before they settle down can help reduce the amount of dirt transferred onto their bedding.

Add a blanket

A dog blanket can provide an additional layer between your dog and their bed.

The Snugs Sherpa Blanket, Wagit Mangolion Fleece Blanket and Fleece Dog Blanket can be used on or around your dog's sleeping area.

Follow the care instructions

Different products require different cleaning methods.

Always follow the manufacturer's care instructions rather than assuming every dog bed can be washed in the same way.

Check the bed regularly

Cleaning isn't the only form of maintenance.

Check for damaged fabric, loose stitching or other signs of wear.

Keeping on top of small problems can help you identify when a product needs attention or replacement.

Make maintenance part of your routine

A few minutes of regular care can make looking after your dog's sleeping area much easier.
