How to Wash Your Dog Bed Cover or Cat Bed Cover
Keeping your pet's bed fresh and clean is simple with our machine washable dog bed covers. For best results, remove the filling from the cover and pop it in your washing machine at 30-40°C with a mild detergent. Our 100% cotton canvas covers are durable enough for regular washing, so you can maintain a hygienic sleeping space for your dog or cat without worry. Our covers work beautifully with upcycled fills—simply stuff them with old pillows, blankets, or clothing from your home to create a sustainable dog bed.
For stubborn stains or odours, pre-treat the affected area before washing (because let's face it, pets have a talent for finding the muddiest spots), and always air dry or tumble dry on low heat to preserve the fabric's quality and vibrant patterns. Remember—do not use bleach (or products with bleach additives) and don't leave the cover sitting in the washer for extended periods after the cycle finishes.
We recommend washing your pet bed cover every 1-2 weeks, or more frequently if your furry friend spends a lot of time outdoors. Regular washing of your dog or cat bed cover not only keeps your home smelling fresh but also helps reduce allergens, dirt, and bacteria that pets naturally bring into their beds. The durable cotton fabric maintains its softness and integrity wash after wash, ensuring your pet always has a comfortable, clean place to rest. Whether you're refreshing a dog bed duvet cover or a cat bed cover, our sustainable designs make it easy to create a healthy environment for your four-legged companion.
Why Choose Cotton Dog Bed Covers
Most pet beds use synthetic fillings and fabrics that trap heat, harbour bacteria, and are made with chemicals you'd rather not think about. Our 100% cotton canvas is different — naturally breathable, hypoallergenic, and certified non-toxic, so your dog or cat is sleeping on something genuinely safe. Cotton also gets softer with every wash, making it a long-lasting, responsible choice for your pet and your home.
What Dog Bed Cover Size Do I Need
Selecting the proper size dog bed cover ensures your dog or cat enjoys maximum comfort and support—think of it as choosing the perfect mattress, but for your pet. Start by measuring your current dog or cat bed's dimensions (length and width), and choose a cover that matches these measurements for a snug, secure fit. If you're replacing an old duvet or creating a new bed, consider your dog's sleeping style: does your pup stretch out like a starfish or curl up into a neat little ball? Dogs that sprawl need more space, those who curl up can be comfortable in slightly smaller beds.
Our bed covers are designed to fit standard pet bed inserts, and the durable, preshrunk cotton means they'll maintain their size and shape even after multiple washes. For cats or small dogs, our smaller covers provide the perfect cosy retreat (ideal for those marathon napping sessions), and larger breeds benefit from our generous sizing options. Remember, a well-fitted cover not only looks better but also stays in place, preventing bunching or slipping that can disrupt your pet's sleep—and we all know a well-rested pet is a happy pet. If you're unsure between sizes, we recommend sizing up to ensure your furry companion has plenty of room to sprawl, stretch, and dream about chasing squirrels.
