Guest DragonflyDM Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 OK... how doyou keep your beds clean? My dog chews his bones on the bed and it is filthy. I need to clean-- but when you do, the covers never seem to fit back on right or you didn't clean the foam, --- something.. I just want good, hose it down and ready to use again bed.

Guest maidmarcia Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I use Costco beds and pile blankets on top of them. I find that the dog beds up here in Canada are SUPER expensive. A large sized dog bed at Pet Value can be over $100. With the wear and tear that they sustain, it doesn't seem worth spending that much money on one bed.

Could you encourage him to eat his treats somewhere else? Like on a blanket or towel? The Victoria Peak beds (pictured above) are great to wash. The cover comes off and goes back on easily and the inner cover could be washed too if necessary. You would just have to take the “fluff” out and put it somewhere while the inner cover was being washed. Quote Jerilyn, missing Lila (Good Looking), new Mistress to Wiki (PJ Wicked).

Guest greygirls2 Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I use old baby brib matresses and cover with comforters and soft blankets I buy cheap in thrift stores and of course they have their pillows. They never go flat, they're nice and roomy plus waterproof so they stay fresh and clean, no dust mites either. Then I just wash the comforters and pillows to keep everything fresh once a month or so. Best of all you can always find them free at yard sales and they're almost always good brands like Sealy. I have 4 of them and my dogs just love them!

I will have a wading pool for Bobby on the hot days, hope he uses it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SparrowLake Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I have never seen the pod-beds before. I wonder if they are available to purchase in Canada? How much are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kess Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I have never seen the pod-beds before. I wonder if they are available to purchase in Canada? How much are they? I have seen pod beds in pet stores, didn't look at the price but I used to have a dog that wouldn't sleep in her insulated kennel at night, she would sleep between the car and the roller door. I think she wanted to protect the property, I ended up buying a kids wading pool and put blankets in it for her to sleep in at night to keep her out of the draft that came through the side gate. During the day she always liked her kennel though. The wading pools are pretty cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sobesmom Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Ummm NOPE! I definately won't post pic's of my dogbeds because they're ROUGH! When I got my first grey, Sobe - I tried to buy all the "bling" - including expensive beds. He HATED them. A total nester - he had to have something to rearrange 15 times before he layed down, so I started putting blankets on top of his nice dogbeds. He'd nest the blankets off the dogbed and lie on them, beside the dogbed. Through our fostering experiences, with 2 greys of our own, I've needed a couple dogbeds in the livingroom, 2 or 3 in the bedroom, and a couple others around the house. I've decided to go with discarded bedcomforters for all of them. I also sewed a couple "sleves" stuffed with 3 pillows. All greys love them. BTW - my fancy dogbeds are still around, barely used. 15 fosters, 2 greys of my own, 7 years, and the 2 original "super nice expensive dogbeds" - are in my closet. I can't tell you how many of my family's old comforters and Goodwill comforters, and used pillows stuffed into my "sleves" we've been through that have been nested, and loved to death! My dogbeds are totally ugly. Heck - we've had a Dora comforter beside a purple floral before. But the dogs just love them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
