How Can I Help the Dog Bed Last Longer?

Updated on Oct 12, 2026

Protect the fill, clean the removable cover, and check the bed regularly. These habits can help preserve comfort and fabric condition without promising a fixed lifespan.

Practical maintenance

  • Wash the removable cover according to its label and refit it only when fully dry.
  • Keep foam fill dry; do not machine wash the cotton foam bed’s filling.
  • Redistribute loose fill when it settles and vary the bed’s orientation.
  • Inspect seams and the zipper, especially if your dog scratches or chews.
  • Replace a worn cover while the insert is still serviceable, matching the bed’s dimensions.

A spare cover lets you keep using a clean, dry cover during laundry. If filling is exposed or a closure is damaged, remove the bed from use until the problem is resolved. Follow the specific care instructions for foam, latex, or any other insert.
