Frequently Asked Questions
What size dog bed should I buy?
Measure your dog from nose to tail while they’re lying down, then add 15–20cm. If your dog likes to stretch out, choose a flat mattress. If they curl up, a box bed with raised sides will feel cosier and more secure.
What are the best toys for dogs that chew everything?
Heavy chewers do best with tough rubber toys, thick rope tugs and nylon or long-lasting chew bones made for strong jaws. Avoid soft plush toys for strong chewers, and always supervise play with any new toy.
Are memory foam beds good for dogs?
Yes. Memory foam moulds to your dog’s body and supports the joints, which makes it a great choice for older dogs, larger breeds and dogs with stiff joints.
How often should you wash a dog bed?
Wash your dog’s bed cover once a week, or every two weeks at most, to remove hair, dirt and odours. Choose a bed with a removable, machine-washable cover to make cleaning easier.
What’s a good Christmas gift for a dog?
A new bed, a durable squeaky toy or a treat-dispensing toy all make great Christmas presents for dogs. Pair one with a long-lasting chew to keep them busy while the family opens their own presents.
