All washable dog beds

Little essentials. Lots of love.

This page narrows our dog beds down to ones that are easy to keep clean: a four-sided washable bed, a plush crate bed around 35 by 23 inches, dog sofas and couch beds with washable cushions and removable covers for small and large dogs, a cooling gel memory foam bed with a washable cover, and a faux leather and fur mattress. It is for puppies, seniors, muddy dogs, heavy shedders and anyone who wants a bed that survives the laundry.

Fully washable or washable cover

Washable dog beds come in two kinds. A fully washable bed, such as a four-sided bolster bed or a crate pad, goes into the machine whole. A bed with a removable cover has an inner cushion or foam insert that stays out of the wash while the cover goes in.

Fully washable beds suit small and medium dogs and puppies who have accidents. Large beds and orthopedic foam beds are usually cover-washable, because a big foam slab will not fit in a home washer and foam should not be soaked.

Beds in this range

The four-sided washable bed has raised sides for dogs who like to lean. The plush crate bed fits standard crates and washes easily. Dog sofas and couch beds with washable cushions give a raised, furniture-style bed for small to large dogs, with zip-off covers.

The cooling gel memory foam bed supports joints and keeps a dog cooler, with a removable cover. A faux leather and fur mattress wipes clean on the leather side and offers a soft side for winter.

How often to wash a dog bed

Wash the cover every one to two weeks for most dogs, and weekly for heavy shedders, dogs with allergies, puppies and dogs that go outside a lot. Wash immediately after an accident, vomiting or a flea problem. Between washes, vacuum and shake the bed outdoors.

Regular washing removes hair, dander, dirt and odor, and it is one of the simplest ways to cut down on fleas and allergens in the home.

How to wash a dog bed

Vacuum or lint-roll loose hair first, so it does not clog your machine. Wash on a warm cycle with a mild, unscented detergent and an extra rinse, since dogs can react to detergent residue. Avoid fabric softener, which can irritate sensitive skin.

Tumble dry on low or air dry fully before putting the cover back; a damp bed grows mildew. For foam inserts, spot clean, sprinkle with baking soda, vacuum after an hour and air in sunlight.

Choosing the size

Measure your dog asleep in their favorite position, nose to tail, and add several inches. Sprawlers need a rectangular bed longer than their stretched-out length; curlers like a round or bolster bed. For crate beds, measure the crate floor.

Check that the cover zips fully off and the zipper is hidden or covered, so a chewer cannot get at it.

Puppies, seniors and accidents

Puppies and older dogs with incontinence go through bedding fastest. A waterproof liner under the cover protects the foam, and a second cover means one can be in the wash. See our washable pee pads for extra protection.

If an adult dog suddenly starts having accidents in its bed, mention it to your vet, since new incontinence can have a medical cause.

Can I put a dog bed in the washing machine?

Fully washable beds and removable covers can usually go in the machine. Foam inserts should be spot cleaned and aired, not soaked.

How often should I wash my dog's bed?

Every one to two weeks for most dogs, weekly for heavy shedders and allergy-prone dogs, and right away after accidents.

What detergent is safe for washing dog beds?

A mild, unscented detergent with an extra rinse. Skip fabric softener, which can irritate sensitive skin.

What is the best washable bed for a large dog?

A large bed with a removable, washable cover over supportive foam, plus a waterproof liner to protect the insert.

How do I get the dog smell out of a dog bed?

Wash the cover warm with an extra rinse, sprinkle the insert with baking soda, vacuum it off and air it in sunlight.
