Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Unpack: Carefully remove the pet bed from its packaging.
- Position: Place the bed in your pet's favorite resting spot, ensuring the non-slip base is in full contact with a clean, dry floor surface.
- Allow Expansion: If the foam insert was compressed for shipping, allow a few hours for it to fully expand and regain its optimal shape before your pet uses it.
Compatibility
This Large Orthopaedic Pet Bed is primarily designed for large-sized dog breeds, especially those who are:
- Older: Providing crucial support for aging bodies.
- Suffering from Arthritis or Joint Pain: The orthopedic foam targets pressure relief.
- Experiencing Reduced Mobility: The dropped front facilitates easy access.
For smaller breeds, consider the Medium or Small variants of the Silentnight Orthopaedic Pet Bed.
Care
Cover Care (Machine Washable):
- Remove: Unzip and remove the outer cover from the foam insert.
- Wash: Machine wash the cover separately on a gentle cycle with cold water.
- Dry: Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Ensure the cover is completely dry before placing it back on the foam insert.
Foam Insert Care (Spot Clean Only):
- Do Not Machine Wash: The foam insert itself is not machine washable.
- Spot Clean: For spills or accidents on the foam, spot clean with a mild detergent and damp cloth.
- Air Dry: Allow the foam to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight or heat, before reassembling the bed.
General Maintenance:
- Regular Vacuuming: Periodically vacuum the bed to remove loose fur and dust.
- Check Base: Ensure the non-slip base remains clean and free of debris for optimal grip.
