Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Your House of Paws Velvet Square Dog Bed requires minimal setup. Simply remove it from its packaging and place it in your desired location. Ensure it's on a flat, dry surface where your pet feels safe and comfortable.
Compatibility
This specific model is designed for small-sized dogs. While the overall 'rectangular' form factor allows for versatile placement within your home, the internal dimensions and snug design are best suited for smaller breeds who can comfortably curl up or stretch out without being confined. Always consider your pet's size and sleeping habits when choosing a bed.
Care Instructions
Maintaining your dog's bed is straightforward thanks to its thoughtful design:
- Cushion Cleaning: The inner cushion is removable and machine washable. Remove the cushion from the bed's outer shell.
- Machine Wash: Wash the inner cushion on a gentle cycle with cold water using a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
- Drying: Air dry the cushion thoroughly. Do not tumble dry, as this may damage the filling or fabric.
- Outer Bed Cleaning: The outer velvet shell, including the non-slip base, should be spot cleaned only with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not machine wash the entire bed, as this can compromise the non-slip base and overall structure.
- Regular Maintenance: Fluff the cushion periodically to maintain its loft and comfort. Regular vacuuming can help remove pet hair from the velvet surface.
