AKC - How to Clean Your Dog’s Bed and Why It’s Important

Maintaining a clean dog bed is essential for your pet's health and comfort. Regular cleaning helps control allergens, prevent parasite infestations, and reduce the risk of infections. Experts recommend washing your dog's bedding at least once every two weeks, and more frequently if your dog sheds heavily, has allergies, or spends considerable time outdoors. Real Simple

Steps to Clean Your Dog's Bed:

1. Remove Excess Hair: Before washing, vacuum the bed's surface, crevices, and sides to eliminate loose fur and debris. Using a lint roller or rubber gloves can help lift remaining hair. American Kennel Club

2. Check Manufacturer's Instructions: Always refer to the care label for specific washing guidelines to ensure the longevity of the bed. You can find instructions related to Rem bed care in our FAQ section.

3. Machine Washing:

• Removable Covers: Every Rem bed has a removable cover, wash it separately in the washing machine using a pet-safe, fragrance-free detergent. Order an additional cover, to ensure your pet's bed is always clean and ready for use. 

4. Drying: Air drying is preferred to maintain the cover's integrity and prevent shrinkage. Ensure the bed is completely dry before allowing your dog to use it to prevent mold and mildew growth, which is made simple with our removable covers.American Kennel Club

Regular maintenance not only provides a pleasant resting place for your dog but also contributes to a healthier home environment for everyone. If you can clean your sheets every week, shouldn't you clean your dog's bed 'sheets', too?
