Frequently Asked Questions
Why do dogs scratch their beds?
It is part of a dog's natural instinct to scratch their beds to create a comfortable sleeping space. Scratching helps your dog “nest” by softening dog bedding or arranging their sleeping area to feel safe and cosy. That is why at Soul Pet we offer wool vet bedding in a range of sizes for additional comfort to your dog's space.
How do you wash a dog's bed?
To wash a dog bed, you should check the care label for specific instructions. Many luxury dog beds and standard options come with machine-washable covers. For larger options like pet beds for extra-large dogs, spot cleaning or washing the removable cover in cold water is always ideal. At Soul Pet, we do recommend you always thoroughly dry your dog beds to prevent nasty odours.
How big should a dog bed be for a dog?
Your dog bed should be big enough for your dog to stretch out comfortably. For large breeds, we suggest you opt for a large dog bed, while smaller breeds can use dog beds for small dogs or medium options depending on their size. At Soul Pet, we stock a wide range of dog beds and dog mats in different sizes so you can find the perfect size for your dog.
What kind of beds are best for dogs?
Like us, your dog needs a bed that will provide them ample support and comfort. Our luxury dog beds and dog mats have 5cm foam filling that is made with UK manufactured materials for the best quality and comfort for your dog. At Soul Pet, we also cater to a wide range of dog beds for medium dogs and large options for your dog lounging (and weight!) needs.
Do dogs prefer beds or floors?
At Soul Pet, we know how much your dog tries to get on your bed making you wonder whether dogs prefer beds like us, or whether they can sleep on the floor. But, it is interesting to know that most dogs actually prefer dog beds over the floor due to the added comfort, warmth and support. By giving your dog a bed specially designed for them, you can make sure your pet has a cosy place to relax, especially in those brisk winter months. When you shop with Soul Pet, you are choosing a dog bed that will protect your pup's joints and give them a better quality of sleep. A happy dog = A happy you.
