-
Does a 3 inch high latex mattress provide enough orthopedic support for a large dog?
Yes. Our Natural Latex is made in different firmnesses according to bed size. The toy and small size mattress is just right for tiny dogs and cats, mediums are mid-range firmness. Larger mattresses will be firmer for larger, heavier dogs. Therefore, no matter what size your dog is, we have you covered! The 3-inch height also makes it easier for dogs to step onto the bed, especially those with limited mobility or orthopedic ailments.
Some manufacturers sell higher/thicker dog beds. Most of those beds are made with different layers of foam glued together. Often, only a portion of the layers are actually latex, as they are mixed with various other cheaper foam types. Some are made with shredded foam, which has a tendency to shift around in the cover, offering very little orthopedic support.
-
How do I wash All Natural Dogs’ products?
Dogs can be messy! So, all of our bedding is made to be washed frequently and conveniently. We recommend washing in cold water with an eco-friendly detergent and hang drying for environmental reasons. However, if necessary they can all be machine washed in any desired temperature and tumbled dry. Cotton fabrics will wrinkle, but we feel that is not as important as the natural qualities of our beds.
Our beds will last for years and resist stains naturally- yes, even the light colors and natural/beige! If you are inclined to spot treat, we recommend Folex spot remover as a nontoxic, water-based pre-treatment. We also recommend using an oxy cleaner or washing soda, to safely remove typical dog dirt.
Sole Mats in larger sizes will be heavy when wet. Be sure your machine is up to this, or consider a commercial machine.
Latex mattresses should never be exposed to heat. Any foam mattress is a fire hazard when exposed to heat.
-
What size bed should I order?
For Orthopedic dog beds, measure any bed you have, and determine if you need to go larger or smaller. It is always better to go larger if you are in-between sizes. If you don’t have a bed, observe your dog’s sleeping habits and measure the area she takes up when stretched out. And, of course, puppies will grow! Our bed measurements are on each product page, and they account for shrinkage after machine wash and dry.
