New Bed

Hey Guys, Hope you your dogs are all well

Id like to get Lola a new bed.. She has a fabric one at the moment but her hairs just embed itself & even after a good hoover, wash & lint roll the hairs dont all come away.. Ive seen some leather beds?

Does anyone have them & what do your dogs think, Im concerned that she'll get to hot & sweaty


Thanks

Mine doesn't have a bed, she just uses mine or the sofa so I can't really help, when she did have a bed she pulled all the stuffing out! Leather looks smart though

You could chuck a blanket over it to stop it getting too hot / cold. That's what we do, although Mia's never quite taken to any of the beds we've bought her since we got rid of the tatty old beanbag she loved.

We have this bed for Rocky (well not exactly this one its slightly different in style) and his hairs are not a problem with it. Have you tried giving Lola a good brush, we found this worked with reducing the amount of loose hair in our home:

I was thinking a bean bag..

Lolas content on the beds & sofas too..She doesnt bother to get up & greet guests when shes on the sofa, I think in fear of losing her spot! lol Although sometimes its not ideal as we havnt huge sofas & shes a 'I want to be on you' type of dog plus need somewhere to send her if shes naughty

hi kathy,

That bed looks smart & i think were its fleecy the hairs should come away easy enough..

She loves a brush & when were out walking her we give her a good rub down too.. I dont know where shes getting her hairs from!! I think its more noticeable as we have black sofas & shes a white dog..

That could well be the case

I personally don't like the idea of leather beds, purely because I don't find leather sofas as comfy as fabric ones.

I just buy cheap single duvets, fold to size then fashion a pillow case type cover with the sewing machine, the dogs love them and they're easy to bung in the wash I find if I use a cotton fabric the hair comes off no problem
