Has anyone thrown this cover in the washing machine? My hounds slobber and seem to love to be in the pond prior to taking trips.

Dear Marci,This can be hosed off and left to drip dry. Or it can be spot cleaned by wiping it down with mild soap and rinsing it off. it is not recommended to be in a washing machine.Sincerely,Richelle HPetsupplies.com

I haven't washed it yet, but I love it. My car interior is black so of course I have a yellow lab, it keeps her hair off the back completely.

Not yet. I've only sprayed and wiped ours down. Sorry I can't be more help.

I have taken the cover off and washed in the washmachine. It takes some doing. You have to undo all the straps and watch just how they go before taking them off. Once all the straps are off the cover will be easy to get off.

My dogs don't have that problem (yet) so it's hard for me to answer your question. I will say that the foam has two covers on them and I have yet to have a problem with it getting wet after my dogs come in from playing out in the snow.

The cover that comes with it is washable but, I have not been able to find covers from Amazon. I haven't looked anywhere else but, I'm sure covers are out there somewhere.

I've not washed mine and they just use it as a play house (not a litter box cover). It's made of nylon and I haven't seen the need to wash it.

Eek..Since my dog does not 'go' while wearing it, I have not yet washed it! I was planning on hand-washing, though since is so small.

My dog has a triple coat and sheds excessively, the hair tends to weave into fabric as she moves around. This cover is microfiber with a quilted look to it, so far the dog hair comes up fairly easily with the brush of my vaccum. With the sticky hairs I use a pethair remover brush which brings it right up. Also the dryer lint screen catches all when I wash the cover. We have redclay mud and lots of rain and snow, if she muddies it up, I let it dry and brush it off. Comes right off until I am ready to wash it. I am really happy with cover. It is as close to furnature covers as I have found. I haven't had flyaway fur issues. Her coat tends to stick to everything. It is worth a try for you. Hope this helps. Leslie

Your question reminded me that I had never washed my bed and it was long past due. I unzipped the hood to make two pieces again, took the cover off the cushion and decided not to wash the inner pillow. It seemed like it might deteriorate, so I just aired it out. I put everything else in my large front-loading washer, after having to brush a whole lot of hair out of the seams areas, thanks to my Sheltie. I dried all three pieces and it came out good as new. The hood part even stays up better (it had been kind of droopy, though my dog seems to love being it, even when it is rather collapsed and more like a cocoon.)Hope you have the same luck as I did in machine washing this bed.

The first time we removed the covers and simply put them in the washing machine.Since then we have protected them by spraying the covers with"Sunbrella" fabric guard. This product is a water repellent and now all we do is wipe them with a damp cloth.

I washed mine but it was a complete pain - just too big for a normal washer and will throw it off balance. I can't believe it doesn't have a removable washable cover.

Mine came lined with a synthetic blend blue cover which I was unsure how I would really be able to wash well if it got soiled. I use an organic cotton cover on top and lay a smaller changing pad liner (with no elastic) on top of that which has a waterproof back. You can get them in sets of 3 from Babies R Us. They were helpful with newborns so you didn't have to change the whole cover so frequently. Hope this helps:-)

The cover is not removable. The whole pad, with the cord removed, goes into the washer and dryer. I know this sounds weird, but that's how it's made. Hopefully it will wash and dry with ease like sunbeam says. I haven't tried that yet. Check www.Sunbeam.com for more information.

Not really. Also when we washed the outer liner it was hard to put back on. If you are looking for a water resistant orthopedic dog bed, then I recommend the 100 percent memory form pad pet bed (with denimi outer cover) made by dogbedforless.

I'm checking out this bed because it's waterproof (or supposed to be). How did your dog urinate through the waterproof cover? Is it not what it claims to be?

My bad --I responded earlier that there was no removable cover --the problem was that due to my dog wetting the bed -- the bed had to be laundered resulting in clumpy filling.

You don't replace it. We hose it down every other day and let it air dry, but it's machine washable (put it in an old pillowcase because some "blades" of grass will come out). The company also sells a special bag to wash it in as well. They recommend not machine washing though until your dog is fully trained. We've had our puppy for 4 weeks exactly and he's been fully litter box trained for 2 weeks now. We just did our first machine wash and air dry (grass is not to be put in the dryer). You can go online and communicate directly with the company. They're great at answering questions and responding to customers. You don't replace it.

I would definitely throw it in the washing machine if it got dirty. I haven't tried it yet but it looks durable enough to do so.
