Has anyone taken it apart to wash, and THEN put it back together again?I took it apart, but can't figure out how it goes back together. Thanks.

I am not sure exactly what you mean by taking it apart. You only need to undo the velcro, insert the metal poles back into the holes that are in the "basket" part of the carrier after washing it. The rings that the straps attach to slip through slits in the seat part. Once you do it you will see how simple it really is. I know crazy isn't it!!!

I have washed mine several times. Line up the slits in the liner with the restraint ties and the top support belts. Then line up the velcro tabs. Push the liner down inside the basket and you are ready for use again.

Yes the cover can be removed to be washed. It isn't the easiest thing to take apart and then put back together, but it will come off.

Its very simple. Every time you wash it make sure you dry it completely. It's happened to mine once. Just treat it like any other precious metal object. That's my baby.

Make sure to wash it inside out if you going to do it by washer. I did mine in the washer by the black stuff faded out a bit. Also it didn't shrink or anything so that was the good thing.

Yes, in fact I just recently washed it as my dog had thrown up on it. I washed it in the washing machine then laid it out to dry until mostly dry then put it in the dryer for a short time. All was well.

No help -- mine is still in perfect condition. It takes a LOT of room to wash it.

I washed it without a problem. i had previously just washed the cover but needed to wash the entire thing.

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.

I had that happen once when I washed it and patted it on the sticky side with a paper towel. I took it off and followed the instructions to wash it in warm water and set it on paper towel on the non-sticky side. That was a year ago. Mine is still working just fine. Don't rub the sticky side with any cloth or paper. Good Luck!

I simply unzipped it and washed it in the washing machine. Air dry it or dry it on low heat though. I forgot to turn the temp down on one of the three covers (I own 3 of these beds) and it was a bit difficult to get it back on.

It is put together as one piece. I do not believe its designed to be taken apart. May I suggest you choose another size if this one is too large.

I have not attempted to take it apart but it certainly looks like it would be difficult. It is also difficult to clean but has given me no trouble and I would replace it if this one would get "broken".

I took it apart and flipped it around. It was put together backwards. I hope this helps.

I think you should fold it down flat, press down on the edges while turning counter clockwise and it should come apart. It may take a few tries to get it back together, but be patient. Good luck!

Same thing happened to me. I just started to take it apart to clean it then the bottom part released. Hope this helps

Machine wash separately. Cold water. (I had to go read the tag. I have just been throwing it in the washer and washing it on cold. And obviously separate because nothing else wil fit! Haha)
