If you do not know how to clean a dog bed, the steps are relatively simple. First, make sure that any loose dirt is hoovered up. This is especially important if your dog has fleas, as it can catch any minute eggs that might be lingering on the materials. 

Secondly, if there are tough stains, spot clean with stain remover to target the harsher areas before the bed is placed into the washing machine. If your dog bed has a cover, take this off and wash this separately to the inner body of the bed. They can both be washed together, but they will get a much deeper clean when separated. 

Once the dog bed cover is in the wash make sure to use an antibacterial and also odour removal washing detergent that will remove any lingering wet dog smells! Make sure your detergent of choice is dog friendly, as some can be toxic to our furry friends. Once finished, allow the bedding to air dry to avoid any shrinkage that may occur in the dryer. Once it's ready to go, let your dog enjoy its freshly cleaned dog bed!

Getting a puppy is a huge responsibility therefore you need to make sure you have all of the essential items bought before your puppy arrives in your home. First of all, make sure you have a sufficient dog bed that is perfect for their size and also comfortable. 

You may also need a crate which will support their obedience training. You also should make sure you have the right food for your dog, accompanied by a food and water bowl. 

Get them some dog blankets to make them feel as comfortable as possible in this new environment. Make sure you provide them with enough toys, poo bags to pick up their accidents, and also have their collar and identity tag ready. You will need to buy more items as your mischievous pup grows and breaks things, but it will all be worth it to have a new family member.

If your dog is chewing on your furniture, this could be an indication of boredom and frustration. The best thing you can do to take their attention away from your new OHS furniture is to give them as much enrichment as possible. 

That means making sure the environment has its very own dog items such as dog mats, chew toys, and also enrichment activities such as licking mats to keep them busy. It also can be a sign of teething in pups, so investing in dog toys that are made to soothe their teeth and gums will also prove to be helpful.

Finding the perfect dog bed for your dog may take a couple of attempts if you do not have the correct measurements. Dogs need enough space on their cheap dog beds to move around and not be cramped. Measure the length of your dog from the top of its shoulder to the base of its tail, and the length of the dog bed should exceed this slightly for optimum comfort. Large, microfiber-filled affordable dog beds at OHS have a length of 85cm, a width of 32cm, and a height of 20cm, perfect for any medium to large-sized dog.
