Why a Clean Dog Bed Matters
If you’re like us, your dog isn’t just a pet—they’re family. They snuggle up next to you after a long day, greet you with tail wags that melt away stress, and bring so much joy to your life. But here’s something we don’t always think about: How clean is the place they sleep and play on?
The Dirty Truth About Dog Beds
Did you know that dog beds can be one of the dirtiest spots in your home? Studies show that pet beds can harbor bacteria, allergens, and even parasites - things that aren’t just bad for your dog, but for you too.
- 1 in 5 pet owners admit they only wash their dog’s bed once every few months (yikes!)
- More than 20% of dog beds become unhygienic within just two weeks if not washed
- The Environmental Protection Agency recommends washing your dog’s bedding every two weeks to reduce allergens and prevent flea infestations.
If you’ve ever noticed a doggy smell lingering in your home or seen your pup scratching more than usual, their bed might be the culprit.
Why We Created Dootsie: Making Clean Comfort Effortless
When we set out to design Dootsie, we asked ourselves one simple question: why are dog beds so hard to clean and challenging to re-assemble?
Traditional dog beds are bulky, hard to wash, and take forever to dry. Even when they are clean, it is a nuisance to put the bed back together. Some beds don't even fit in a standard washing machine. And let’s be honest, if it’s a hassle to clean, we’re all less likely to do it as often as we should.
That’s why we designed Dootsie dog bed sheets—a simple, effortless way to keep your dog’s bed fresh. Made from soft, breathable 100% cotton, they’re easy to remove, machine washable and dry-able. No more wrestling with oversized beds or worrying about trapped odors. Just swap, wash, and give your pup a clean, cozy place to rest—because they deserve it. When you do need to wash the bedding cover itself, we've designed the foam pieces in just two units so that it is easy for you to put back together. Not only that, but with the fabric of the cover being waterproof, we hope that you are able to rely on the bed sheets solely for maintingn cleaninliness.
More Clean = More Love
Keeping your dog’s bed clean isn’t just about hygiene—it’s about love. A fresh, soft bed means:
- Better health for your pup (and fewer vet visits!)
- Less pet odor in your home
- More snuggles without that “bed smell"
- Peace of mind knowing your best friend sleeps in comfort
- Beautiful home styled with bed sheets in earthy tones
At Dootsie, we believe that life with your dog should be joyful, simple, and clean. That’s why we created a way to make fresh bedding effortless—so you can spend more time making memories and less time worrying about laundry.
