What ruins a dog bed is rarely the cover. It is liquid soaking into padding that never fully dries, and once that happens the bed smells permanently. A waterproof layer between dog and stuffing prevents it, which extends the life of a good bed by years rather than months.
Key Benefits
- Blocks liquid before it reaches the padding
- Non-slip backing keeps it from sliding off the bed
- Prevents the permanent odour that soaked padding develops
- Works on dog beds, sofas or a human mattress
- Machine washable, unlike the bed padding it protects
- Useful for incontinent, elderly and recovering dogs
Best For
- Incontinent and senior dogs
- Puppies still house-training
- Dogs recovering from surgery
- Heavy droolers and dogs that come in wet
- Protecting an expensive bed or mattress
How It Works
Lay it over the bed under whatever blanket or cover the dog normally lies on, so it sits between the dog and the padding. Wash it whenever the top layer goes in. Because the padding underneath stays dry, that is the only thing you ever need to wash.
Pros and Cons
Pros: Prevents the single failure that ruins dog beds, non-slip so it stays put, washes easily, and works on furniture and mattresses too.
Cons: Waterproof backing does not breathe, so it can feel warm and slightly clammy under a dog. It also crinkles audibly when the dog moves, which unsettles some dogs at first.
Things to Consider
- Waterproof backing does not breathe and can feel warm underneath
- Crinkles audibly, which puts some dogs off initially
- Wash cool, as hot washes degrade the waterproof layer
- Measure your bed rather than assuming a size
- Prices, availability and shipping times are set by the AliExpress seller and can change
