Benefits of a waterproof dog bed

Have you ever considered a waterproof dog bed for your dog? They’re a lot more versatile than you might think. While many dog beds are stain-resistant and even water-resistant, waterproof dog beds take it to the next level. Here are five benefits of waterproof dog beds you may not have thought of.

Versatile for indoor/outdoor living

Waterproof dog beds can be used inside and outside the home. Typical microsuede and fabric dog beds aren’t ideal for use outside because they pick up too much dirt and moisture, but a waterproof dog bed can withstand all the elements. If you and your dog like to spend time lounging together outside on the lawn, near the firepit, or by the pool, then this is a great option for you!

Ideal as second dog bed for lounging outside, camping, and traveling

Another option is to have a primary dog bed for inside the house and a second for travel and outside use only. You don’t have to worry about a waterproof dog bed being destroyed by the weather the way you would for a normal dog bed.

Easy to keep clean

Waterproof dog beds are super easy to keep clean, which is a big draw for dog owners. Many waterproof dog beds can be hosed down outside or wiped with a wet cloth. Others come with a removable, machine washable cover. This makes it easy to clean your dog’s bed when it gets dirty, especially if it’s been outside in the dirt, mud, grass, and rain.

Great for dogs who have frequent accidents

Waterproof dog beds are also a good choice for dogs who have frequent accidents, whether that’s due to incontinence from age or a health condition or simply because your dog isn’t fully housebroken yet. When an accident does happen, a waterproof dog bed is quick to clean and quick to dry, meaning your dog doesn’t have to wait a long time before snoozing in their favorite spot again.

Odor resistant for less doggy smell

This is a big one! No one likes that doggy odor in their house, and the dog bed is usually the culprit. Waterproof fabrics used in waterproof dog beds are a natural barrier for dog hair, saliva, urine, bacteria, dirt, and other substances that cause that funky dog odor. They can’t penetrate the cover into the fill of the dog bed, meaning they don’t take hold and cause lasting odor. And a quick wipe down keeps the waterproof exterior clean and odor-free, too.
