Why every bed in our collection is machine-washable.

A bed that can't be machine-washed will, eventually, smell. This is not a criticism of the bed. It is a consequence of being a bed, used by an animal, in a household. Dogs pant. Cats shed. Accidents happen. Muddy paws arrive. Over the lifespan of a bed — call it three to five years of daily use — the cumulative intake is meaningful.

The question is what happens next. A bed with a removable, machine-washable cover resets to clean in one laundry cycle. A bed without that — a bed with stuffing sewn permanently into the outer shell — either gets spot-cleaned (partially, imperfectly) or gets thrown out.

Both outcomes are bad for the customer. Only one is bad for the manufacturer. Guess which one is more common on the market.
