The Summer Stripes Dog Bed — Stain-Resistant

The bed that survives an actual dog. A cover that repels liquid instead of drinking it, a zip built for teeth, and a filling that doesn't flatten into a pancake by month two. In two sizes, for dogs who curl and dogs who sprawl.

Why it lasts

• Liquid and dirt run off it — the stain-resistant weave repels spills rather than soaking them up, so a wet dog or a knocked-over bowl stops being a crisis.
• The cover comes fully off — and goes in the machine at high temperature. It doesn't shrink, crease or lose its shape, wash after wash.
• Antibacterial and anti-mould treated — the layer that holds off odour and damp, which is what usually finishes a dog bed long before the fabric gives up.
• A zip made for dogs — reinforced against biting and tugging, not the flimsy kind that splits in week two.
• Filling that stays put — antibacterial pet fibre with real spring in it, so it keeps supporting instead of clumping.

Which size?

• L — 100 x 80 cm — fits a Labrador stretched out rather than curled into a ball. Border Collie, Cocker Spaniel, Beagle, Staffie and most 15–30 kg dogs.
• XL — 120 x 80 cm — for a German Shepherd, a Golden Retriever, or any dog who sleeps fully extended and takes up the whole thing. Around 30–45 kg.

Not sure? Measure your dog nose to tail base while they're lying on their side, then add 15–25 cm. Our dog bed size guide walks through it properly, with a breed chart.

A bed is the thing people replace most often and think about least. This is the one you buy once.
