Snooza Dog Bed Care Guide – Clean, Fresh, and Long-Lasting
How to Wash and Maintain Your Snooza Dog Bed
Keeping your Snooza dog bed clean ensures your pet’s health and extends the life of your investment. Recent data shows that 72% of Australian pet owners wash their dog’s bedding at least once a month ([1]), which helps reduce allergens and maintain a hygienic home environment.
“Regular washing of your dog’s bed is essential to prevent bacteria and allergens that can cause skin and respiratory problems in pets and people.”
— Dr. Jen Schilling, BSc DVM, Wildlife Veterinarian (WA Wildlife)
