If you and your pup love adventure—whether it's hiking, running, or just long days of play—then you know the feeling of coming home to exhaustion (and maybe a little dirt, too). Just like us, dogs thrive on routine, especially when it comes to winding down after an active day. But here’s the challenge: an active dog means a messy dog bed, and no one wants their home to smell like "wet dog" every night.

That’s where having the right dog bed and washable dog bed cover makes all the difference. At LAYR, we specialize in sustainable, durable dog beds that are easy to clean, designed to keep up with your pup’s active lifestyle.

Why a Clean Bed Matters for Your Dog’s Health & Happiness

Dogs don’t just sleep; they recharge. A dirty or smelly bed can disrupt their rest, cause skin irritations, and even attract unwanted bacteria. After a long day of adventure, your dog deserves a clean, fresh place to rest—one that supports their body and keeps your home smelling fresh.

That’s why washable dog bed covers are a must-have. They make it easy to keep things clean with minimal effort, so you’re not constantly replacing an entire dog bed every time your pup brings home a little too much of the outdoors.

The Perfect Post-Adventure Routine for Your Dog

After an active day, help your dog wind down with this simple clean-up and sleep routine:

  1. Brush Off the Dirt – A quick brushing session removes dirt, burrs, and loose fur before they end up in the bed.
  2. Paws & Belly Check – Wipe down paws and underbellies to prevent tracking dirt inside (a must if your pup sleeps on your couch or bed!).
  3. Hydration & Nutrition – After a big adventure, your dog needs plenty of water and a well-balanced meal to refuel.
  4. Cozy, Clean Bedtime – Make sure their dog bed cover is fresh and clean. If it’s been a particularly messy day, just unzip the cover and toss it in the wash.
  5. Consistent Sleep Spot – Just like us, dogs sleep better with consistency. Having a high-quality dog bed in a quiet, familiar spot signals that it’s time to rest.
