Snozy hondenbed - Ribfluweel

How do I know the right size for my dog or cat?

Small (S) 56 × 50 × 18 cm usually fits dogs weighing 5–9 kg, such as toy poodles, Tibetan terriers, or long-backed dachshunds, and it is also a spacious bed for ragdoll and cornish rex cats.

Medium (M) 75 × 60 × 20 cm accommodates dogs weighing 10–20 kg, for example Welsh Corgi Cardigans, cocker spaniels, or female Spanish water dogs.

Large (L) 90 × 78 × 22 cm provides stretching room for friends weighing 25–35 kg, such as smooth-coated retrievers, German pointers, or salukis. However, measure your own pet lying down – length plus a few centimeters is a good rule of thumb – and ask us if you are between two sizes.

What does the corduroy feel like under the paws and fur?

Soft, short-pile velvet feels like the upholstery of a favorite armchair: luxurious against the skin, but the dense nap does not catch hair or mat even soft fur. It also tolerates dogs jumping on and off better than ordinary cotton.

Does recycled foam filling provide joint support?

Yes. The flexible yet resilient foam molds under the hip of a side-sleeping whippet and returns to its height in the morning. You can fluff the filling by hand if you want a lower mattress for a growing puppy or a plusher base for a senior.

How often should the cover be washed – and is it machine washable?

Remove the zippered cover and wash it in the machine at 30 °C on a delicate cycle whenever the retriever’s muddy tracks start to show (for many, 1–2 months is enough). Avoid tumble drying and let the fabric dry in a well-ventilated place for a couple of days to keep the colors bright.

Is the bed spacious enough for a broad-hipped labrador or a long bengal cat?

Yes – in size L the side walls flex lightly, so a 35 kg labrador can roll onto its back and stretch its toes over the edge, and a 60 cm long bengal can stretch cat-like without its head falling off the mattress.

What makes Snozy an ecological choice?

Both the fabric and filling utilize recycled fibers, and the entire bed is made in Europe with short transport distances. When you wash the cover in cool water and let it dry naturally, you extend the materials’ lifespan and reduce your carbon footprint.

Does the dog sweat in corduroy during summer?

Velvet breathes surprisingly well because the nap stands as small columns creating air pockets. If the apartment heats up during a heatwave, move the bed to the shade and spread a thinner blanket over it; in winter, velvet insulates against the cold floor and feels comfortably warm on the joints.

Are the edges high enough to serve as a pillow for pillow lovers?

The 18–22 cm high, softly filled sides form a natural pillow where a border collie can rest its chin and watch the living room events without neck stiffness. The lowered front edge also makes it easier for elderly cats to step in.

Does the bed stay in place or does it slide on parquet?

The bottom has an unobtrusive anti-slip mesh that keeps the bed in place even if a cockapoo puppy has an evening frenzy. If the floor is very slippery, add a thin rug underneath for style and extra grip.

Does corduroy withstand chewing?

The fabric is wear-resistant, but no textile can beat a determined chewer. Offer a young lagotto energy bundle chew toys and direct attention to them, so the bed stays intact. If a small hole appears, the cover is easy to patch or order a spare cover.

Can a cat and dog share a Snozy?

In theory, a 6 kg Maine Coon and a 12 kg Shetland Sheepdog fit comfortably side by side in size M, as long as the edges have first been “broken in” soft by pawing. Start shared use by supervising so that both territorial rules become clear. Good luck!

Where should the bed be placed in the interior?

Mustard creates a warm color spot on oak parquet and suits a boho-style bedroom. Forest green blends into a Scandinavian light living room and highlights green plants. Place the bed against a wall in a draft-free spot so the dog feels secure.

Can I change the cover to another material, for example for summer and winter use?

Snozy has the same zipper as the fleece version, so you can buy a separate fleece cover and swap it when you want a fluffier feel for winter nights. Spare covers are available in several shades – ask our customer service for availability.

Is the bed suitable for an allergic family member?

The polyester blend contains no animal fibers and withstands 60 °C steam or ironing treatment, so dust mites can be kept under control. Regular airing and washing are enough for most allergy sufferers without chemical treatments.

How do I keep the bed looking good in everyday rush?

Shake the filling weekly, vacuum the velvet with a low nozzle brush, and wipe small stains with a damp microfiber cloth. These five-minute maintenance tasks keep Snozy fluffy and fresh even if your calendar is full.
