I need a truly waterproof dog bed as my dog was fixed too young and has some incontinence issues. This one doesn't seem waterproof. Recommendations?

This pet bed is wonderful! I purchased it for my pup while he was on bed rest during heart disease treatment and it provides so much support. The slip-cover detaches and can go right into the wash and if the mattress itself gets damp or wet I just lean it against a wall on my porch and let it air dry. The material is great and dries rather quickly. I LOVE this pet bed and think it was worth every penny!

I do not know if it would hold up for an incontinence issue. I have 2 of them for 2 fairly large dogs. My dogs have had minor liquid vomit on them occasionally and they have held up for that. The only problem I have had is laundering the cover. It washes well, but does not hold up in the dryer as advertised. I had to buy replacement covers and I air dry them, but they do dry fast.

My dog fell in the pool earlier this summer and after fishing him out, I immediately removed the collar, dried it off and we had no problems. He also loves to play in dirt, roll in wet grass, etc. and we've had no issues. But that is the extent that we have tested out the "waterproof" feature. :)

My dog loves this bed. We use it in our trailer when camping. I've washed it twice and it cleans well. The padding does not bunch up when it is washed.

I have not tested the waterproofing. However, I do not believe it can be used as an outdoor dog bed.

I don't. The mattress is already waterproof. However, adding another layer such as a waterproof mattress would make a slightly cozier bed.

This works great! Even though we haven't replaced the dead battery's yet, we still put it our dog and he just knows what will happen! Don't know if it's waterproof, but for the price it's worth a try! Good luck!

Since you posted this, did you take your dog on the kayak, and how did it work out? Is there a problem keeping him in the boat - does he need to be tied in somehow? If you used the towel recommendation, did that work out?

I never had that problem. I wanted my doggy to be very comfortable and I purchased a real comfy bed at TJ Max to go inside the Pet Gear bag. My dog loves it, I take him with me everywhere I go and he sleeps most of the time and I feel good that he is comfortable and safe. People stops me when I go shopping and always ask where did I get that bag??? We both love it.

good support and does not lose its shape and seems to be very comfortable ...our dogs love these beds. While not a vet, i think the combo of the support and softness would be good for him. good luck hope he feels better

Yes...It is waterproof. This hammock has been well worth the cost and I would absolutely, without a doubt, recommend it. It has been wonderful and my dog loves it!

I bought waterproof covers just in case but the mattress itself has a vinyl(?) case that is non-removable. I've had to put a sheet over just the mattress when I've run out of waterproof covers and it didn't seem to be affected by a pee-accident at all... I just cleaned it off and it was fine, it didn't feel like it had been penetrated.

Honestly, my dogs work in the swamp conditions and it still works. Waterproof, I dont know but it has withstood minimum water. I hope this helped!

I would suggest asking the company directly. We have several (nine) which have held up very well. Our three dogs love them, and our older GSD really seems to appreciate the quality of the foam used. None have shown any signs of deterioration. They arrive odor free, and the covers wash well. These are the best dogs beds we've found over 25-30 years, bar none.

My dog, blue, is a 180 lb Great Dane. He used his indoors only as his kennel has a platform when he's outside. He used the cot so much he wore thru it. The company is replacing the material free bc it has a yr warranty that I like. Sorry I can't answer your outdoor question. I assume if u put a dog bed on it that would protect it from the sun. Can't see where water would hurt it as it has tiny holes on the material. It's breatheable

No, the bed is basically the same kind of memory foam you would find in a bed that you would buy for yourself. The denim cover and inner water resistant cover might provide some protection, but if your dog is an aggressive chewer you'll just be throwing money away on a bed this expensive.

I didn't get the recommended carter ones but what I did is put a waterproof pad at the bottom of the bed and a regular twin bed fitted sheet over the whole thing. That way you just have to clean sheet instead of taking pads out if the bed to wash cover and put all back together. You also protect foam pieces in case of a toilet training accident.

It is certainly a comfy bed and has proven beneficial for my dog; however, I am not a vet and cannot give any valid advice. I hope your pup does well, I have a mini hotdog too. good luck.
