Cleaning the Dog Bed Cover: Our dog bed covers are machine washable. Wash on cold, tumble dry. Our microfiber also does not shrink. As long as you wash on cold & tumble dry, they can be washed 1,000 times and they won’t shrink by more than fractions of a millimeter.
Cleaning the Foam: The foam can be cleaned, but it’s a bit more hassle than washing the cover. If there’s ever an accident or a spill on the foam, what you want to do is soak the affected area thoroughly with warm water and dish soap. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes. Then press out as much moisture as you can. Do not “wring out” the foam, because wet foam is very heavy and tears very easily. Leave it in a dry place. It might take a couple days to completely dry out, but when it does, it should be good as new.

Bed Measuring Guide
Are the beds waterproof?
The microfiber covers are water-resistant, but not 100% waterproof. Things like drool, licking or a wet dog coming in from the rain will NOT get through the fabric.
Microfiber is a very tightly woven fabric, so the "holes" are very very tiny. Drool, wet fur, etc will be blocked by the microfiber cover.
However - if you spilled a glass of water on the cover and let it sit for a long time, it WILL get through.
What if my dog won't use the bed?
While most dogs love the bed right away, it's not uncommon for some dogs to take up to a few weeks before getting used to a new bed. Don't worry, almost all dogs fall in love with the bed, it just takes some dogs longer than others.
Here are a few tips that have worked for other dog owners:
- Rub your hands all over the cover. It often helps to get your own scent on the bed.
- Lay on the bed yourself. This might get your dog interested in approaching and possibly stepping onto the bed.
- If your dog's old bed has a removable cover, take it off and lay it on top of the new bed. This can sometimes make the new bed seem more familiar.
- Put the bed in the exact spot where he lays while you're home. In my house, it's often right next to the couch. It doesn't need to stay in this spot, but it can often jump start the "trying out the new bed" process.
- Old fashion bribery. Get your dog to lay down on it, then bribe with a treat. Bribe every few minutes it stays on without getting up.
Most importantly though, just give it time.
Are the beds chew proof?
No, the cover is not made from chew resistant material. We use a furniture grade microfiber. It's "tear resistant" - meaning, it holds up better against nesting/digging than most types of dog bed covers. But dogs can chew through it if they're determined.
How do I clean my Big Barker products?
Dog Bed Covers
Our dog bed covers are machine washable. Wash on cold, tumble dry. Our microfiber also does not shrink. As long as you wash on cold & tumble dry, they can be washed 1,000 times and they won’t shrink by more than fractions of a millimeter. They’re also very easy to take on and off. Most dog beds just zip on a single side, but we use zipper around 3 sides.
Crate Pad Covers
The crate pad covers are also machine washable, however it’s easier to clean them with just a wet rag. Since they’re made with waterproof backing, don’t worry about getting the foam wet. If soiled, you can wipe with warm soapy water. Any dish soap will do. If you do choose to machine wash, use low heat. Dry on low for 10-15 minutes. IMPORTANT: Never use high heat settings in the washer or dryer, high heat will destroy the waterproof backing.
Waterproof liners
Machine washable. Wash on low heat, dry on low for no more than 10-15 minutes. Drying the liner on high temperature settings will destroy the waterproof backing.
Cleaning the Foam
The foam can be cleaned, but it’s a bit more hassle than washing the cover. If there’s ever an accident or a spill on the foam, what you want to do is soak the affected area thoroughly with warm water and dish soap. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes. Then press out as much moisture as you can. Do not “wring out” the foam, because wet foam is very heavy and tears very easily. Leave it in a dry place. It might take a couple days to completely dry out, but when it does, it should be good as new.
How do I know what size is best for my dog?
The most important measurement is the width of the bed. What you want to do is have your dog stand up straight, and measure from the bottom of the paw to the top of the hip or shoulder. This is the amount of room that your dog needs to be in a full 100% stretch position. Compare that measurement to the width of our sizes. You'll want an extra 3-4 inches. For example, if your dog measures 25 inches, you'll do great with the Large, which is 30" wide. But if your dog is 28 inches, you'll want to bump up to the 36-inch wide XL. Note: the foam composition is the same between the Large, XL, and Giant sizes. All 3 sizes can easily support a 300 lb dog if they have to.
10-Year Warranty.

I was so hopeful
By Chewylover on Sep 16, 2020
not only would neither of my dogs sleep on this bed they wouldn't even go in the living area anymore:( I'm not sure why but they totally disliked the new very expensive orthopedic luxury bed ...as a human i could totally lounge comfortably lol but it was meant for the furrbaby with hip dysplasia and arthritis big dog the size was perfect. It reminds more of a micro fiber nice couch cushion

By MARLY on Aug 24, 2020
I live in hot Vegas and we have an inside large kennel, my dogs would tear up everything inside my home, so little by little i've been letting them in the house. the slept on their new beds in my bedroom the entire night. I have 2 year old lab and rottweiler. My rottweiler has hip problems so this helps him sleep better. My lab doesnt move all night he is so comfy.

Changed my dog’s life
By AJJ13 on Jul 22, 2020 Top 250 Contributor
Do not think twice - buy this dog bed. The price made me hesitate but now I own 2! Within weeks of receiving this bed, my 12 year old pittie mix was more mobile than he has been in years. This dog bed has honestly changed this guy’s life. I finally pulled the trigger and got Mack his Big Barker Bed in June and O.M.G. - to say this bed has been a miracle is NOT an exaggeration. Mack is walking better, Mack is sleeping in (no more 5 am whining for food), and he went for a freaking walk! He hasn’t been on a self-initiated walk in at least a year. TODAY - like 10 minutes ago - he chased after a ball I threw for our youngest dog Gracie and he RAN around the yard playing with her. We have made NO other Do not think twice - buy this dog bed.

Took him To the vet last week to show her his amazing improvements and she was impressed. My only regret is not knowing about this bed years ago. … more

Incomparable dog bed
By Felicity on Jul 12, 2020
For big dogs that always need support for their weight & joints, look no further. As a veterinarian, it's really hard to see big dogs, especially arthritic seniors, lying uncomfortably on thin pads or hard floors. This bed is a game changer! It's such a pleasure to see my own arthritic Lab & all the other large K9s relaxed & comfortable on 7" of excellent, nontoxic foam. It's, well-designed, beautifully made & will outlast all those other beds that end up in landfills. Yes, it costs more but it's worth every penny. And you're supporting a small company making quality products.

Best dog bed ever!
By Tori on Jul 15, 2020
I never write reviews but I had to for the Big Barker. If you are on the fence about this bed, this is your sign to get it. This was hands down the best investment I made for my puppy. I got the XL and he is currently about 55 pounds. It is big (takes up a large part of my kitchen), but he sprawls out in all different directions. He is the most energetic puppy, but when I am not home, he will just go to the Big Barker and finally nap. No regrets whatsoever getting this. The price seems wild, but it's so worth it. Side note-i took a nap on it yesterday and it was the best nap I've had in months. It's much better than my own mattress, but only the best for my fur baby!

Just what I expected
By Bailey20 on Aug 2, 2020
I did a lot of research for an orthopedic bed for my dog. What was really important was that it was made in the USA and that I was reassured with the quality. This bed has so far been great! I haven't had it that long but my dogs both enjoy it. I feel I made the best decision to purchase a Big Barker bed.

Worth it!!!
By WorthIt on Jul 29, 2020
I have 60lb and 70lb pitbulls who like to sleep with their pug sister. It was tough finding a bed they could all fit on comfortably and would actually enjoy plus have the durability/thickness to last. BIG BARKER has passed the test, they LOVE IT and have room to spare (size purchased was XL) highly recommend. This is worth the money.

Don’t hesitate!!! Buy this bed!
By Rach on May 29, 2020
If you’re on the edge about this bed or hesitant about the price, it’s worth every penny!!! Very high quality and comes with a 10 year warranty! What other dog bed does that?! The price is steep however, the amount of cheap beds you buy and toss will end up costing the same if not more than this Big Barker! You’re paying for quality!!! It’s firm with just enough give to provide support and make our babies comfy. I was skeptical at first but once I received the bed, I was very happy with the quality. I bought the large size for my 60 pound black lab and she has plenty of room even when she’s laying down. Only the best for my fur baby! :)

Best Warranty
By Ilovepuppylove on Jun 23, 2020
I’ve had dogs all my life. A good bed is just as important to your fur buddy as it is to you. I’ve had it with cheap beds that need to be replaced every year. Do the math. Even if it’s $50 every year for 10 years, that’s $500. Big Barker beds are less than half that. I’ve spent way more than that on beds made in China. One even gave my pup a horrible rash. From now on I’ll only buy US made products. Big Barker beds are durable & supportive, just like what I buy for myself. Your dog deserves it. So does your wallet.

The world’s best bed!
By Joyce on Jul 21, 2020
This bed beats out all the previous orthopedic beds we have purchased for our 80 lb lab/pit mix. I would have saved lots of money wasted on other supposedly orthopedic beds if I’d have gotten the Big Barker In the beginning.
