Frequently Asked Questions about: Dog Cushion

How to clean a dog cushion?

To clean a dog cushion, you should read the washing instructions specific to each item. Generally, most of our dog cushions are machine washable at 30°C. As for the others, simply clean them with a cloth or damp sponge, and gently rub with a small amount of detergent or liquid laundry.

By choosing the washable or removable cushions available in our online shop, such as the Zolia Flopy dog cushion, you'll find it easier to wash them. You just need to remove the cover from the removable cushion or put the washable cushion directly in the washing machine. For daily maintenance and to remove dog hair, get our hair removal rollers or brushes.

What size cushion for my dog?

The size of the cushion for your dog depends on its size. An appropriate size according to your pet's morphology is essential for its comfort. A cushion that is too small is useless, it won't be used. A cushion that is too large doesn't provide comfort to your pet.

For very small dogs, you should select a cushion with dimensions of 60 x 50 cm for a rectangular cushion, or 52 cm in diameter for a round cushion…

For small or medium-sized dogs, opt for a cushion of 80 x 55 cm or 65 cm in diameter.

For large dogs, prefer a cushion of 100 x 65 cm or 85 cm in diameter.

Finally, for very large dogs, favor a cushion of 120 x 80 cm or 100 cm in diameter. Our largest cushions for dogs, in XXL size, reach dimensions of 120 x 90. The thickness of the cushions increases with the size of the cushions. The larger a dog cushion is, the thicker it is to support the weight of your pet.

Which cushion to choose for a puppy?

A puppy cushion should be cozy and reassuring. These qualities are found in round cushions with raised edges. The edges provide a frame for the young dog who feels truly at home, protected.

The puppy must feel comfortable on its cushion, it must be able to turn around. However, it's preferable that the cushion size is well-suited to the puppy's body. It should not feel lost on its cushion.

Our Zolia Liloo Cosy round cushion is one of our items that best suits a puppy. Rectangular cushions are also appreciated by puppies, especially if they are placed in a basket.

How to refill the dog's cushion?

To refill the dog's cushion after several months of use and several washes, the first solution is to use a steam steamer to relax the fibers of the cushion and give them more volume.

In extreme cases of cushions that have become too soft and too flat, and if the outer cover is still in very good condition, it's possible to refill the dog cushion with stuffing or fiber, flakes, or batting. Purchasing a stuffing cushion can also be considered.
