Our dogs can also run in and out as they want so their beds get dirty sometimes, but luckily its very rare that it rains here so it doesn't get so bad. I wash their blankets and toys every week, more for the smell than dirt though... and their beds I wash when they get dirty, maybe once a month depending on the weather:)

Amber and Ruby
Amber, aka, the bed destroyer.....doesn't get a bed anymore. We bought her a beautiful bed at Christmas and she got bord and destroyed it within two weeks of getting it. Now, she gets blankets to cover the sofa and we have four of them. We change them about every three days and wash them and just keep rotating the blankets. She drags them around and piles them up on the floor like she is doing laundry or something. She doesn't seem to lose her mind over the blankets but beds are just too much fun to rip apart for her to keep in tact. Ruby has a great bed but we have put that up for now since they decided peeing on it was the more logical choice than laying on it, Amber has never been left alone with Ruby's bed or it too would look like the one in the picture below.

Forde use to do the same thing with his beds when he was younger, as he got older he didn't tear them apart anymore but the "needing thing" he does would finally start shredding apart and then it was on :) i found the kong bed at petsmart, caught my eye because it said, "CHEW PROOF" if not , will replace free........i ended up exchanging 4 beds from kong due to forde biting through them....but they replaced each and every time....this is one time petsmart was a "GOOD THING" lol....this last bed although he still does the needing thing he's not as rough i guess....it's staying in tack close to a year now....forde turns 4 on this sunday i guess he's mellowing with age...lol :D

We're supposed to wash their bedding?!:tongue:

lol, just kidding. I wash their blankies weekly and since they sleep in bed with me, I have to change the bedding about the same frequency.

There was a period of time -- long ago now -- where I was trying to figure out what was causing hives around here. It was a long, slow agonizing process of elimination. One aspect of that was laundry detergent and drier sheets. Thankfully, that wasn't it. I like to wash their stuff with bleach -- to kill anything -- and then rinse in that wonderful Downy smelly fabric softener.... :heart:
[MENTION=2572]FORDE'SMOM[/MENTION] - you are right though; clean blankies -- very excited. Rolling around in them and laying on them and sniffing them. It's a mini party.
Clean toys? They seem to be saying, " Ewwww. Why did you ruin these mama?" LOL

Ace did the same thing with three beds, two of his own and one of the Maltese's. So now he has three towels in his crate which I shake out daily and wash weekly. He seldom lays on the towels but they are in there if and when he wants to. He usually kicks them to the curb and sleeps on the crate bottom. But sometimes he will sleep on them or lay his head on them while in his crate
