About Tuffies dog beds:
We make strong, durable and waterproof dog beds and believe that we have succeeded in manufacturing the best dog beds that money can buy. We make large dog beds, small dog beds and everything in between. Our dog beds are the last word in luxury for both owner and dog as the thick futon mattress with waterproof cover gives perfect comfort, warmth and support whilst maintaining a hygienic environment is as simple and easy as you could ever ask for.
Tuffies dog beds are designed and manufactured in our workshop in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Dog comfort, quality and workmanship is at the heart of everything we do and the inspiration for making Tuffie Dog Beds comes from working with dogs. Luise, our founder, works her four (soon five) dogs and the importance of keeping dogs well and healthy for work is the corner stone of our dog bed manufacturing. Read more on the blog for working pointers.
Apart from making strong, durable waterproof dog beds we also produce the only guaranteed, chew proof, yet warm and supportive, dog bed on the market: the Really Tough Tuffie.
For extra luxury and practicality, we also supply optional cosy ad Fluffy covers to go over your waterproof Tuffie dog beds. These are fully machine washable.
Most importantly, we make beds that take your dog OFF the cold floor, which is why we make a futon-style stuffing that doesn't go flat or lumpy!!! You can buy any number of cheap dog beds with memory foam crumb filling or loose fibre filling, but these beds will rarely keep their shape for long. About 2/3 of the work we do to make our dog beds goes into making the futon mattress filling. This is made from polyester fibres, but it is all stitched down to make a supportive, thick mattress, which keeps its shape. Have a look at our humble comparison at Why Tuffies are different.
Tuffies support charity work: Rescue Labradors, Scotland; Help for Heroes; Hounds for Heroes; Dogs Trust; Books Abroad and many other charities that we have helped out on a one-off basis, often by donating dog beds to help their fund raising.
Cleaning your dog bed:
For the waterproof beds, a quick shake or brush down is enough most of the time. If badly soiled, simply clean well with hot, soapy water and hose or wipe clean.
The stuffing:
Most other dog beds have loose filling, which steadily migrates outwards and leaves the dog on practically nothing in the middle. NOT Tuffies!! Tuffies dog beds contain a futon-type mattress, so nothing moves and the mattress does not go flat or lumpy. The even support and insulation from the floor is perfect.
Durable versus chew proof:
Our dog beds are TOUGH and durable, but no fabric is chew proof!! HOWEVER, for chewing dogs we are the only company that can supply you with a soft, warm, safe and GUARANTEED CHEWPROOF dog bed: "The Really Tough Tuffie".
Our Soft Covers
About 30% of our customers buy a wipe-clean or woven-surface waterproof Tuffie on its own. However, for extra warmth, luxury or to accommodate more thin-coated dogs we offer a range of optional covers to fit on your Tuffie. We have our Light Fleecy cover, which is thin, but quick to wash and dry. As an upgrade to the light Fleece, we have introduced our Luxury Fleece Cover, which is 2.5 times thicker and heavier than the Light Fleece. We have this fabric made especially for us and we are extremely proud of this product, which comes in many attractive designs.
Our Fluffie Tuffie Cover is really like pet bedding ('vet bed') in cover form. The three cm polyester pile gives lovely cosy support for even the most shivery little dog.
Finally, we also offer a Wicking cover, which is for more hard, tough and wet conditions. This fabric is used on seats in off- road vehicles, so that one does not feel clammy sitting in there whilst driving. Your dog will feel dry and comfortable as well, even on the way home from a wet, muddy walk or after a day's work.
Our Tuffie Nest
Our increasingly famous and popular Tuffie Nest is here to stay!!! Look at our Testimonials page. We can't even show all the photos that our customers send in, but the delighted nest photos keep coming. It is essentially a Woven Surface Tuffie with sides on to give extra draft exclusion and "privacy" for your dog. It really appeals to the den-instinct in our wolves.
Conventional large dog beds (from Labrador size and up) that are not waterproof cause huge problems when it comes to washing. Owners of large dogs (even from Spaniel size) benefit from Tuffies beds as you do not have to put them in the washing machine. Everyone looking for a large dog bed will find the ideal solution at Tuffies.
We have dog beds for sale in our online shop, we dispatch dog beds throughout the UK. We specialise in dog beds for large dogs as well as dog bedding and dog bed covers.
