Everything you need to know about Tuffies Dog Beds

Are Tuffie dog beds chew proof?

There is no chew proof fabric on this planet. If there was, we would be making dog beds out of it!!! However, as far as fabrics go, the Woven Surface Tuffie and the Wipe Clean Tuffie are among the absolute toughest fabrics available. We have had a tremendous feed back from our customers many of whom have declared the Tuffie the only bed their dog never chewed a hole in.

Obviously we do have an ingenious way of giving chewing dogs a warm bed in our Really Tough Tuffie. See shop.

What is inside it?

A futon type mattress: The Tuffie-filling is a substantial mattress made from hollow fibre material which means that it will not end up being a thin, flat bed in a matter of months. The fact that the inside is a separate unit with its own cover means that when your dog has a good dig around before he lies down, he won’t dig all the stuffing up one end. With the water proof cover, the mattress is always dry and therefore maintains a perfect insulation from a cold floor.

Is it not slidy like plastic?

The quick-dry, fabric-feel Tuffie has a woven surface with the water proof layer on the backside of the material. This means that although the bed is 100% water proof it has a textured surface that is nice to touch. The wipe-dry model is made from a more smooth material which some customers will say is plastic-like. This Tuffie is ideal if you need to wipe the bed daily because the dog is incontinent or for other hygiene reasons.

Does the dog not sweat on it?

Dogs do not sweat through the skin like us. They pant and get sweaty paws. Dogs just find the Tuffie to be a proper, no-nonsense bed that is never soggy, clammy or smelly.

Are there any zips or Velcro?

The Tuffie is ONE unit. In our attempt to make a dog bed less tempting for chewing dogs, the zip was the first thing to eliminate. When you want to hose it down, you just do so with the stuffing still in.

Will the Tuffie go lumpy inside?

No. The inside is a futon-type mattress totally protected by the outer, waterproof cover. As it never gets wet or machine washed, it keeps its shape and lasts longer.
