I'm sick of fighting my dog for space on the bed! How do I choose the dog bed perfectly sized for my dog?

Our dog beds are larger than regular sizes available in the market, and are designed in perfect squares. We can’t explain how rectangle works to dogs right 😊

No dog deserves to fall out of bed! Refer to our size guide to help you select the right size for your dog: https://poochmate.com/pages/size-guide

 

How do I know which collar and harness will fit my dog best?

There are no standard collar sizes, but we do strongly recommend measuring your dog's neck before purchase.

 

Use a soft tape measure, and allow sufficient room to slip two fingers between the collar and your pup's neck. Use this same method for bow ties and bandana too. All our product pages have size guides. You can also refer to our generic size guide here: https://poochmate.com/pages/size-guide

My dog is unique! Can I customise this product?

We are a small-batch producing company and like to maintain quality over quantity. Wherever possible, we will try our best to accommodate customization requests. However, since we are a small team, customized orders mean stopping our regular production. Please allow us 10-15 days to dispatch customized orders. You can place your requests at contactus@poochmate.com.

 

What do you mean this product is sustainable? Does that mean it's not as durable?

In simple terms, it means our products are eco-friendly and people/animal friendly.

We use cotton in bed covers, mats, harnesses etc and these are made to last wears and washes. Wherever possible, we use nickel-free metal hardware that can be melted and reused. To make our harnesses and collars durable and sustain pressure from strong pulling dogs, at this point we have to use plastic buckles for strength. We are working on finding an alternate solution to plastic buckles.

Our buttons in our garments for both humans and dogs are non-plastic now.

We use durable stitching techniques to ensure our products are durable, skin friendly and good to look at! Our products are not just design driven and durable but a conscious choice !

 

Why should I buy a dog bed in the summer? Not like my dog is going to sleep on it, right?

Wrong! Because PoochMate beds aren't made with polyester canvas or foam as the popular beds in the market. We use 100% cotton for our outer covers, which makes them less likely to “heating up” A dog bed is not a winter accessory. Dog Beds help your dog in sleeping comfortably, and keep the joints and elbows safe which otherwise get affected by sleeping on hard floor. 

Are your beds fully washable?

Our beds come with fully removable and washable covers, with zips on all sides. You can order separate bed covers to ensure your dog is never without a bed when the cover goes for wash!

What type of fabrics and filling do you use?

We use 100% cotton, linen fabrics for our mats, and bed covers. The filling is recycled polyfill, which regains shape once your dog moves out of the bed. This enables us to keep the cushions in shape for many years and washes.

Natural fibres that make cotton are good for your dog, you and the environment because, not only are they comfortable to wear and skin – friendly, they are also completely biodegradable.

Most of our fabrics are pre-washed to control shrinkage.
