Choosing the right size Latte Brown bed
Latte Brown is a soft, warm neutral that sits easily in almost any room — but a bed only becomes your dog's favourite spot if it fits them properly. Below you'll find how to measure your dog, which of our two sizes suits them best, and how to keep your bed clean and fresh.
Available sizes
A great match for small to medium dogs — think French Bulldogs, Cavaliers, Cocker Spaniels, Beagles and mixed breeds of a similar build.
Made for bigger dogs like Labradors, Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds and Boxers, plus any long-bodied pup who likes room to stretch.
Use breed as a rough guide only. Dogs vary a lot, even within the same breed, so a quick measurement is the most reliable way to choose.
Measuring your dog in four steps
- Check their standing length. While your dog stands relaxed, measure from the tip of their nose to where their tail begins.
- Check their full stretch. When your dog is lying flat on their side and fully stretched, measure from nose to the end of the tail. This is the key measurement — even curlers stretch out sometimes.
- Note their weight. It's a handy second check, particularly for solid, compact breeds.
- Pick the size with room to spare. Go for the bed that's comfortably longer than your dog's full stretch, rather than an exact fit.
Caring for your Latte Brown bed
- Take out the inner mattress. Undo the zip at the centre of the base and lift the inner mattress out of the braided surround.
- Wash on a gentle, low setting. Pop the inner mattress cover in the machine on a low temperature with a mild detergent.
- Skip the dryer. Dryer heat can change the filling and shape over time, so let it air dry completely somewhere with good airflow.
- Wipe down the braid. The outer braid can't go in the machine — sponge away any marks and let it dry naturally.
Keeping Latte Brown looking fresh
- Lighter tones show muddy paw prints sooner, so a quick spot-clean after walks keeps it looking new.
- Wash on a regular schedule — oils and odours build up well before the bed looks dirty.
- Only the inner cover goes in the machine, so make sure the mattress is fully out first.
- Give it a brush to remove loose fur before washing to protect your machine's filter.
- Make sure the cover is completely dry before zipping it back on.
