A tough rectangular dog bed for dogs that don’t do “gentle”
Some dogs curl up politely. Others dig, scratch, shed, drool and drag their bed across the patio. The Dinky is made for those dogs. It’s a rectangular scatter bed in hard-wearing, water-resistant black fabric, with stuffing-filled sides and a foam centre. It’s casual enough to throw down anywhere and supportive enough to actually sleep on.
Every Dinky is handmade in our factory in Roodepoort, in three generous sizes.
Where it works
- The lounge, passage or bedroom: a casual day bed that wipes clean.
- The stoep, garage or carport: water-resistant fabric copes with outdoor life.
- Inside a kennel or dog house: one customer says it fits her dogs’ houses perfectly.
- On holiday: it’s easy to take along, so your dog has their own spot wherever you stop.
What makes it tough
- Fabric. Heavy-duty, water-resistant fabric that handles mud, shedding hair and daily rough-and-tumble.
- Stuffing-filled sides. Soft bolsters to lean against or rest a head on.
- Foam centre. Supports your dog’s weight instead of flattening out like a loose cushion.
- Made in South Africa. Sewn by our own team, so a repair or a question is a WhatsApp away.
Sizes
| Size | Dimensions | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Large | 60 cm × 90 cm | Medium to large dogs, kennels and dog houses |
| X-Large | 90 cm × 90 cm | Large breeds |
| XX-Large | 120 cm × 100 cm | Giant breeds, or two dogs sharing, or a comfortably big bed for the lounging dog |
Which size should I choose?
Measure your dog lying stretched out, from nose to the base of the tail, and add about 15 cm. If you’re between sizes, go up. One customer with a Malamute says the sizing is “huge”, so these run generous. For a kennel, measure the floor space first. Not sure? WhatsApp us your dog’s breed and weight and we’ll tell you honestly which size fits.
Straight talk, so there are no surprises
- Tough, not unchewable. No bed is chew-proof. A customer’s dog tried biting hers and gave up, but we can’t promise that for every dog.
- Water-resistant, not waterproof. The fabric wipes clean and handles splashes and damp. Don’t leave it soaked or sitting in standing water.
- A scatter bed, not a frame. The sides are soft bolsters, which is what makes it comfortable, and they won’t hold a rigid shape.
- Black shows pale hair. It hides dirt well but not light-coloured shedding, so keep a lint roller or vacuum handy.
Care
Shake it out and vacuum off hair, then wipe clean with a damp cloth and mild soap.
