Has anyone ant experience of tuffies dog beds , i have been given one and decided to clean it ,looked on the tuffies website and it says clean with fairy liquid and hose down , well i did that and it seems to have seeped thru the cover and the filling is wet at each end , are they supposed to be waterproof ?

must be a fault somewhere as it def shouldnt leak. I have 3 of them and pressure wash them weekly without any leaks.

I have had tuffies for a number of years and they have been washed sooooo many times I have lost count, never had the covers leak.

Hi Newfienook
Do you have the wipe clean version? These are def OK with a hose, I've washed mine that way. I also had reason to unpick one recently (wrong size so I did a few adjustments!). It was stitched very tightly with strong thread and on the section of external stitching, after filling, it was glued and sewn. I wouldn't trust the seams with immersion in water or prolonged soaking but a quick blast with a hose shouldn't have caused a problem.
The woven variety don't seem as waterproof but they certainly advertise them as OK for hosing.
Either way it seems that yours have failed you. Their site certainly makes a big feature of the waterproof qualities so ring Tuffies and see what they say, perhaps they have a fault. Good luck

Same as above, I hose mine down weekly, and we have had them for 3 years without any water getting through.
well its finally dried out today , wont be hosing it down again in hurry , think i will just sponge it not that mine use them any way , i will keep it for rescues instead
Did you ring Tuffies to see if it was a fault? What did they say?
