OUR BRAND

Was Treat A Dog acquired by Paw.com?

In 2019, we rebranded our company from Treat A Dog to Paw.com. At Paw.com, we'll continue to listen to your feedback and create new and innovative products that improve the quality of life for pets and pet parents!

OUR PRODUCTS

What size dog bed should I get?

The size of the dog bed you need will depend on the length of your dog. The best way to determine the right size is to measure your dog from the tip of the nose to the base of the tail; this is the minimum length the bed needs for your dog to stretch out.

Our beds also have a size guide on their product pages that can give additional information on bed sizing.

I already have a bed. Do you sell just the covers?

We sell dog bed replacement covers separately for some of our memory foam dog beds. Please make sure to purchase the same size and style cover as your bed. If you have any questions about the bed size you ordered, please send an email to support@paw.com with your order#.

What are the benefits of a memory foam dog bed?

An orthopedic memory foam bed offers a number of benefits to senior dogs or dogs with arthritis or hip dysplasia. These include additional support for the dog’s joints and muscles, along with improved weight distribution when your dog is resting. It’s also great for puppies, providing support from the start to help prevent future ailments from developing.

Is an orthopedic bed only good for senior dogs?

An orthopedic memory foam bed is great for dogs of all ages! For big dogs and breeds prone to hip dysplasia or joint problems later in life, it’s recommended to provide them with full support from a young age to prolong joint health.

Are your beds orthopedic or memory foam?

Both! Orthopedic means that the bed or mattress is designed to support the bones and joints, and to alleviate pain. Our memory foam pet beds are considered orthopedic as the pressure-relieving memory foam base will help support a dog's bones and joints.

How thick is the memory foam in the PupRug™ Collection?

Our PupRug™ Beds, including the PupRug™ Faux Fur Orthopedic Beds, PupRug™ Runners, and PupRug™ Faux Animal Print Beds have a memory foam base that measures approximately 2 inches thick.

Why does my product say Treat A Dog?

In 2019, we started rebranding our company from Treat A Dog to Paw.com. Our award-winning PupRug™ and popular PupProtector™ product lines, which were previously under the Treat A Dog brand name at www.treatadog.com are now being sold and will continue to be sold at www.paw.com. At Paw.com, we'll continue to introduce new and innovative products that make you as happy as they make your furry family members!

Do you use real fur in any of your products?

No. The fur you see on many of our items is a synthetic, ultra-soft faux fur fabric. 

What happens if my faux fur bed or blanket gets matted?

Brush and fluff up the faux fur using a pet care brush with widely spaced metal bristles – this kind of brush is called a slicker brush. Brush and fluff carefully so you don't damage the faux fur's fabric.

Do the faux fur rugs and blankets shed?

Shedding may occur and is normal with faux fur products, especially in the beginning, but after a few days, the shedding should stop as the loose fibers have been discarded. Washing the faux fur covers of the bed and the faux fur blankets on cold wash delicate cycle should help the faux fur to stop shedding.

Do you have a guarantee on your memory foam beds?

We offer a ten-year guarantee against flattening for all of our memory foam mattresses. If you experience any flattening of the bed foam within that time, please send a photo to support@paw.com with a photo of the flattened foam for quality assurance purposes.
