meezers Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Last Christmas I bought a new memory foam bed for the dogs, it's rectangular, with a removable fake leather cover. It got brilliant reviews on the site I bought it from and the dogs love it. BUT, it's forever wet at the bottom. We have a tile floor in the kitchen and there's a permanent damp spot under the bed. The first time I noticed it in the summer I assumed Maya had wet her bed so I stripped the dry cover off only to find the foam soaking wet and stinky poured buckets of hot soapy water over it, left it to dry and rezipped cover. A few weeks later I noticed the bottom was damp again. I'm fairly certain the dogs aren't peeing on it - Maya did have continence problems when we first got her, but has been ok for the last year.I'm thinking the bed is sweating ? Anyone else have one of these dog beds and noticed the same ? Any ideas how to rectify the problem ? it's a brilliant bed for Maya who gets stiff in an ordinary bed, but the smell is driving me mad.

The Dogmother Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Sounds as if you might need to attend to the damp coursing under the flooring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meezers Posted November 22, 2011 Author Share Posted November 22, 2011 No, the floor's fine, I've had other dog beds/ blankets etc there and they've been dry, it's just this foam. I'm thinking the zipped up cover is not helping, maybe it can't breath. But if I remove the cover I know my terrier is going to turn it into foam chippings in minutes.

lillybettybabs Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 We had a similar problem in our kennel boxes - i think it is a humidity thing. We have swapped to raised beds now which have good joint support and no stinky wet patch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
