FAQ

To help us help you, send us any questions you may have about Kuranda dog beds.

	How are the beds chew proof?
	Any place the fabric is in a position to be chewed, it is protected by a poly-resin sleeve. There are no corner gaps to bite. Once in a while a dog will bite through a leg or side piece but it is quite rare. This image shows how the fabric fits into the frame of the bed so your dog cannot reach the fabric. Caution: Fabrics are vulnerable to tearing by persistently scratching or digging dogs.
	Are fabrics and parts replaceable?
	Absolutely! Fabrics are replaceable as are all parts including frame members, corners, and legs; even screws & nuts are available.
	Which fabric is best?
	The three fabrics we use are all excellent materials; each has its advantages. Vinyl weave is similar to what is used on lawn chairs; it breathes, allows water to seep through it, and is cooler than the other two fabrics. However, it is the least durable of the three and is not recommended for jumping, rough-housers. Cordura is an attractive but tough nylon canvas. It is also used for knapsacks and horse blankets; it is simlar to what is used on soft luggage but doesn’t have as much texture. Cordura is at least twice as durable as vinyl weave. However, it is non-porous (water won’t go through it) and it doesn’t breathe. 40 oz Vinyl is our most durable fabric. It is a thick fabric and has a smooth, very easy to clean surface. Like Cordura it doesn’t breathe and will hold water if rained on.
	Can dogs dig through the fabric?
	A determined digger or scratcher can eventually make a hole if he or she works on one spot. For diggers we recommend 40 oz vinyl but please be aware even this exceptionally durable fabric can be scratched through.
	What if my dog just doesn't like the bed?
	Provided it is in new condition (no scratches or scuffs on the frame), a bed may be returned within 30 days of purchase.  However, there is a £8.50 fabric charge as we cannot reuse a fabric no matter how little it was used.
	How high off the ground are the beds?
	Poly and aluminum are about six inches off the floor, 44x27’s and 50x35’s are about 9 inches.
	Which bed is best?
	All depends on the dog. The all aluminum is our strongest and most durable but most around the home dogs will be fine on the poly beds. For boarding kennels and shelters we recommend the poly resin or all aluminum framed beds.
