That is why owners often choose it for the garden, the patio or the kennel. Your dog will also feel right at home with it indoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA fixed spot outside, even when the weather turns\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany dogs like to lie wherever their owner is, and in summer that is often outside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy a normal bed soon disappoints outdoors\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA normal indoor bed soaks up rain and morning dew. The fabric then stays wet for a long time and starts to smell musty. On top of that, the colour fades quickly in the sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bia Bed Outdoor is made for exactly these conditions. The cover dries fast, fades less thanks to the UV resistant fabric and repels dirt. So your dog is soon lying dry again, even after a shower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe underside is outdoor fabric too\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is a clever detail. Moisture from wet tiles or damp grass cannot soak into the bed from below. This keeps the core better protected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat makes this outdoor dog bed so sturdy?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnder the outdoor cover sits the same core as in the standard Bia beds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA polyether core\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe core is made of polyether. This material spreads your dog's weight properly. So your dog lies firmly and comfortably at the same time, even on a hard patio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSides and base as one piece\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith Bia Bed, the sides and base form one piece. Nothing shifts or comes loose. That gives a stable feel, and it also makes the bed easy to move.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe side is ideal for dogs that like to rest their head on something. A dog that curls up finds a safe little spot against the side. And if your dog likes to stretch out, simply choose a larger size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWashing and keeping it water repellent: here is how\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCaring for this bed needs a few fixed rules, and they matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy wash at 80 degrees?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cover can go in the washing machine. Wash it at 80 degrees or more on a synthetics programme. The fabric then stays water repellent and you do not need to reproof it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat should you avoid?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDo not use fabric softener, because it damages the water repellent layer. Dry the cover outside on the line or in the tumble dryer at 40 degrees at most. This keeps the protection working for as long as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn practice, you do not need to wash it often. The fabric is self cleaning and repels water and oil. You can usually just beat or brush out loose hair and sand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich dog and which spot is it made for?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bed suits dogs that spend a lot of time outside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThink of a dog that lies in the garden all day keeping watch. Or a dog that sleeps in a kennel. It is also a practical choice for gundogs and working dogs that come home wet and dirty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStill, it is a bed and not a kennel house. Place it outside in a covered spot, such as under a canopy or veranda. That way your dog is protected from strong sun, heavy rain and wind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it work indoors too?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the bed is also suitable for indoor use. That is handy in a utility room or hallway, where your dog comes in after a walk. A wet coat is no problem for this cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrom puppy to senior\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA puppy can make quite a mess and an adult dog brings mud inside. The easy to clean fabric is a real help then. For a senior that feels the cold, the thick polyether core insulates against a cold floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater and oil repellent cover that dries quickly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUV resistant, so suitable for sunny spots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnderside made of outdoor fabric against rising damp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolyether core for good weight distribution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMachine washable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich size outdoor dog bed do you need?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bia Bed Outdoor comes in five sizes, from small and round to very large.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBia 0: 50 x 50 x 12.5 cm, round\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBia 2: 60 x 50 x 12.5 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBia 4: 85 x 70 x 15 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBia 6: 100 x 80 x 15 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBia 7: 120 x 100 x 15 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to measure your dog\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasure your dog while it is lying down, from the nose to the base of the tail. Add 15 to 25 cm. That length is the minimum inside size you are looking for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe round Bia 0 is nice for small dogs such as a Chihuahua or Maltese. The Bia 2 often suits a Jack Russell or Dachshund. The 85 cm dog bed works well for a Beagle or Cocker Spaniel, and the Bia 6 and Bia 7 are meant for a Labrador, shepherd dog or an even larger breed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBia Bed Outdoor specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBelow are the key facts, all together in one clear overview.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBia Bed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOutdoor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eShape\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRectangular with raised sides, Bia 0 is round\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eColour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTaupe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCover material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOutdoor fabric: water and oil repellent, UV resistant, self cleaning, on the underside too\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFilling\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolyether core\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAvailable sizes\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50 x 50 x 12.5 cm, 60 x 50 x 12.5 cm, 85 x 70 x 15 cm, 100 x 80 x 15 cm, 120 x 100 x 15 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWashing instructions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAt least 80 degrees on synthetics, no fabric softener, dry outside or in the tumble dryer at 40 degrees at most\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSuitable for\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGarden, patio, kennel and indoors\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTaupe: a calm colour that looks good outside\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe taupe shade goes nicely with natural materials in the garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThink of wooden decking, grey tiles or a lounge set in earthy tones.

The Outdoor combines that well known, sturdy build with a fabric made for outdoor life. Looking for a durable, washable dog bed for outside? Then this bed gives your dog a reliable spot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions about the Bia Bed Outdoor\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere are the answers to some frequently asked questions:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the Bia Bed Outdoor stand in the rain?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cover repels water and dries quickly, so a shower is no problem. Still, it is best to place the bed in a covered spot. That way your dog also has shelter from rain and wind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAt what temperature should I wash the cover?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWash the cover at 80 degrees or more on a synthetics programme. The fabric then stays water repellent and you do not need to reproof it. Do not use fabric softener.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the cover go in the tumble dryer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, at 40 degrees at most. Drying it outside on the line is fine too. The fabric dries quickly by itself anyway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes moisture soak into the bed from below?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, the underside is made of outdoor fabric too. So moisture from a wet floor does not soak into the bed from below. This keeps the polyether core better protected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this bed also suitable for indoors?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the bed is also suitable for indoor use. It is especially handy in a utility room or hallway. A wet or dirty dog after a walk is no problem for this fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is it different from the Bia Bed Original?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Original has a smooth faux leather cover. The Outdoor has a fabric cover that stands up to water, oil and UV light. The polyether core follows the same idea in both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich size suits a Labrador?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a Labrador, you usually choose the Bia 6 of 100 x 80 x 15 cm. Do measure your own dog, because dogs differ. Measure from nose to the base of the tail and add 15 to 25 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWant to know more, or do you have a question?
