How often should you wash a pet bed? A fortnight is the working rhythm, and weekly through the spring moult, which is exactly the season we are in. The routine that keeps it painless: covers off and shaken outside, a gentle wash with a fragrance-free liquid, and no softener, because it coats the fibres and traps the very smell you were washing out. Then the hills hoist. Full sun, properly bone dry, since a damp insert goes musty from the inside out. Before it all goes back together, knead the insert like dough until the loft springs back. Flat filling sleeps cold and hard. The honest test for whether a bed is finished: wash it, dry it, fluff it, and if the pile stays matted flat anyway, that is age rather than dirt, and no cycle brings it back. Expect the sniff audit the moment it goes down, followed by the full-body flop. No product in your house gets reviewed more honestly. When did their bed last see the washing machine, this month or best not to say? And if the fluff test says the old one is done, you know where to find ours. how often to wash a dog bed, washing pet bedding tips, when to replace a pet bed

Is it normal for my dog to snore? Most of the time, yes, and the same goes for cats.

Snoring usually comes down to three things. The breed, because flat-faced dogs and cats like pugs, French bulldogs and Persians have shorter noses and narrower airways. The position, because a pet asleep on its back with its head tipped back is almost always louder. And how deeply they're sleeping, because the big snores tend to come when they've properly switched off.

If your dog or cat has always snored, that's just who they are. The time to pay attention is when it's new, or sudden, or it comes with a runny nose, sneezing or less energy than usual.

For the everyday snorer, comfort helps. Give them something to rest their chin on, like a rolled blanket or a bed with a raised edge. And if the snoring keeps you up, a bed of their own across the room means nobody has to move out.

Tonight, have a listen and a look at how they're lying. Back, side or curled up, the snore often follows the position.

Which one snores louder in your house, the pet or the partner?

Elevated dog beds are made for the days your dog picks the cool tiles over their own bed.

You know the move. It warms up, they get off their bed and stretch out flat on the floor instead. Then evening comes and those same tiles are cold and hard again.

This Shih Tzu in a red tartan dress is on a bed that sits up off the floor. Breathable mesh is stretched on a frame, so she's off the hard tiles and air moves underneath her as well as over the top. There's a pillow along one end that comes off, for the dogs who like to rest their chin on something.

It comes in two sizes, small at 66 by 45 cm and large at 83 by 63 cm. Measure your dog lying stretched out.

Where does yours end up once it warms up, the bed or the floor?

High bed, little dog, and a jump that looks bigger every time he takes it.

In the video this Papillon has his own set of steps right up against the bed. He walks up them, step after step, no run-up and no big leap, and stops at the top, level with the bed. Nobody helped. He got there by himself.

That's the point of Pet Steps. They give a small or older dog a way onto the bed or the sofa step by step, instead of jumping for it.

And it's his own way up. Plenty of little dogs want to be where you are, and with steps he's not stuck on the floor waiting for somebody to notice.

The ones in the video are brown. They come in grey as well.

Is yours a leaper, or does he sit there and stare at you until somebody helps?

Why does my cat purr? Usually because she's happy, but not always.

The happy purr is the one you know. Soft eyes, a loose body, and a cat kneading away on your lap or a blanket. That one means exactly what it sounds like.

But cats also purr to settle themselves. You'll hear it at the vet, in the car, or after a fright. When the purr is nerves, you'll usually see it somewhere else too: ears flat or turned sideways, big pupils, a low crouch, a tail tucked in close. So when you hear a purr, look at the rest of her before you decide what it means.

Then there's the breakfast purr. Some cats slip a little cry into the purr when they want feeding, and it's surprisingly hard to say no to.

One thing to keep an eye on: purring while hiding somewhere unusual. Give her quiet, and if something seems off, check in with your vet.

Does yours have a special breakfast purr?

Some days a small dog wants to sprawl out in the open. Other days they want to disappear for a while.

The little black and tan Chihuahua in this video does both in one go. One minute she's sitting up in the round plush bed, the next she's in the tunnel with only her face showing.

The round part is soft and deep enough to curl into, and the tunnel gives them somewhere covered to hide.

It comes in grey and in rainbow. This one's the rainbow.

One of our customers, Elisabeth, summed it up in her review: "My mini dachshund loves it".

If your Chihuahua ends up under every blanket in the house, a tunnel bed gives them a spot of their own to burrow into.

Is yours a sprawler or a burrower?

How to stop your dog digging in the garden, just as the spring planting goes in.

Dogs dig for a few reasons, and spring stacks them up. Fresh blood and bone, compost and mulch smell brilliant to a dog. Warmer afternoons send him looking for cool dirt to lie in. And a dog who's bored, lonely or full of energy will always find himself a job.

So work out which one you've got. Lots of shallow holes near the house usually mean he's making a cool bed, so shade and water come first. Holes in the new veggie patch point to the smell, so fence it off while it's fresh. Holes everywhere point to boredom: a longer walk before you leave and a chew while you're gone.

Then give him somewhere he's allowed. A sandpit or one corner with a few toys buried in it, and a big fuss every time he digs there. Telling him off hours later won't help, because he can't link it to the hole.

Is yours a one-big-hole digger or a little-holes-everywhere digger?

Later this month we're showing our bouncy pet ball, a soft plush toy dressed as a pig that bounces and moves on its own, for the days he's home alone.

Where should your pet sleep at night? Watch where they keep choosing, because the spot is never random. Every sleeping place answers a question. Height answers safety, which is why the cat ends up on the wardrobe where nothing can creep up behind her. Tiles answer heat, that belly-down sprawl on a warm afternoon is temperature control. The sun rectangle answers cold, and she will migrate across the lounge room with it by the hour. A blanket cave answers instinct, especially for the breeds that were built to sleep underneath things. And an abandoned spot answers the question you cannot feel from standing height: where the draught runs along the floor. Put those together and the good corner writes itself. A wall behind it, no draught through it, warm, and with the family in view. Usually that means a bed of their own within arm’s reach of yours. So, honestly, where did yours sleep last night, their bed or the middle of yours? One pet sleeps hot and one sleeps hidden, which is why yesterday’s bed and last week’s bed are opposite shapes. where should my dog sleep at night, why does my cat sleep on the wardrobe, best spot for a pet bed

Got a cat who goes mad for a new toy, then never looks at it again?

In the video the SmartMotion is stuck on the door, sitting completely still. The black cat gets close to it, and that's what sets the feather flicking. Then she sits right there and watches it.

It's motion activated, so it only starts when she goes to it. A toy that just lies on the floor gets boring fast because it never does anything new.

It also means she can play without you. If you're busy, or out of the house a lot, she still has something that reacts to her and keeps her interested.

Does your cat actually play with her toys, or does she save it all for your shoelaces?

Two small dogs, one lounge, and two very different ways of getting off it.

This is a Yorkie and a Min Pin on one set of grey pet steps. If you've got two small dogs you'll know how it goes. One waits by the edge for you to lift them down. The other one launches off before you've even sat down.

With the steps, they both take the same way up and down. The steps are low and wide, so neither of them has to rush it.

Keep watching and a lid comes up. Every step is a box, so the leads and the spare toys can live in there instead of in a basket by the door.

Put them where the jumping already happens, at the edge of the lounge or the bed.

Which one's the launcher at your place?
