If you're one of the many pet owners who allow your dog to sleep in your bed, you're probably familiar with the added challenge of keeping your sheets clean. Dogs, with their muddy paws, drool, and dander, bring a whole new level of mess to your bedding. But how often should you wash your sheets when your dog is sharing your space? The answer may surprise you — and we have the solution to make it easier for both you and your pup.
When your dog sleeps on your bed, the usual buildup of dirt, oil, and sweat is compounded by pet hair, saliva, and sometimes even odors from accidents. These added factors make washing your sheets even more important. But beyond just cleanliness, your sheets and bedding can accumulate bacteria and allergens, which can negatively affect both your health and your dog’s well-being. Regular washing ensures a hygienic environment for both you and your pet.
The general recommendation is to wash your sheets once a week. However, when you have a dog that shares your bed, you may need to wash them more often, depending on several factors:
Your Dog’s Activity Level – Dogs who spend a lot of time outdoors, get into mud, or have long hair that sheds will bring more dirt into your bed. These dogs may require more frequent washes.
Allergies or Sensitivities – If you or your dog suffer from allergies or skin sensitivities, washing your sheets more often will help prevent flare-ups from pet dander, dust mites, and other irritants.
Dog Size and Coat Type – Larger dogs or dogs with dense fur are more likely to shed and leave behind more hair. Additionally, certain dog breeds that drool or have more skin oils may require more frequent washing.
Accidents and Messes – If your dog has an accident in your bed, immediate washing is essential. Having waterproof sheets or a washable cover can help protect your bedding from lasting damage.
Washing your sheets more frequently can be time-consuming and may even damage your fabric over time. That's where Black Lab Brands comes in. Our StayFresh™ pet-friendly bedding is designed with pet owners in mind, offering a cleaner, fresher sleep space without the need for constant washing.
