At Black Lab Brands, we believe that your dog's bed should be as comfortable as it is durable. While many "ballistic" dog beds make big claims about toughness, they fall short in the most important areas: comfort, longevity, and hygiene. Here's why our beds are a better option for your pup and why our fabric technology is a true game-changer.

1. Soft and Comfortable Fabric

Ballistic dog bed fabrics are often slick and feel hard to the touch. While they're known for durability, they certainly don't offer the same level of comfort for your dog. Our fabric, however, is designed with a softer hand while still maintaining durability. We've crafted a fabric that’s not only recycled but also designed for comfort, providing a cozier sleep surface for your pup.

2. StayFresh™ Odor-Fighting Technology

One of the major issues with traditional "ballistic dog beds" is their tendency to harbor odors, especially if your pup is a little more active or prone to accidents. Our beds are treated with Polygiene® StayFresh™ technology, an all-natural, antibacterial treatment that actively fights odor-causing bacteria. This means fewer washes and a fresher bed for longer, keeping your dog's sleeping space cleaner and more hygienic without the use of harsh chemicals.

3. Superior Durability with a Third Layer of Protection

When it comes to durability, our beds are designed to last. Unlike "ballistic" dog beds, which often begin to degrade after just one wash, our fabric has a built-in third layer that protects the waterproof membrane. This layer ensures that the waterproof barrier doesn't start to degrade, even after multiple washes. We’ve heard many reviews from disappointed customers who’ve had their "ballistic" beds' waterproof backing come off in little squares after washing, which is a frustrating and unfortunate experience. With our fabric, you can rest assured that this won’t happen—your bed will stay intact and continue to perform at the highest level.

This is a picture of what happens to 2 layer “ballistic” fabric when washed or left outside over time. The waterproof layer degrades, starts becoming permeable after the first wash, eventually coming off and ending up in your washing machine

4. A Better Investment in Comfort and Longevity

In the long run, our beds are a better investment. While "ballistic" fabrics may seem like a tough solution, they lack the comfort and quality that your dog deserves. Our beds offer superior comfort, better hygiene, and longer-lasting durability, thanks to our innovative three-layer fabric and natural antimicrobial treatments. Plus, the fact that we use recycled materials in our products means that you're making an eco-conscious choice that doesn’t compromise on quality.
