With the British Autumn settling in, dog owners everywhere will be steeling themselves for months of dealing with mucky dog beds. We’re in the same boat with our four monkeys. They may be short coated and prefer to walk around a puddle than get their paws wet but they’re inevitably pretty mucky after a walk through the woods in the rain.

That’s why we design all of Charley Chau dog beds and dog blankets to be as practical as they are comfortable and stylish, working to a mantra of “machine washable everything”.

A little bit of inspiration if you're thinking about refreshing your dog's bed this Autumn ... here's some great combinations of Day Beds and Deeply Dishy Beds in Weave and our lush Faux-Fur Blankets.

Very excited about Weave Slate, the latest addition to our collection of luxury dog beds for A/W2014!

The second of our new additions for the A/W 2014 season, this stunning Faux-Fur Blanket in Silver Fox with gorgeous silver grey tones and just a hint of fox. We're in love - again! 

We're quite nerdy at Charley Chau when it comes to all kinds of things. We never thought when we first designed our Snuggle Bed that it would lead to researching subjects we had never previously given any thought to - like washing machines, and specifically what washing machines do to fabrics!

So we thought we'd share some of bits and bobs that we have found interesting and in some cases enlightening when it comes to wash care!
