Where have all the Charley Chau beds gone?!

* Updated 13th December 2018 - Thank you so much to everyone who has placed their order while our wait list has been in operation, we are pleased to announce that we have cleared our wait list and most Charley Chau beds are now in stock for delivery before Christmas! Please check on the individual product pages to ensure that the item you have chosen is in stock for pre-Christmas delivery.*

Following unprecedented demand for Charley Chau beds over the last two months there is currently a wait list for Charley Chau beds in Medium and Large sizes for the following styles of beds but fear not, your dog will still get them well in time for cosy canine Christmas:

All other bed sizes are available for immediate dispatch as usual. 

What on earth is going on?!



Over the last few months we have experienced unprecedented demand for Charley Chau luxury dog beds in Medium and Large sizes. The last two months in particular have seen an explosion in demand for Charley Chau beds that we never could have imagined possible.

We have been seeing an increase in demand for our lovely beds all year but, plainly put, it has been crazy since September. Much of this is due to the incredible press coverage that we’ve received this year which has meant that lots more people have found out about Charley Chau.

In some ways this is, in theory, a “nice” situation for our business to be in but we never like to make our customers wait and we certainly don’t want to disappoint them so we really are very sorry.

It means there’s currently a wait-list for the Charley Chau beds listed above

To manage the situation we are implementing a temporary wait list for the beds and sizes listed above on a first come, first served basis.

We expect the wait list to be in operation for two weeks and we are aiming to be back to our normal immediate dispatch of orders of the above beds by Friday, 14 December 2018.

Joining the wait list:

Customers who want to join the wait list for any of the sold-out beds listed above can do so by placing an order as usual on our website. Orders received will be placed into our wait list on a first come, first served basis. We expect to dispatch wait list orders well in time for Christmas as follows:

  • Orders placed before midnight on Sunday, 2 December 2018 - estimated dispatch by Monday, 10 December 2018
  • Orders placed from Monday, 3 December onwards - estimated dispatch by Friday, 14 December 2018
