New for A/W 2026: our Dog Travel Pad, now finished in tough, water-resistant Dry Wax Cotton Canvas — a comfy travel pad made to perform, wherever you take it.

The Travel Pad was built to go wherever your dog goes, and we're thrilled to launch a rugged version in Dry Wax Cotton Canvas as part of our Utitly Collection of high-performance dog beds for high-performance dogs.

Our Dry Wax Cotton Canvas is a modern, hi-tech evolution of traditoinal waxed cotton - the textile made famous by the iconic Barbour jacket. Dry Wax Cotton looks like tradtional waxed cotton, and even takes on the patina of every day use like a trusted old wax jacket - but it is dry to touch and is machine washable too. Wipe with a damp cloth to spot clean and for deep cleans run it through the wash just as with any Charley Chau bed covers.

Our Travel Pad in Dry Wax Cotton Canvas is still the same lightweight, easy-to-carry mattress you already know, just built to last through more adventures — a genuinely tough, water-resistant dog bed for life on the move.

Dry Wax Cotton Canvas Frequently Asked Questions

Is Dry Wax Cotton Canvas waterproof or water-resistant?

Dry Wax Cotton Canvas is highly water-resistant, it repels everyday wet, muddy paws, splashes and light rain, and wipes clean in seconds. For prolonged exposure to very heavy rain or submersion in water, it isn't designed to be fully watertight. This is a genuinely tough, practical fabric for dogs who love to get mucky.

Can you machine wash the water-resistant dog bed and its Dry Wax Cotton Canvas covers?

Yes. Unlike most waterproof fabrics and waterproof dog beds that rely on a physical coating to deliver waterproofing, our Dry Wax Cotton Canvas is fully machine washable. The fabric can be wiped clean or the covers removed and machine washed on a 30 degree wash cycle.

How do I clean a Dry Wax Cotton Canvas dog bed?

For everyday mess, simply wipe the water-resistant canvas clean with a damp cloth. For a deeper clean, remove the cover and machine wash on a 30 degree wash and dry naturally.

Is Dry Wax Cotton Canvas the same as traditional waxed cotton?

Not quite. Dry Wax Cotton Canvas is a high-tech evolution of traditional waxed cotton (the fabric made famous by the iconic Barbour jacket). Like traditoinal waxed cotton, Dry Wax Cotton softens over time and takes on the marks of every day use so it starts to look and feel like a familiar old friend, but unlike classic waxed cotton, Dry Wax Cotton is dry to touch, machine washable, and doesn't require re-waxing.

Is this a genuinely tough dog bed for outdoor or muddy dogs?

Yes. Dry Wax Cotton Canvas is part of Charley Chau's Utility Collection, purpose-built as a tough dog bed range for dogs who get mucky — whether from muddy walks, working in the field, or general everyday chaos.

Can a water-resistant dog bed be used outdoors?

It's best suited to indoor use, boot rooms, utility rooms, porches, or covered outdoor areas — the water-resistant canvas handles damp paws and everyday spills brilliantly, but it isn't intended for permanent outdoor exposure to the elements.

Can I add waterproof dog bed liners to this water-resistant dog bed?

Yes, our anti-micorbial waterproof bed liners can ben added as an additional barrier to the Dry Wax Cotton Canvas dog beds but the Dry Wax Cotton Canvas is highly water-resistant and it's unlikely that you will need the extra waterproofing protection other than in exceptional circumstances.
