FAQ - Domus Canis

1. What is the difference between a dog sofa and a regular dog bed?

Unlike a standard floor cushion, a dog sofa is built with a solid frame and raised edges. This furniture-style construction provides a more stable resting surface that maintains its structural integrity over time, offering better support than a simple padded mat.

2. Are Domus Canis dog sofas suitable for large dogs?

Our range includes multiple sizes engineered to support different breeds. Detailed dimensions, including inner seating area and maximum weight capacities, are provided on each product page to ensure you select a model suited to your dog's size.

3. Will my dog actually use a dog sofa?

Many dogs adapt quickly to a sofa-style bed, although adjustment time can vary between pets. The elevated sides provide a sense of security and a comfortable place to rest their head. To help a hesitant pet, placing a familiar blanket or toy on the new sofa can encourage them to use the space immediately.

4. Are the covers washable?

Yes. To maintain hygiene, our sofas feature washable cushion covers. Regular cleaning helps keep the resting area free from allergens and odours. Specific care instructions for each material are listed under the "Specifications" section of the product pages.

5. Are dog sofas suitable for older dogs?

Yes, the stable base of a dog sofa is often beneficial for senior pets. However, if your dog has mobility issues, we recommend pairing the sofa with a dog ramp. This setup allows them to reach their resting spot without the physical strain of jumping.

6. Do I need a dog ramp with a dog sofa?

A dog ramp is an optional but highly recommended accessory for small breeds, senior dogs, or pets recovering from injury. It minimizes repetitive joint impact caused by jumping on and off furniture, promoting long-term joint health.

7. What are the delivery and return options?

Shipping times and return policies are clearly displayed on our policy pages and during checkout.

8. How do I choose the right size for my dog?

Selection should be based on your dog's weight and length (from nose to base of tail). We provide an "Inner Size" measurement for every sofa; ensure this area is large enough for your dog to stretch out comfortably in their preferred sleeping position.
