Smelly dog beds / how often do you wash them?

I have changed my 3 dogs from padded dog beds which are difficult to wash and dry to wicker baskets and blankets.
The problem is now that each basket needs several blankets to make it comfy and i still have alot of laundry to do.
Where do your dogs sleep ? Thanks in advance

All blankets washed once a fortnight. If they have been out in rain more often as once wet that makes the blankets smell. Dogs also bathed once a fortnight. I put a cushion in bottom of basket and cushion cover gets washed weekly.

Mine have various beds and sofas to sleep on.
I also use a single quilt folded over double and buy covers from charity shops for £2 or £3.

Vetbeds in plastic dog baskets and covers on Ruff and Tumble bolster beds washed monthly in a veterinary washing liquid.

I use soft beds but cover them with vet fleece that can easily be washed.

Fortnightly, cushions.

Vacuum them in between.

I have been using Bedsure on Amazon for several years now and they wash and dry brilliantly. Much better than oodles of blankets.

Hi K9 beds with cosy toppers (like vet bed) Hoovered daily and washed weekly.

Ours sleeps on the sofa or in our bed. Everything washed weekly.
