The Cozy Cave “tube” (the flexible support that holds the hood open) is meant to be easy to take out for washing or reshaping. Go slowly and use gentle pressure—tugging too hard can stress seams or the fabric channel.
1) Find the tube channel opening. Along the hood’s edge, look for the small access point where the support was inserted. It may feel like a slightly thicker section or an opening near a seam.
2) Flatten the hood and loosen the curve. Lay the bed on a flat surface and smooth the hood so the tube isn’t sharply bent. This reduces friction inside the channel and helps it slide out cleanly.
3) Grip the tube—not the fabric. Pinch the tube through the fabric at the opening and start to work one end toward the exit. If the tube has a capped end, ease that end out first.
4) Slide out with small movements. Pull a couple of inches, then pause and “walk” the tube out by pushing the fabric backward with your other hand. This keeps the channel from bunching up and protects stitching.
5) Check for twists or snags. If it resists, stop and gently straighten the hood again. A snag usually means the tube is catching on a fold in the channel, not that it’s stuck permanently.
Wipe the tube with a damp cloth and let it dry before reinserting. When you’re ready to put it back, feed it through the channel slowly so it forms a smooth, even arch for that cozy “cave” feel.

Yes—use a gentle cycle with cold or warm water and a mild detergent, then dry thoroughly. If the bed is bulky, spot-cleaning plus a deodorizing sprinkle of baking soda can help between deep washes.
Remove hair first, then wash according to the care label, using mild detergent and a gentle cycle. Make sure it dries completely so it stays fresh and comfortable for your pup.
