– How to Refresh Your Pup’s Favorite Float for a New Season of Splashing

Spring has arrived, and your water-loving pup is probably itching to dive into sunny adventures again. But before your dog makes a splash, it’s time to give their Lazy Dog Lounger® a little spring TLC!

If it’s been tucked away since fall, don’t worry—we’ve got you covered with this simple guide to cleaning, inspecting, storing, and reintroducing your lounger for another season of safe, splash-tastic fun.

🧼 Step 1: Clean Off Winter Dust & Debris

Your dog’s float deserves a fresh start!

How to Clean Your Lazy Dog Lounger®:

• Rinse Thoroughly: Start with a gentle hose rinse to remove dust, dirt, and debris.

• Mild Soap & Water: Use a soft cloth or sponge with pet-safe soap to clean the surface. Avoid harsh chemicals that can irritate your pup’s skin.

• Scrub Gently: Focus on any areas with visible stains, especially corners and seams.

• Rinse Again: Make sure all soap residue is removed to keep it safe and comfy for your pup.

• Dry Completely: Let it air-dry in a sunny, ventilated space before use or storage.

🐾 Pro Tip: Cleaning your lounger also prevents mold, mildew, and unpleasant smells.

🔍 Step 2: Inspect for Wear and Tear

A quick inspection ensures your dog’s lounger is in top condition and safe to use.

What to Look For:

✅ Seams: Check for splitting or separation along the edges.
✅ Fabric Surface: Look for any tears, worn patches, or punctures.
✅ Foam Core: Gently press around the lounger to ensure the foam feels firm and even.
✅ Straps or Handles: If your model has them, test for strength and security.

💡 If you notice small surface damage, patch kits or fabric adhesives may help extend the life of your lounger. For major damage, it might be time to upgrade.

🧊 Step 3: Proper Off-Season Storage (If Needed)

Not using your lounger every day? Keep it in great shape with smart storage.

Storage Tips:

• Store Indoors or Covered: Keep your lounger out of direct sunlight or harsh weather to prevent fading and damage.

• Avoid Sharp Objects: Make sure it’s not resting on or near anything that could puncture or tear it.

• Lay It Flat: To maintain its shape, avoid folding it for long periods.

• Keep It Clean: If storing long-term, give it a final wipe-down and make sure it’s bone-dry before putting it away.

🌼 Bonus: Storing properly in spring can help your lounger last many summers to come.

🌊 Step 4: Reintroduce Your Pup to Their Lounger

After a long winter, your dog might need a reminder of just how awesome their Lazy Dog Lounger® is.

How to Make It Fun Again:

• Place it in a sunny backyard or on dry land first so they can get comfortable.

• Add a favorite toy or treat on top to encourage exploration.

• Use it in shallow water during the first few spring outings to ease back into floating fun.

• Float alongside them (if you can!) to show them it’s safe and fun.

🐶 You’ll be amazed how quickly those “lounger instincts” come back—dogs don’t forget their favorite floaty throne!
