Vinegar has powerful antibacterial properties that will help to ensure your dog’s bed is a sanitary space for your pup to rest. Vinegar is also effective at removing odours, which is typically a much-needed thing when dealing with your dog’s bed. If your dog has sensitive skin, don't add the essential oil. Vinegar alone will work sufficiently to clean and deodorize between washing of the bed itself. The essential oil is more for your sensibility! If you do want to be sure of killing bacteria, make sure you wash in hot water - greater than 60 degrees.
Bear in mind that your dog's travels are what he takes to his bed. And most dogs cover a variety of smells, squirts and sniffs in a day. Just saying.
