Bacteria – invisible, ever-present, and in balance with Doctor Bark
The natural balance
Bacteria are part of every living being. They inhabit our skin, our mucous membranes, and our digestive systems. Many are beneficial – they strengthen the immune system, aid digestion, and protect the skin from harmful invaders. This harmony of good and potentially harmful bacteria creates the natural balance that is vital for the health of both people and animals.
When balance becomes a challenge
In everyday life, humans and dogs share countless surfaces – sofas, carpets, beds and, of course, dog beds. Over time, bacteria, fungi and microbes can accumulate deep inside these fabrics. As long as the immune system is strong, that’s rarely a problem. But when stress, illness or allergies weaken natural defences, this balance can tip – and microorganisms may become a health risk.
Typical bacterial species such as Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Salmonella can be transmitted through contact with skin or textiles. Dog beds and blankets, used daily, provide an ideal breeding ground for such bacteria – warm, moist and rich in organic residues.
Hygiene at a medical level
To remove bacteria effectively, cleaning must go deeper than what conventional dog beds allow. Doctor Bark products are fully washable at up to 95 °C – and that makes all the difference. At this temperature, all bacteria, fungi and germs are reliably destroyed, both on the surface and deep within the filling and seams.
The principle is simple and powerful: heat replaces chemistry. While chemical disinfectants often act only on the surface and can leave residues, the combination of water and high temperature provides pure, hygienic cleanliness without additives.
At a glance:
- Washable at 95 °C – safely kills bacteria, fungi and microbes.
- Fully washable design – filling and seams are hygienically cleaned too.
- Chemical-free – cleanliness through water and heat alone.
- Ideal for allergy-sensitive households – fewer mites, fewer irritants, greater wellbeing.
