Frequently Asked Questions: Mama Zuri Style Pet Beds

Product & Material Safety

Q: What material is used for Mama Zuri Style pet beds? A: Our pet beds are handwoven from 100% sustainable Veta Vera grass (also known as Elephant Grass) and dyed with natural, plant-based pigments. This makes them a non-toxic, eco-friendly choice for dogs and cats.

Q: Is elephant grass safe for pets if they chew it? A: Yes, Veta Vera grass is a natural, organic fiber. Unlike synthetic plastic or foam beds, it does not contain harmful chemicals or fire retardants. While we recommend monitoring heavy chewers to maintain the basket’s shape, the material itself is pet-safe.

Care, Cleaning & Reshaping

Q: How do I reshape my Bolga basket pet bed? A: Bolga baskets are incredibly resilient. If your bed arrives flattened or loses its shape:

Soak: Spray or submerge the basket in cold water for about 30–60 seconds.

Mold: While damp, use your hands to push out any dents and flatten the base.

Dry: Air-dry thoroughly in a well-ventilated area. Note: Avoid getting leather handles (if applicable) wet.

Q: Are these pet beds washable? A: The basket itself can be rinsed with water or wiped with a damp cloth to remove dirt or odors. For a deeper clean, you can use a mild soap and soft brush. Always ensure the basket is completely air-dried to prevent mold and maintain fiber integrity.
