Just shop and check out as usual. During checkout, choose Afterpay as your payment method. You will be directed to the Afterpay website to register and provide payment details (Visa or Mastercard).

All Afterpay customers are required to make their first payment at the time of purchase. The remaining three payments are deducted automatically every 2 weeks in equal installments from your selected payment method. If you would like to make additional unscheduled payments before they are due, you may login to Afterpay to make your payments early. Afterpay will then adjust the amount owed accordingly.

You can log in to your Afterpay account anytime to view your payment schedule or make a payment before the next due date.

Small: For pups up to 25 lbs.

Medium: For pups up to 50 lbs.

Large: For pups up to 70 lbs.

We love pairing the Asher throw with the Hex Cushion dog bed as a bed topper or blanket for a layer of warmth and comfort. You can also use the Asher throw on its own as a dog nesting pad, or around your home as a cozy throw.

The Asher throw is made from Icelandic long-haired sheepskin. The sheepskins have a unique hair system where the outer longer hairs repel dirt, and the inner shorter hairs insulate and keep warmth.

Because wool is naturally antimicrobial, for regular maintenance, we suggest giving your sheepskin a good shake and brushing it with a sheepskin rug brush (made of metal bristles).

Small stains and minor soiling can be sponged off with a damp white cloth. You can use special liquid cleanser for wool, mix it with a bit of water, and use the foam to clean the stains. Lay the sheepskin flat to air dry, away direct sunlight and heat, then comb it out with a metal brush.

The Digital Gift Card is delivered via email to the buyer immediately after purchase with instructions on how to redeem the gift amount at checkout. The buyer will need to forward the email to the recipient or print it out to gift it in person..
