Dog Bed Sizing Guide

Dog Bed Sizing Guide - Find the Right Size for Your Pooch.

 

Dogs may be classified as small medium or large (+ x-large)

Small dogs weigh anywhere between 1 to 10 kg and the recommended that size would be 60 cm x 45 cm

Medium dogs would weigh between 10 to 25 kg. The typical bed size would be around 70 cm x 55cm Large dogs could be classified as weighing 25kg to 35kg Their beds measure around 90 cm x 60 cm

Extra large dogs would weigh in excess 40 kg and beds could be in excess of 100 cm by 65 cm

It Is common for a dog to curl up in one spot when asleep. This insures that they feel safe and protected. The ideal bed might be a round bed with site padding for them to curl up against - this gives them extra padding to rest their head. The other style of bed is the square bed either as a cushion or with protective sides which gives them a sense of security and warmth.

 



Save your furniture

I read some info a while ago as to why Paperboard Scratchers help to ‘save’ furniture.
Cat’s like to mark their territory and when they scratch furniture their claws secrete a scent which makes them return.
When cats smell the paperboard it has the scent of the trees  and reminds them of the outdoors,  as the paperboard is made from trees.  As you know, cats have an incredible sense of smell and they relate to the paperboard scratchers which gives them a sense of wellbeing when they are either scratching or sleeping on it.
The corrugated cardboard helps keep in the warmth in winter and is cooling in summer….so they really are an ‘enrichment’ functional piece of furniture for your cats well being.
They then return to the scratchers and leave your furniture alone.

Herringbone PODS are here

After many months the limited edition Herringbone PODS have arrived.

Every once in a while Jed makes some special PODS and we were lucky enough to get some of these just in time for Christmas.

The Pod offers the security of a mountaintop cave with way more style. It serves as your pet's own personal sanctuary - a perfect place for curling up to snooze, hide, or reign supreme.

Lucky to get these as they are sold out in the US....thanks Jed!

Get them while they last.

Hepper Herringbone PODS on their way

I have just placed an order for the Herringbone PODS. Every once in a while, Jed Crystal, the designer and owner of Hepper produces a limited run of these exquisite pieces.

Due to several requests, I decided to place an order when these next became available.

I expect that these will be here by the second week of November so I shall keep you all posted.

Hepper PODS are POPULAR!


Just wanted to let you know I have ordered another Hepper Pod.  

My cats are fighting over the one I purchased recently so its time for another one.  My big boy ragdoll fits in and loves it.  They are a well made product and worth every penny.

Looking forward to receiving the next one to stop the cat fights ;)

Cheers
