Why a Good Sleeping Spot Matters
Cats sleep an average of 12 to 16 hours a day. Dogs need plenty of rest too. A comfortable, safe sleeping spot is therefore not a luxury – it’s a basic need. But which bed suits your pet best?
Pets That Love Feeling Enclosed
Many cats and small dogs feel most comfortable in a semi-enclosed space. They instinctively seek shelter – a remnant of their wild ancestors.
Cozy Cave Pet Bed
The Cozy Cave Pet Bed – Winter Hideout has a cave-shaped hood that creates a safe, enclosed feeling. The thick plush lining keeps your pet warm, while the removable cushion cover is easy to wash. The non-slip base keeps the bed stable on any floor.
Cozy Slipper Dog Bed
The Cozy Slipper Dog Bed – Winter-Warm Plush has a playful slipper design with a semi-enclosed hood. Ideal for small dogs and cats that love to snuggle. Lightweight, so you can easily move it from room to room.
Shark Cove Pet Bed™
The Shark Cove Pet Bed™ combines a fun shark design with a deep, enclosed sleeping compartment. The ultra-soft plush interior and high walls give your pet the feeling of being completely wrapped up – ideal for anxious or nervous animals.
How to Choose the Right Bed
- Size: The bed should be large enough for your pet to stretch out fully, but cozy enough to retain warmth.
- Material: Choose soft, pet-friendly fabrics that are easy to wash.
- Location: Place the bed in a quiet, draft-free spot – away from doors and busy walkways.
- Anxiety relief: Enclosed beds with high walls help with anxiety and stress by providing a sense of security.
Maintenance & Hygiene
Wash the cushion cover regularly at a minimum of 40°C to remove bacteria and dust mites. Allow the bed to dry completely before use. Replace the bed when the filling loses its resilience.
