The Demand for Luxury Dog Beds

Ken Marlborough


A pet can be as important a member of the family as a child to some owners, and making sure they sleep well is a way to express that affection. In the past several years, manufacturers have started to fill a growing demand for luxury dog beds for pet owners who wanted to lavish something special on their pets. With the advent of organic pet foods, pet clothing and nutritionally balanced pet treats, designer dog beds seemed like an idea whose time had come.
Do you share your pet with someone else or move her around to different locations? Try the Botanical Bed, a portable pet sofa with lockable wheels, reversible blanket and a flower-patterned pillow. Need a fancy dog bed for a big guy who likes to loll around in different positions, flopping his head and tail over the edge as he does? Try an extra large donut bed in any one of dozens of easy to clean, designer fabrics and a variety of fills from gel to memory foam to cedar. Does your large dog stretch out on your favorite sofa, especially during your favorite prime time TV shows? Induce him to change his ways with the European Sofa Luxury Dog Bed complete with throw pillows and maybe he'll leave your sofa to you.
Then there are designer dog beds with industrial strength canvas covers stretched over high-grade "memory" virgin upholstery fiber with advanced Velcro systems to remove, wash and transport your dog's bed wherever you may go. They come with polypropylene insert liners in case of any accidents, and are completely machine washable to keep them soft and clean for your pet's entire life.
You'll find luxury dog beds with multiple use features and more accessories than you could possibly imagine at many of the better pet shops around your town. Or if you can't find that perfect designer dog bed around your town, there are even more options if you check the Internet. With the vast selection out there, chances are you'll be able to find just what you are looking for.
