Comfort and Bedding
Every fur baby needs their own space! I'll be honest it is either the floor with my dogs or these great bed options. We've had extremely picky pups when it comes to where they want to sleep for the night. Hopefully, these option help!
These are great for those pups who don't want to lay right on the floor and as a bonus they hold their form very well!

Doggy blankets are a must in our house! Not only does it keep the hair to a minimum on the rest of our blankets but the pups know that this is their blanket. Bonus tip: if you find them in yellow or red your pup will love them more!
