What to look for in your dog bed

As fellow dog-lovers, we’d suggest the biggest consideration when choosing a Pet Bed must be health and safety.

We avoided foam moulding beads and anything that can be swallowed or chewed.

The same care should go into your Pet Bed as your own bed. Perhaps even more so, given the limited communication of woofs, growls and whimpers. 

Sleep is important and that’s ensured by a Pet Bed that offers breathability, softness and quality fabrics that repel bugs and fleas, while simultaneously providing comforting texture and support. Practicalities such as an easy machine-wash, a spare inner and outer cover as well as the designer touches are part of the Poppy’s bed experience.
