Sun, shade and relaxation: These elements are essential to your pet’s health. Studies have shown that it’s important to moderate all the commotion in pets’ lives—from television, music and children—by giving them their own space for proper rest.
But a pet’s private abode should be a place for sweet dreams and relaxation, not petrochemicals and pesticides, many of which are often found in conventional pet mattresses. When it comes to pet beds, the Harry Barker Hemp Bed made from pesticide-free mildew resistant, antibacterial, antifungal hemp, dyed with earth-friendly colors and filled with fiber made from recycled plastic bottles stands—sleeps?—alone.
