Loved by both dogs!
Color: Dark Gray, Size: Large - 36”L x 36”W x 8”Th, Color: Dark Gray, Size: Large - 36”L x 36”W x 8”Th
My dogs love them! I wanted something light but comfortable for my dogs (who are extremely picky and don’t like to sit unless there is a cushion to sit on) as secondary beds to easily move around the house as needed. These are perfect and also super cute. I ordered one to test it and immediately ordered the second after the first one arrived. I have a 56 lb. And a 100 lb dog and they love to curl up inside and use the ‘pillow’ to support their head. I ordered the 36” but if your dog likes to sprawl out, I suggest getting the larger one for comparable sized dogs. The pictures are of my 56 lb. dog for reference.

Are they using it??
Color: Pink, Size: Medium - 30”L x 30”W x 8”Th
I bought this bed for my cats, of which I have 4. The bed fits 2 cats at a time snuggly if they do not mind sharing. The size I bought is a medium. The bed is a “dog” bed but the cats love it more than any other bed. It is very soft to touch but provides a lot of support. Its depth seems perfect for cats. This bed is rarely unoccupied 😆. I just bought a second one before a riot starts!

Good buy✨
Color: Black, Size: Medium - 30”L x 30”W x 8”Th, Color: Black, Size: Medium - 30”L x 30”W x 8”Th
I ordered the medium to give my small dog space to play in his bed which he does!!! I laid on it with him watching a show so it had my scent and the bed did the rest💖💖💖 its very soft and comfortable My dog is an adult toy poodle under 10lbs the small bed would be fine for just resting.
