SLEEPING IN STYLE

In examining the category of pet beds and furniture, the first thing to understand is that dogs and cats aren’t the only animals that enjoy a safe, comfortable location for resting. Products exist for small animals, birds and herps that seek a cozy location for taking naps.

When it comes to dogs and cats, the two most popular pets, the range of products for beds and furniture is only limited by one’s imagination. The materials and quality of today’s pet beds and furniture are comparable to their human equivalent.

Beds are now specifically designed for dogs or cats that like to stretch out, that like to nestle against a wall or that like to curl into a cozy cave-like space. Beds are even designed for specific ailments, such as orthopedic beds to help soothe a pet’s aching muscles and joints.

An obvious key aspect to drive up demand for a bed is its appearance and how it fits into the interior design of a home. Durability and ease of cleaning are two other important factors that consumers consider when seeking a bed for their dog or cat.

Cat trees are a specific item that delivers multiple benefits for a cat and its owner. In addition to providing the pet with a feeling of security as a sanctuary high above its surroundings, a cat tree promotes the animal’s natural instinct to climb, thus offering a vital form of exercise as it moves up and down the product’s different levels.

ANXIETY AND COMPANION ANIMALS

It’s a new world for pets as their owners have been working remotely in compliance with state stay-at-home orders. Eventually, however, those restrictions will be lifted, and pets must face the change as their owners return to their pre-quarantine routine of leaving home to return to work.

This will open up the possibility of stress and anxiety, which affects each pet differently. Prior to the pandemic, separation anxiety was estimated to affect approximately 20 to 40 percent of dogs, according to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign College of Veterinary Medicine. If left untreated, it can lead to behavioral and other health issues.

Signs of anxiety can include destructive behavior, self-harm, inappropriate elimination and reluctance to eat. It’s important that the pet be examined by a veterinarian to check that the anxiety is not a sign of a medical disease. In addition to interactive toys as a form of distraction, there are a variety of calming aids in the forms of sprays, gels, oils and treats that have been proven effective.

SANITARY SOLUTIONS

A common myth surrounding pet waste involves the belief that dog or cat waste are natural fertilizers that can benefit a lawn, garden or flower bed. That theory is far from accurate. The truth of the matter is that waste management and cleaning products are important parts of responsible pet ownership.

Poop bags, litter boxes and their appropriate accessories are essential purchases for consumers who own dogs and cats. And those who keep other companion pets, including birds, reptiles and small animals, are also on the constant search for effective hard goods to help them keep their pet’s environment a healthy one for their companion animal.

When it comes to cleaning and neutralizing products for urine, stain and odors, natural ingredients in this category continue to be in demand from consumers. No longer a niche item, natural cleaning products are trending toward the mainstream.

TailgateDumpsterThe Tailgate Dumpster

The silicone holder attaches to the back of a vehicle with strong magnets and allows owners to store dogs’ waste on the exterior of the car rather than in the car or hanging it from the rear wiper blade. Once home, the holder detaches easily so owners can dispose of the mess.
