We source almost all of our raw materials in Australia. All of our foams are made in Australia and the majority of our fabrics and cottons are sourced locally too. This is significant, for 2 key reasons:
a) Most dog beds are filled with dacron - this is a recycled plastic that looks furry and can easily be moved around / flattened. It offers nil health benefit and often contributes to ailments such as arthritis, hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia and pressure sores. Companies will often implore you to re-stuff your bed - this means the material utilised is not long-lasting and will readily flatten under weight being placed on it.
b) Most foams (even memory foams) utilised in dog beds are the lowest grade for cost purposes, and they're designed for secondary use - not for bedding. Most foams are also made overseas, where the chemical composition, design and manufacturing requirements are significantly lower than Australian standards. The risk of toxins in foams is most prevalent here.
We utilise foams made by global leaders in the industry, who manufacture in Sydney. We call it Puppy Sleep Cell and it was carefully formulated by us and our foam manufacturers, It is on par with human and healthcare sector grade bedding - so you know it's made to the absolute highest standard. We have a focus on using the best materials for our bedding - we believe we are the market leader in this. This leads to a product that will not only last, but provide your dog with a comfortable and healthy sleep for many years.
