Distinctive Pet Beds Available In A New Shade Of ‘green’

Oct. 3, 2008 - PRLog -- As we become more and more aware of opportunities to make environmentally conscious purchasing decisions, new markets have emerged for products that are “eco-friendly”.

These days, pet owners are finding it easier than ever to find “green” products for their pets.  Aside from organic options in pet food and dietary supplements, pet owners are enjoying the benefits of eco-friendly pet beds for both their pets and the environment.

When choosing an eco-friendly pet bed, there is a wide variety of options to consider.  Many beds now are available with organic cotton.  This means that these fabrics have been grown from cotton that has not been exposed to any pesticides or chemical treatments prior to harvesting or during the manufacturing process.  For pet owners, this translates to less of a likelihood of skin and fur irritation.  Also, research has shown that skin is more sensitive to the surrounding environment during moments of rest, so the adverse effects of chemical irritants are magnified while your pet is sleeping.

Beds are also available with fill made from post-consumer plastic.  Several pounds of recycled plastic bottles can become soft cushioning for your pet.  Not only does post-consumer recycled plastic reduce landfill waste, but it also provides a sustainable alternative to traditional fillers such as polyester or silicone fiber.  Recycled fill also resists bacterial growth preventing unpleasant odors and allergens.

Lastly, eco-friendly beds are typically softer and easier to clean than traditional beds.  Organic cotton maintains its softness and is easily cleaned in any washing machine.  While your pet probably won’t notice that he’s sleeping on recycled plastic bottles and chemical-free cotton, he will definitely notice the comfort of an eco-friendly pet bed.
