The Best Bed For Organic Living Dogs

A switch to a green lifestyle can be very involved, as a person and their family change the things they use in their household. But finding the best dog bed for an ecologically responsible life can sometimes be a forgotten element in the big rush to switch to better cleaning products and change the materials used in people’s clothing. Yet dog bed furniture can be made of materials that are just as synthetic or even toxic as anything else in the home, so it’s important to do what you can here as well, while getting something lasting that you can clean easily.

As far as durability and cleanliness go, rather than switching to an all-organic bed immediately, you might go halfway, getting the best dog bed made from recycled products. For example, one of the specials featured on the www.guffly.com website in the last few months is the “Comfy Organic Pet Bed,” in which the center cushion is actually made from recycled plastic bottles. These are obviously still synthetic materials, but you’re keeping them out of a landfill. And the cover of this donut-shaped bed is made from organic cotton. So you’re partway there.

You may not want to use recycled materials, though, especially if they’re not organic. Plastic might still be out-gassing, for example, so perhaps you’ll want the bed for your pooch to be made from all organic materials instead. That may prove more difficult, since even most “eco-friendly” pet bed makers use recycled plastic in their cushions. But Doggy Archy (www.doggyarchy.com) may prove to be your answer, with its quality dog beds made of organic, sustainable and durable hemp fibers. The cushions are filled with kapok, a fluffy fibre made from the pods of the kapok tree. So these beds are completely organic.
