The Ultimate Guide To Pet-Friendly Felt Products

Owning a pet can be a fun experience with them running all around the house. With pet ownership becoming more popular, we sure love our four-legged friends as family members. However, some of the products or furniture that you use at home can cause problems for your pets. 

Industrially made pet products like pet beds, cat caves, dog beds, or toys can cause allergies. In addition to causing allergies, such products are perfect for some weather only and are made using non-eco-friendly materials like plastics and others.

So, whether you own a pet or have a small business related to pet products, there are several reasons to choose felted pet products. From keeping your pet fresh every day to adding design to your room, here are some tips to help you find pet-friendly felt products. 

Few Pet Problems 

Before getting into why you should get pet-friendly felt products, first, let's look into some of the problems that we encounter with pets at home.

Dirt

Your fur babies are constantly seeking to stretch their legs during the daytime. They run wild when you take them out and they will bring dirt and mud into your house. Such dirt gets into your beds if your pets don’t have their own place to sleep. Check out this blog on how to clean your felt products.

Pee and Poops

Nothing can stop when nature calls right? If you don’t train your pets properly, they start to relieve themselves on your couch, rugs, beds, etc. and once they feel comfortable, they do it frequently.

Shedding

Your pets tend to shed during the spring and summer seasons. This can be an absolute nightmare if you let them sleep with you on your bed.

Chewing and Vomit

This is a common thing that has happened to all pet owners. Mostly puppies and kittens chew their beds and other things that they can’t digest which leads to vomiting. This can lead to some stubborn stains that are hard to clean.

How to Choose Pet-Friendly Beds And Toys?

Since frequent pet problems include dirt, excrement, vomiting, and so on, it's important to think about what kind of pet product to use. When it comes to choosing pet-friendly toys and beds, there are a few things to keep in mind.

Materials

Finding products for your pets is not a hard task but finding the products made from the best materials is comparatively hard. You can easily find products made from different materials but you as a pet owner must choose the best product wisely.

Wool is the perfect material for your pet product as wool has properties like durability, stain-resistant, eco-friendly, etc. Wool contains waxy material called lanolin that sheds and absorbs water and keeps your dog bed or cat cave dry. 

Wool felt products are lightweight and easy to carry, so you can easily clean them, unlike other bulky cat caves and beds. Wool felt products are also durable and can withstand the wear and tear and chewing of your fur babies. Learn more about wools in our wool guide blog.

Size

It is true that size does matter. Well, it does for your pets. Your fur babies like to feel free as well as secure when they sleep. Thus your pet needs spacious products as well as a cozy place to rest.

Wool felt cat caves and dog beds are the perfect choices for your four-legged friend. Our felt beds and caves are spacious enough to accommodate your pets easily while the enclosed design makes them feel comfortable and secure at the same time. 

Colors

Picking the best color that is perfect for your pet is a crucial thing for you as a pet owner. Color not only has to match your pet's body color but also simultaneously meet your interior decor theme too.

Having your dog beds or cat caves match the natural color of your pets helps to hide the fur that your pet sheds every now and then. It is also better to use your pet products with absorbing colors like brown, dark blue, etc. which help to hide stains and dirt easily.

Reasons to Choose Our Felt Pet Products

As we have mentioned about the use of wool felt pet products above, here are a few reasons why you should choose our felted pet products for your pets. But before that head out to our previous blog on 5 Reasons Why You Need To Buy A Felted Cat Cave For Your Cat.

100% Natural wool

The wool felt cat caves, dog beds, and pet toys are stain-resistant, durable, and hypoallergenic making them perfect for your pets. Wool felted pet products are not only durable and all but their feel and smell make them ideal for your pets.

Cats are also fond of the smell of wool making wool felt products popular among cat owners. And the perfectly felted pet products can withstand the harshest wear and tear that your pets can cause.

We at Felt and Yarn care about you and your pets. This is why all of our products are made entirely of natural wool obtained from New Zealand. Our felted pet goods are created from organic merino wool, making them one of the most luxurious pet products available.

Eco-friendly And Azo-free Dye

Wool is a natural product making them bio-degradable and eco-friendly. This makes wool felted products safe not only for you and your pets but for our planet earth too.

Pets, primarily cats are attracted to natural colors and objects. They love being surrounded by products made with natural elements rather than artificial and industrial products. This is why wool felt products make the best companion for your pets.

We use the natural dying method to bring the pet beds and toys to life. In comparison to common textile dyes that are toxic to pets, we make our pet products with azo-free dyes making them perfectly safer for your pets.

Best For Your Pet's Mental Health

We have mentioned the need for cats to have their own personal time. Well, pets do need their own time just to relax and feel safe at times. You as a pet owner should know this and leave them on their own for time being.

However, leaving them anywhere in your house won’t help your pet so it is better to give them their own private space to enjoy their time. Their private area should not be in a noisy area and you should be mindful of the temperature of the area too.

With enclosed designs, our felted cat caves and dog beds provide great privacy to your pets. The spacious offering of our felted pet products gives a stretching area for your pet friends. Wool, being a natural sound observer can help to make your pet feel comfortable and reduce their anxiety.

Wool also acts as a natural thermostat meaning wool felted products can adjust the temperature according to surroundings. Hence, your pets can feel cool during summer and warm during winter with our felt pet beds.

Easy Distraction 

Living with pets is always fun but most of us have the same common problem when it comes to living with the pets; the constant chewing on your stuff, destroying your stuff, etc. They also sometimes seek attention from you when you are doing something very important.

It will be easy for you as a pet owner if your pets are distracted while you do your work. Pet toys are an easy way to keep your pet entertained and distracted at the same time. However, buying plastic and other toys may keep your pets distracted but could be doing more harm than good to your pets.

Our felted pet toys are a great alternative to plastic pet toys that contain harmful chemicals. As mentioned before, our products are made from organic wool with azo-free dyes that are completely eco and pet friendly. From multi-design to various shapes, our felted pet toys are safe for your pets to chew upon yet durable at the same time. 

Yet, if you are fed up with your pets losing their pet toys you can also get cat caves with tendrils and knots designed that your pet can play with and get distracted.

Suit your Design

We all want our room decor props and other stuff to match the design theme of your room. This applies even to your pets and you want to match your pet's accessories with your room interior.

Our felted pet beds add special touches to your room decor. With the sleek design and color of your choice, our felt pet beds and cat caves help to compliment the appearance of your room too. 

From natural color choices to different designs, you can find the best match for your pet as well as your interior. From maintaining your minimalistic look to matching your boho-chic look or going all out with contrasting colors, you can find the perfect pet beds you are looking for.

Nothing beats the soft, tender fondling of humans on your pets. They love when you pet them softly with your hand. Our felt cat caves and dog beds give your pet the sensation of human touch and feel to your pets.
