GiGwi Place Covered Bolster Pet Bed with Semi-Enclosed Hood

The GiGwi Place Covered Bolster Pet Bed puts a semi-enclosed hood over a bolstered cushion base. It is aimed at the pets who never settle in an open bed -- the shy ones, the easily startled ones, and the ones who try to get under a blanket every time they lie down.

Key Features

• Semi-enclosed hood: A roof and partial walls, for a pet who wants to be covered rather than on display.
• Bolster base: Raised sides give the head and neck something to rest against.
• Cushioned floor: Keeps a pet off cold, hard tiles, which matters most for older joints.
• Burrowing instinct: Dogs and cats are den animals, and a covered bed gives them somewhere that feels defensible.
• One size: A single size, suited to small pets.

About the GiGwi Place Series

Place is GiGwi's bedding and pet furniture line -- cushions, mats, bolster beds and cat houses, sold in several styles, sizes and colourways so you can match the shape to how your pet actually sleeps.

Who A Hooded Bed Suits

• Good for shy or nervous pets, pets who burrow under blankets, and small dogs and cats who feel the cold.
• Less good for pets who sprawl, pets who overheat easily, and anyone who has refused a covered bed before.
• In a warm climate, a hooded bed holds heat. If your home runs hot, a flat mat is the kinder choice.

Helping A Pet Settle In

• Put it where your pet already chooses to sleep, not where you would prefer the bed to be.
• Fold the hood back for the first few days if your pet hesitates to go in.
• Put a worn t-shirt inside. Your scent does more than any amount of coaxing.

Good To Know

• Wash the cover on a cool cycle and air dry it. Hot washes and tumble drying shrink the cover and flatten the filling, and a shrunken cover will not go back on.
• Wash bedding every week or two, more often for a dog with allergies or a skin condition. Bedding is where flea eggs and dust mites collect, so it matters more than most people expect.
• A bed is not a chew toy. Puppies and determined chewers will open a seam and swallow the filling, which is a genuine blockage risk, so supervise a new bed before you leave a pet alone with it.
• In a hot room a hooded bed can get warmer than a pet wants. Give them an open option as well and let them choose.
• Not a children's toy. Keep it with the pet's things.
