1. Make Sure They Have the Most High Quality Pet Products
Did you know that P.L.A.Y., an eco-friendly pet products manufacturer in San Francisco, CA began after its founder couldn’t find a dog bed good enough for his beloved pug Momo? No matter how far they searched, Momo’s owners were consistently disappointed by the low quality, lack of washable features, and frankly, ugliness of dog beds on the market. That’s why they created a company dedicated to making things better for pets, people & the planet. In fact, the filling in P.L.A.Y.’s beds and toys are made from 100% recycled plastic bottles and they’ve saved over four million from entering the landfills to date! How far have you gone to make sure your pet has the best possible bed or toy? If you’re doubting your choice, check out P.L.A.Y.’s wide selection of durable, 100% machine washable, stylish and eco-friendly pet products.

3. Help Rescue Pets Around the World
You might be thinking, what do rescue pets have to do with treating your own pet? Well, if you’re lucky enough to have a furry friend or two in your life, you should know that loving them is just as important as loving pets who have yet to find their forever homes. It’s hard to know where to start when approaching the task of helping shelter pets, but due to the multitude of giving back programs out there these days, helping those in need is easier than ever – with a little guidance. One of the most effective ways to make an impact on shelter pets is by providing them with a cozy bed to sleep on, instead of the cold, concrete floor found in most shelters. In fact, giving shelter pets a cozy place to sleep is proven to improve their mood, make them more comfortable and help lead to quicker adoption! That’s why P.L.A.Y. created their Warm Bellies Initiative – for every bed purchased online at petplay.com, they’ll donate one to a shelter pet in need! So, while you’re searching for the perfect pet bed, you’ll actually be helping a pet in need too. Upgrade your dog’s bed and help a shelter pet today!
