Wool & wag


Natural in every way – cosy, resilient, hypoallergenic, insulative – wool is an ideal material for pets. Wrap them up in a warm wool blanket or invest in what will upgrade their sleep.

With these qualities, it’s no surprise many small businesses and champions of wool are creating woollen products for our furry friends to love. While wool-filled beds and fluffy blankets warm them up, wool toys, wool-insulated kennels, and other common products become a more sustainable alternative to the many synthetic options on the pet product market. Wool’s temperature regulation proves advantageous for pets too, facilitating a pleasant body temperature and ensuring a deeper sleep, faster.

Naturally noteworthy
Wool’s natural properties make it a beneficial material for mature pets or those with poor immune systems. For pets sleeping in discomfort, wool dog beds can distribute weight better, relieving joint pain or arthritis. This heavier feeling offers under-body comfort to curl up in.

 

Bacteria be gone

Antibacterial properties repel bacteria, mould, and dust particles for a safer living and sniffing environment – especially for pets with allergies.

A familiar scent

Comforting and warm, wool often reminds cats and dogs of their mothers, attracted to the smell and feel of the animal byproduct.

Introduce with care
Welcome wool products into your pet’s life and routine with care. Make yourself aware of potential risks including ingestion, entanglement, and unpleasant reactions.
