Re: Warning to all Dog Owners!

Good question, AC, and I am not sure! I think as long as your dog didn't chew it, it would be OK.

Not sure if this link may help you - http://www.doggyarchy.com/organicdogbeds

Re: Warning to all Dog Owners!

Thanks Brandykins for that link. I never knew it was so complicated buying a dog bed. I particularly bought expensive Danish Design ones by Susanne Mortensen as I thought they would be better than those beds made in China. But they do have fire retardent in them so I'm just not sure about them. They were expensive ones.

Wouldn't it be brilliant if stuff was made in Britain again, at least you know things would be safer.

Thanks for the warnings Brandykins - Have you posted this on Dogsey ?? or would you like one of us to do so ??

Every year I go to a boot sale and buy about 20 fluffy toys which our two will play with and eventually destroy. The insides seem to be mainly cotton wool and thankfully they don't seem to actually eat them.

But I will try to get them toys made for dogs in future.

Re: Warning to all Dog Owners!

Yes please! You could post it on Dogsey, although I am a member there but if you could do it, that would be lovely!

Many thanks

Oh AC you should be like me - I gave up on dog beds for Loki - she would tear them to bits and then go and sleep on the kitchenette floor, or the bathroom floor because the tiles are cooler for her!! She hated beds! I do have two pillows though and she will "hug" them at times!!

Ah, well I'm very lucky with Asti, Brandykins, as Asti doesn't destroy or chew anything. She still has all the toys she was given in perfect condition. Nothing has ever been chewed. Were very lucky in that way. ~The only thing she does do quite a bit is scrape in her bed, I don't know why I'm sure .

Re: Warning to all Dog Owners!

I am sure then that if your dog doesn't chew then her lovely new bed will be great! I would love Loki to sleep in a proper dog's bed - but she always refused!! Even as a pup! She loves to sleep all stretched out on the floor!

Take care

Some dogs like beds and some dogs don't. Our last dog was like Loki, she never liked sleeping in beds either.

The reason I mentioned the beds is because I was going to give one of Asti's past beds to a friend with a pup, but I have told her all about the bed so she is aware of it.

Re: Warning to all Dog Owners!

I've see this story as well, and it seem that it's only toys that have a bean bag type of filling, when the toy catches fire they just melt. Crazy that they would make a toy like that.
