Complete Eco-friendly Dog Beds: Covers & Filling
A double-dose of Eco-friendliness, with both cover and filling made from more planet-friendly options.
Recycled + Upcycled
Greener Pup: Pup Beds
​
Looking to do good for both pups and planet, Greener Pup creates a variety of dog beds using filling made from recycled post-consumer plastics and covers from upcycled material (designer remnants and ends otherwise headed for the landfill). And 100% of their profits go to Ace of Hearts dog rescue, placing dogs in new homes.
​
Available in four styles and four sizes, you're sure to find just the right comfort style for your pup at Greener Pup. Round and round "Cuddle Bug" beds range in size from 24 inches in diameter to 54 inches (~$73 to $135) and rectangles (with and without cuddler sides) from 20 x 28 inches all the way to 48 x 54 inches (~$75 to $135), inclusive of cover and fill. Covers are machine washable and available in a wide variety of solids and patterns. Or, for a truly customized look, you can send in a photo of your pup and room where the bed will be going, and their designer will choose the best color and pattern for your dog and décor.

​
A straight-forward eco-conscious choice for a dog bed, this rectangular pillow uses a polyfill made from recycled post-consumer plastics for the filling, and certified organic cotton for the cover.

​
Pink and grey are the available colors at this writing, with a zipper on the cover for removing at wash time. Priced at $129 on the All Natural Dog Beds website, you may also want to pick up an organic cotton blanket for pup to snuggle into at nap time.
Wool + Organic Cotton

The inner cover provides a short-term usable bed for pup (indoor use recommended), while the outer cover can be zipped off and machine washed and dried.
​
