Default For all you dog lovers/owners!

Hey guys,

My fiance' and I have gotten tired of seeing ridiculously priced dog beds for sale at $100+ for a simply made bed. So, we got to thinking, and began making our own. We've made both our puppies dog beds, and came out extremely well. So well, that we've given thought to making our own and selling for a lot less.

So with that said, before we get to making on these dog beds, I'd like to see if there's any interest in buying a dog bed for there loved ones. The ones we made are about 36-38 inches in length, and about 26 inches in width. We were thinking $25-50 depending on size of bed. One of this size mentioned above would run $35-40. I'd have to get exact measurements, but I'm at work right now and my fiance' keeps bugging me telling me to post on the forum asking you guys. I'll get some pictures up later today so you can get an idea.

So, watcha guys think? Yay or nay? Would anyone be interested?

Cheers,
Adrian

Yay from me also. It's stupid how much the stores ask for a simple pillow case and stuffing. I'll take one. 85lb. Rott/Pit/Hound mix. I'd like to see the bed about 36" x28" for bigger pooches.

I have found them around that same price locally here but I would support a fellow HDforum member first. We have too many right now but I can just recommend that you make them so the filling is removable for washing. We feed our pit a partial raw diet and give her only raw beef bones to chew. Cooked bones splinter as raw will not. She gets her beds very messy when she gets a new bone.

Awesome!

Here are the details. These beds we made are 35 inches in length, and 28 inches in width. Here are a few pictures, for examples that we have for our pups. We can do bigger if wanted, or smaller and different colors as well.

We'll get more into detail on that later with prices.

As you can see, these beds are way to big for my dogs (other pup not shown.. he's got to much ADD! haha), but we wanted to make them so they could grow into it.

What a GREAT idea Adrianvall!!! There is most definitely a market for your Items and I'm sure any kind of biker material would be all the cooler!! ROCK ON!!
