When you select dog or cat bedas well as assessing the correct size and the correct location in the house that allows the furry friend comfort to royaltywe must not forget that it – like a piece of furniture or a sofa – must fit nicely into the environment, captures finishes and colors or contrasts with them in a pleasant way.
If the welfare of the animal is always to be given priority, a kennel beautiful – as well as pleasant and welcoming – it can remain visible in the living room and satisfy our aesthetic senseprovided it is chosen with care.
Sizes, comfort, aesthetics are not the only factors to be considered. It is also very important that it is durable and easy to clean.
A useful tip is to consider choosing one temporary kennel, especially when the animal is a puppy, not so much because as it grows it may no longer be sufficient in size (in advance, not if you are always fully aware of the exact size you need), but also because a young dog and cat could also ruin it, nibble it a little or ruin it. For the passport version, therefore, it may be convenient to choose a cheaper and more durable model. However, at a later stage, when the dog’s or cat’s nature and habits are better known, the right kennel can be assessed with full knowledge of the facts.
