A Love Affair: Bean Bags For Pets

Animals have a natural instinct to nest. They need to create a sleeping area that feels safe and comfortable. My friend had a pregnant dog who wouldn't stop stealing sweaters, socks, and whatever knit thing she could get her mouth around to make a nest. I gave her a bean bag chair and problem solved! That mama dog was in love.

My theory is that bean bag chairs for pets are easy to "dig" in to some extent, since the filling inside can be moved around. This gives your pet the sensation of moving sticks and leaves around like his ancestors once did. I also think that my dogs like to be elevated too, since it's either the bean bags or my sofa or my bed. And, when the perfect depression is made in the center, the animal is perfectly cuddled and warm.

One of my dogs does something super cute - after he's done creating his nest, he sometimes gets out of it, does a complete circle around the bean bag as if to inspect his work, climbs back in and lays down belly up. He absolutely adores his bean bag!
