Make Your Home a Haven for Your Animal Companions by Shopping at These Stores
Decorating your home is an art. It’s all about balancing style with function and selecting items that are good for you and your family, including your animal companions. They depend on you to choose the best products for them and keep them safe and comfortable.
However, your design choices can impact more than just your household. Whether you’re shopping for a new dog bed, cat tree, or carrier, you can make the compassionate decision to purchase items free from any animal-derived materials and support animal-friendly brands.
Looking for ideas? We’ve compiled this list to help steer you in the right direction.
The Comfiest Beds for Dogs and Cats Aren’t Made With Wool or Down
Sheep are fun-loving animals who enjoy spending time with their friends. Geese and ducks are social animals who develop deep relationships with each other. Say no to animal suffering by choosing a companion bed that isn’t made with wool or stuffed with down. We love the Avocado Green Mattress Organic Dog Bed so much that we even gave it an award. This modern-style bed features an innovative “PETA-Approved Vegan” mattress that’s organic, anti-odor, antimicrobial, and made from coconut husk with a waterproof cotton liner and a removable cover. Plus, there’s an option to add a bolster pillow or a bed frame to complete the look.
There’s a Cat Tree for Every Type of Aesthetic
Cats love to climb, scratch, and nap, so a comfy cat tree is a must-have item. Happy & Polly’s selections include many unique furniture styles—from sleek and modern designs to fun and colorful options. Whatever your interior design aesthetic is, you can find a tree that will fit right in.
Is Your Animal Companion Used to a Life of Luxury? They Need This
French brand Le Tapis Rouge Paris creates luxurious “PETA-Approved Vegan” faux-fur rugs for cats and dogs. They are available in various colors and sizes and even come with a cow-friendly, leather-like handle for easy transport. The faux rabbit fur is super-soft and made without harming any playful, sentient rabbits. It’s even machine-washable. Is this a necessary purchase? We think so.
For Those Times When You Have to Leave the House …
… do it in style and with safety in mind. BK Atelier’s carriers feature the brand’s signature vegan Perflow material, which allows for breathability, ventilation, and visibility. In addition to being great for your dog, it’s also friendly to cows, since it isn’t made of leather (their skin).
Your cat or dog may also enjoy a jaunt around town in a stroller, such as one from Mr. Peanut’s.
If your dog wants to be as close to you as possible, you can try wearing a SNUGGIT around the house or even on the go (paired with a secure harness and leash, of course).
Are Your Animal Companions a Bit Smaller?
Guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters, rats, and other small animal companions require as much—or sometimes even more—care and attention than dogs and cats do. If you’re caring for one of these animals in your home, you’re responsible for providing them with everything they need and more to ensure their safety, comfort, and health. LuftPets, a PETA Business Friend, sells cage liners that will help keep your small animal companion’s home hygienic and comfortable. LuftPets’ liners, which are washable and reusable, can be used with other bedding or as covers to keep your furniture or car seats fresh.
These are just a few options for making your home an even better space for your animal companions. For more tips on shopping for animal-friendly home goods and to learn more about animal-free materials, check out the Humane Home section of our website.
