Duo Temperature Dog Bed


Right now it's cold for most of the country but before you know it it'll be summer and with it comes hot temperatures. Wouldn't it be nice to have a doggy bed that heats and cools? Cozy Winters has a pet bed that does just that.

The first pet bed with an air channel cushion to offer both therapeutic cooling and warming to help pets stay active and healthy longer! The Dolce Vita Duo Temp dog bed provides comfort and promotes good health for pets. Hot weather or strenuous activity can leave a pet exhausted and overheated. Normally pets seek the cooling effects of laying on hard tile or concrete surfaces which can stress bones and muscles. The Dolce Vita Duo Temp delivers cool air therapy through a unique, patent-pending air channel cushion and provides your pet with the comfort of a cool therapeutic surface to sleep and relax.

The bed is listed at under $180 and comes with free ground shipping. Now you can provide year round comfort for your canine friend.

For Pets who Travel in Style: Sleepypod



If you always give your pet the finest things, check out Sleepypod—a carrier for Very Important Pets. Marketed as a mobile pet bed, Sleepypod is much more luxurious than your average pet bed or carrier.

What makes Sleepypod so indulgent?

To start—the super comfortable shearling bedding. Sleepypod.com offers a low wattage heater that slips under the bedding to keep your pet warm in winter. Or you can remove the plush bedding and insert a mesh hammock allowing cool air to circulate around your spoiled pet.

Aside from having these useful features, Sleepypod is the coolest pet carrier I’ve ever seen. The round, over-the-shoulder style is innovative and fresh. If you and your pet like to look good, you’ll appreciate the striking colors, flawless stitching, and tiny details like the little lamb on the label.

My favorite part of the Sleepypod is the optional Cloudpuff blanket. Made of the softest material, this pet blanket caused a spat between my cat and dog until they finally fell asleep on it together. It’s great to know that when my pets need to leave the house, they can take this little piece of home.


Sleepypod is a lavish everyday bed that goes a step further. When you zip on the dome top, your pet can take its comfy bed on the road. This carrier also has seatbelt loops for extra secure riding in the car. Sleepypod is the ultimate home away from home.

Head to Sleepypod.com to see for yourself. Use coupon code swank08 to get 10% off your order. Hurry! Offer expires January 31.

Fashionable Harnesses

If your dog is like mine, and pulls away from you when you try to take him/her out for a walk, a harness rather than a collar might be best. I hate hearing that choking sound they make when they would rather pull you instead of walk beside you.

I recently found a website called Bowhausnyc.com. They sell beautiful harnesses for dogs to wear when walking around town. They cost a little bit more than your average harness, however, because they are made off genuine leather and they are lined with cozy sherpa lining. The harness attaches to your dog with buckles that are easy to adjust for the perfect fit. It also come with D-rings to hook your leash onto it.

Bowhausnyc.com
also carries leashes (yes, you are able to coordinate the leash to match the harness), collars, collar charms, travel bags and bowls, and beds with matching crate covers. All of their things are very well made and are made from the highest quality materials.

When ordering directly off the Bowhausnyc.com website, be sure to enter Bow20 from now through December 25th and receive 20% off your order. Remember, Hanukkah and Christmas are right around the corner. Here's your chance to do some shopping and save a little too.

A Place to Rest Your Weary Head

If you are like me, I love a great bed to sleep in. My bed at home is good, but the best bed I ever slept in was in New Hope, PA at a bed and breakfast my husband and I went to. It was fantastic!

My dog, also likes a good bed. He has a few around the house and one that we keep at the shore for him. He is one of those dogs that likes to burrow, so we need to be sure that his beds come with hoods.

Well, this summer, my dog got a real treat. He got a new bed from from a company called Lexie Lew. I have to say... as far as beds go, this bed is pretty great. No, there aren't any bells or whistles on it, it's just a comfy bed that comes with a hood for him to burrow and, best of all, it matches my room decor. Yes, I could get, if I choose, matching throw pillows for my sofa or my bed.

The entire pillow is machine washable. You can either unzip the cover and wash it alone, or throw the whole thing (the actual pillow part, too!) in the washing machine and dry on low. So easy, right? All the fabric are made from 100% cotton. Let's talk about the fabric choices. There is a very wide selection of really cool, fun and decorative prints to choose from. We have the Olive print... lots of colors on it.

Lexie Lew beds were featured in "The Stuff We Love" section of the summer issue of Modern Dog magazine. I can see why. This bed is the best.

If you order today, mention that your read the review on The Swanky Pup website, and receive 1 free matching throw pillow on any purchase of $120 or more. I promise... you're dog will love you even more for getting a bed from Lexie Lew.

Bed Time!

I sometimes wish that my canine and feline companions possessed the ability to communicate beyond ‘woof’ or ‘meow’. It certainly would help me understand when they may not feel well or, even better, they could explicitly tell me what type of toy, bed or food they prefer. And this could save me money. Case in point. When we brought Jax home about a year and half together, I was so excited to go doggie shopping and get him all kinds of cool dog things. Unfortunately, Jax did not share my enthusiasm for many of the toys that I brought home, especially the dog bed. I bought Jax a typical dog bed that you may find in any pet store. Jax barely gave this bed a glance. He sniffed it and sort of pushed it away as if to say, “you want me to sleep in this?”

So, I headed back to the stores in search of bed worthy of Jax. After visiting several stores, I found the Donut Dog Bed.
I am pleased to report that this purchase has been a huge success. Jax took to this bed like I take to a plate of spaghetti, which is immediately and with no compunction.


The Donut Dog Bed is so super soft, that I sometimes wish I could curl up in it. It comes in micovelvet, sueded microvelvet or cotton (Jax has the sueded microvelvet). The bed has an outside bolster that supports your dog’s head and neck and a removable cushion that can double as a crate pad. And the cover comes off for easy washing. Speaking of covers, the Donut Dog Bed comes in 66 different designs, so you are sure to find one that complements your décor.

The bed is available in sizes x-small to x-large, depending on the weight of your dog. The price ranges from $67 for the x-small to $163 for the x-large. The bed can be found at several on-line retailers, but The Perfect Dog Bed is offering 10% off all dog beds with the coupon code “shopping.” Consider the Donut Dog Bed for your dog's sleeping needs, but just don’t expect him to share…

Jax is not sure what Jasmine is up to, and he's not too pleased to see her so close to his bed.

Scorching temps? Keep your pup cool

These past few days in the Philadelphia area have been VERY hot.  Temperatures in the high 90’s are tough to handle, but imagine if you had a fur coat like your dog does!  Not just is it uncomfortable but with the threat of heat exhaustion it can cause serious health problems as well.  If you are going to be outside with your dog for long periods of time then the Body Cooler Pet Mat from Drs Fosters and Smith is what I recommend to keep your dog cool and comfortable in hot temperatures.

The mat is filled with non-toxic crystals that are activated when soaked in water.  Just place the mat is water for up to 20 minutes, hang dry to remove excess water and then it is cool and ready to use.  The est part is it can stay cool for long periods of time each time it is activated and it can be reused over and over again.  Also, though water is used to fill up the mat your pup will not get wet while laying on it.

Available in extra small through extra large, dogs of all sizes can enjoy feeling this cold mat on their bellies.  My dog Baxter used to always kick water up from his water bowl onto his tummy on really hot days to keep cool but this mat gives him a comfortable place to lay and a simpler way to cool his body down.

If you are planning on spending long days outside in the heat you don’t want to leave the Body Cooler Pet Mat at home!

An outdoor dog bed perfect for summer!

Designed for the outdoors, these beds made by Orvis are perfect for the warmer weather. They look great (and come in a number of cute fabrics!), dry fast, and will not get mold or mildew.

The cover is made of upholstery-grade outdoor acrylic fabric, and the inner stuffing is bonded poly fiber, neither of which will absorb water or odors. The inner stuffing will not clump or break down.

I love that you can leave it outside all summer, you can get it personalized, and the rectangular bed fits perfectly on their outdoor bed platform.

Starting at $79, these beds are well worth the money for the comfort and cleanliness of your dog when outside.

Buy a great product for a great cause

Imagine that your dog had to have a serious surgery that was going to cost you thousands of dollars…what would you do? How would you pay for it? That was the same dilemma that Wendy Barkett was in when she found out her beloved Dachshund Daisy Mae needed a dangerous and costly spinal surgery.

Instead of giving up Wendy borrowed money from friends and family so that Daisy Mae could live a healthy life. Now, post-surgery Daisy Mae is recovering and Wendy is making these wonderful Snuggle Sacks to help pay back the amazing people who lent her money for the surgery.

Each snuggle sack is made with a ton of love and 4 layers of high quality fleece. It measures about 20 by 30 inches and its perfect for the dog that likes to snuggle in under the covers or burrow in a warm blanket. The Snuggle Sack has an opening for your dog to crawl inside and my dog Baxter absolutely loves it and peeks his little head out to see what is going on while resting in his own little nest of fleece. It is perfect for those cold winter nights and lazy summer days and will be a comfortable resting spot for any snuggly pooch.

Not only will your dog being super comfortable in his new sack, but they also come in a variety of prints so you can chose the one that best matches your pet’s personality and style. Each Snuggle Sack sells for $30 ($35 in Canada) and comes with a thank you photo of Daisy Mae and Wendy until the surgery is paid for. This is a great product and a great cause and worth every penny.

Hug your puppy in luxury

One thing I love about my puppy Baxter is that he plays hard and then sleeps hard. When he is ready for a nap, he looks around the room for the most comfortable place to lay and will curl up on top of a pillow left on the floor, a lap, a soft blanket or the couch (the floor is a last resort). That all changed when we got the Puppy Hugger bed. When it arrived at my door, I was extremely impressed with how soft, luxurious and well made the bed was. I put in on the floor for Baxter to check out and he sniffed it interestedly. Then he grabbed a toy, hopped right in and since then there is no longer a question of where he is going to take a nap. He even prefers the Puppy Hugger to sleeping in my lap (not sure how I feel about that yet)!

The Puppy Hugger is made out of a pet-friendly, luxurious faux fur and has a padded well in the center, perfect for your dog to snuggle into. We tried the swanky square shape but it is also available in round, rectangle, and with two padded wells for multiple pups. There are sizes to accommodate dogs large and small and lots of stylish prints and colors to choose from. Best of all it is machine washable and will maintain its shape even after multiple times in the washing machine. Soft, safe, stylish and easy to clean…what more could we ask for?

We also were lucky enough to try one of their matching, super soft blankets. It is softer than the blanket us people use in our living room and we put it with him in his crate for him to snuggle in.

I must admit that this is Baxter’s absolute favorite of all of the products that he has tried and I love knowing that he is resting in ultimate comfort. If you want the best for your dog and they like to snuggle, then the Puppy Hugger is a must-have. Check out their wide selection of luxury products and give your puppy the best hug he will ever get!
