PetLINENS Pet Bed Giveaway

by Kristen Seymour (Subscribe to Kristen Seymour's posts): Feb 1st 2010 3:00PM Filed Under:

What do you look for in a pet bed? Our pets want it to be soft and snuggly, while we want covers that are removable, easy to wash, and available in lots of fun patterns. And petLINENS fits the bill perfectly.

We had a chance to try out a petLINENS bed, testing the XL rectangle so two dogs could fit on it at the same time. The cushion is super soft (don't be fooled when you see it in the box; it actually expands once you take it out), and the plush covers are pretty, particularly the new giraffe print (though they have lots of more traditional colors and patterns available as well).

This week, we're giving away a petLINENS bundled bed set to one lucky Paw Nation reader. The bed sets include two removable and machine-washable slipcovers, and one cushion, available in an extra-large rectangle, or 32" round. The winner will select one cushion and two slipcovers from any of petLINENS' collections, or mix-and-match across collections to find their perfect pet style!

To enter, leave a confirmed comment below telling us where you'd keep your dog's new petLINENS bed.

The comment must be left before 5 p.m. EST on Friday, Feb. 5, 2010.

You may enter only once.

One winner will be selected in a random drawing.

One winner will receive a petLINENS bundled bed set in the style and color/pattern of his or her choice (valued at up to $85).

Open to legal residents of the 50 United States, the District of Columbia and Canada (excluding Quebec) who are 18 and older.

Pet Product Review: Dog Gone Smart Bed (It's Smart for Cats Too!)

My cats love a good place to curl up and nap (the more expensive or delicate the surface, the better), but there is a continuous battle between me -- the neat-freak owner -- and the hair that inevitably builds up on their favorite perches. I've had to retire many a standard cat bed after hair became too thickly mashed and entwined in the bed's fibers, despite my brushing and rubbing with sticky wipes.

Enter the Dog Gone Smart Bed, which, while technically was designed for dogs, is a great option for fur-fighting cat owners too. The patented NanoSphere material boasts anti-odor and anti-stain properties (great for dog owners), but the real innovation is how easy it is to remove hair from it. A month's worth of my two cats' hair was easily removed with a few swipes of damp paper towel, which makes me wish everything in my apartment (and my closet!) was upholstered in the fabric.

As advertised on the company's Web site, both ketchup and honey easily slid off with a quick run under the faucet, and of course, water beads right off without absorbing into the fabric. They company also claims it's easy to cancel out smells and stains from bed-wetting, but I thankfully haven't needed to test the veracity of that claim.
