These pet beds allow your furry friends to snuggle and receive the benefits of sheepskins! These are handmade European sheepskin beds that utilize sheepskin scraps, so they support the low-waste tanning process.
The sheepskins were tanned using OEKO-TEX certified ingredients and are free from heavy metals and aluminium. They are “vegetable tanned” with natural ingredients, tree bark, and salts.
Many customers have reported that their four-legged friends have found comfort by sitting on their sheepskin. I like to think that it reminds them of their mama and litter when they were babies! It can easily be rolled up to transport to the car, hotels, or other locations.
Lanolin is known to be medicinal and anti-inflammatory, making it a non-toxic and cozy way to help support aches and pains for your furry friends.
Sheepskins are temperature-regulating and may be supportive for pets with arthritis or those who have trouble staying warm.
NOTE: You may notice a seam on the backside of the bed. Seams do not affect the quality of the product.
MEASUREMENTS
SMALL —$120 — each bed varies in size slightly, but is approximately 20”-24” across with a 10”-12” circle inside for your pet to lie on. They are approximately 6”-9” tall from floor to top of the side walls. They are not padded or stuffed inside; they just have sheepskins rolled onto themselves.
MEDIUM — $160 — each bed varies in size slightly, but is approximately 30”-33” x 25”-28” across with an 18”-22” x 15”-18” oval inside for your pet to lie on. They are approximately 6”-9” tall from floor to top of the side walls. They are not padded or stuffed inside; they just have sheepskins rolled onto themselves.
LARGE — $200 — measurements to come!
COLORS — We offer pet beds in cream and brown. Shades may vary as this is a natural product.
SMELL — The sheepskin will have a slight sheepy smell. This is largely due to the lanolin that is retained after the tanning process, and due to some of the ingredients used in the tanning process. Most customers report that their furry friends enjoy the smell! Please note that you do NOT want an unscented sheepskin, as that means it has been stripped of all of the medicinal benefits! Some customers have reported that their pet sees sheepskins as a toy, so please observe your pets to be sure they do not destroy or chew on the sheepskin.
BENEFITS OF SHEEPSKINS
They are soft, they are cozy, AND they have some medicinal benefits. The fuzzy fiber that gives warmth and protection to sheep is actually healing and beneficial to humans as well. Sheepskins are typically 3-4 feet long and can vary in color depending on the breed of sheep.
Sheepskins date back to the beginning of time, with clothes or bedding being fashioned from the skins. Sheepskins were once used to collect gold in riverbeds, prevent bedsores, warm hands and feet in winter, and wrap babies up to protect them from bitter winter winds. Many cultures have sheepskin as a normal part of their bedding and clothing. With an incredibly high signature frequency of 5,000 (compared to 100 for the human body), wool can work to uplift the body and not add extra stress that synthetic fibers can add to our bodies. When mixed with linen, which actually also has a signature frequency of 5,000, the two fibers can cancel each other out and collapse the energy field. Because of this, it’s best to pick one fiber or the other and try not to mix the two or wear both at the same time for the best benefits.
My babies LOVE “sheepskin naps.” It is a phrase I started to use 6 years ago when my daughter was born. She would rest so deeply and peacefully when she napped on a sheepskin, and from that day onward, we started traveling with a sheepskin so she could have a sheepskin nap everywhere we went. My son has napped on a sheepskin every day of his life! Sheepskins can also be used for patients staying in their beds for many hours at a time, and those who develop bedsores. Sheepskin helps relieve pressure from the pressure points and works to regulate the body’s temperature, making it a cozy and soft thing to lie on. When looking for a sheepskin, get your nose into the fibers and take a big whiff! The sheepskin should feel soft and fuzzy, not dry, and should have a slight sheep-y smell. This is a good sign that the lanolin is still intact! If you can ask, try to find out if the sheepskin has been bleached, which strips the fibers of lanolin and leaves the fur very white but very dry.
When cared for, a sheepskin can last decades and can be passed along to the generations after you. They are a beautiful heirloom gift. These come from Europe, where the skins go through a traditional tanning method referred to as "vegetable tanning." The skins are soaked in salt water, then treated with gentle vegetable-and plant-derived substances. They are free from chromium, formaldehyde, eulan, formalin, PCB, optical brighteners, plasticizers, etc. The lanolin is largely preserved in this method, leaving a good amount of medicinal benefits.
DISCLAIMER: These are natural products and, as such, will have some imperfections that make them unique. This may include:
“armpits,” which are on four corners of the sheepskin. Sheep naturally don’t grow fur there, so they may appear to have bald patches!
Matting. As wool naturally mattes in nature to protect the sheep, you may see some matting on the sheepskin. This is naturally occurring in the tanning process and is a sign of a natural product!
Shedding. Some shedding is to be expected, just like with natural rugs like jute. You can expect some shedding as wool behaves similarly to hair!
Small patches of fur are missing. These are not noticeable to the eye unless you dig deep into the wool and hunt for them! Sometimes sheep have incidents occur that prevent wool from growing back (like rubbing against a tree or getting caught in a fence!), and they do not change or affect the quality of your sheepskin.
Small cuts or scrapes on the leather or markings on the back. In the tanning process, the leather is scraped clean. No matter how careful the tanners are, some scratches may occur as damp leather is quite sensitive to tears at that stage of the process! When dried and tanned, leather is extremely durable, and a small scratch or hole will not affect the quality.
