Wool is surprisingly regarded as a material for the winter. Snuggled on the sofa with cable knit throws and cushions. Or as a luxury item such as Cashmere. Wool is ubiquitous in everyones wardrobe including probably your pets, but now you can let your pet enjoy its qualities in Spring with the latest designs in comfortable pet furniture. The reality is that wool is perfect for all year round and for a myriad of applications. It is how the wool is used that dictates its usefulness, and its purpose. . 

At ally & kat we pride oursleves on sourcing the most design led eco pet products in the world.  We have discovered a beautiful range of wool pet beds from a designer in Australia.  As the only UK distributors we are proud to bring this incredible range to our customers. 

The wool has been hand pressed into felt by a tribe in the Himalyas. The wet felting process is popular among crafters and artisans globally for its ability to produce items of great strength and organic shape requiring little or no technology or chemicals. The process and end product is green in its entirety. 

The results here are two innovative , stylish and comfortable designs for cats and dogs .

The first pet bed displayed is a futuristic but snuggly pod. Handmade using the wet felting process. the Sogno pod is a modern yet comfortable secure haven for your pet.  

The second pet ded is a cushion based basket. This offers two solutions for your pets comfort in one. 

The modern design of the bed itself would not look out of place on the cover of Vogue.  Contrast stitch handles. Deep sides and spacious interior. Any pet would find it the ideal , safe haven for 

relaxation and rest or a fun hiding place. 

The cushion provides a funky alternative to conventional pet beds. The beds are grey as standard with contrasting cushions available in yellow, orange, green (shown) , light grey and dark grey (shown).
