About The Sheepish Dog™:
Located in the West of Ireland, The Sheepish Dog™ designs and sews premium pet beds and blankets from lovely wool fabrics woven in Ireland. Their beds are then filled with wonderful wool fiber that is sheared, processed and filled on their farm outide of Newport, Co Mayo, Ireland. Made on at a time, these products align wonderfully with our goal to provide the very best to our canine counterparts. We knew from our own dogs that wool was a preferred sleeping surface, so we were delighted to partner with The Sheepish Dog. While we realize they are made in Ireland and not made in the USA, we believe the benefits of wool make the partnership worth it – inside and out.
After considerable testing, we found that wool was indeed a favorable filling that dogs preferred over non-wool filled beds. The benefit are amazing – beginning with the fact that a sheep grows a fleece every year, so sustainable is a given. But wool also offers natural benefits like adapting to your body temps – cool in summer and warm in winter. The natural fibers are also anti-microbial and anti-bacterial - translating to no doggie odor in your pet’s bed and as a result require washing only when they are spilled upon or an accidental doggie incident occurs. Wool is fire retardent as well. But perhaps the most important benefit (that we already know from our wool Dawg Tired bed covers) is that dogs LOVE wool.
The Sheepish Dog™ dog beds are tailored by their own, highly skilled sewing team in Newport, using beautiful Irish-woven wool fabrics, machine-washable, dry-finish waxed cotton canvas and filled with their very own blend of locally sourced wool that has been processed in their fibre mill located just outside of Newport, Ireland. They are 100% Irish-owned and their dog beds are 100% Irish-made and filled with pure wool shorn from sheep that graze in the pastures, bogs and rocky hillsides of Co. Mayo, Ireland.
The Sheepish Dog™ products are shipped directly to your door from Ireland, orders under $800 are import tax/duty free too! Please allow a few extra days for delivery window as the carton size does not lend itself to express shipping.
