Poolside Dog Model Enjoys his Job with P.L.A.Y.!

by Carrie Boyko, CEB

We've all seen it. Nearly every issue of high fashion womens magazines feature poolside photo layouts. Now it's Tanner's turn! And he's in his element. Even when not in the water, Tanner enjoys lounging by the pool just like a beach property owner loves the view.

Today Tanner is showing off his new bed from Eco-friendly dog bed maker Pet Lifestyle and You, or P.L.A.Y. It's oh so much better than the couch or his skimpy bed that appear in yesterday's post that begged the question, "Do Dogs Need Beds?" Their motivation was a pint-sized pug named Momo. Momo won their heart and inspired this sustainable line of beds that have some very unique features.

Duvets allow us to change our quilt's look with a quick new cover. The folks at P.L.A.Y. believe that pet owners should be able to have that same perk. While they readily admit that most pups are just as happy to sack out on our dirty Tshirts that carry our scent, a comfortable, supportive, and fashionable bed is all the more pleasurable for both you and Fido. Duvets are available to purchase separately so that you can now change up your home's look, as well as Fido's, with a quick switch of the slipcover. What an inspired idea!

What do we like best about Tanner's new P.L.A.Y. bed? Besides the fact that it is made of denim--my fave decorating fabric--the filling is also an exciting element. Sounds geekie, I know, but I get excited about recycled products. The inside of this bed is made of recycled bottles, a whopping 92 of them to be exact. That's a lot of trash that did not end up in the landfill and I'm feeling pretty okay about that!

Needless to say, Tanner is greatly enjoying his new bed no matter where we place it. For now we'll call it a day and get ready for bedtime. It will be dark soon, so that means a bedtime snack, courtesy of Dog Skout Cookies. Am I crazy? Maybe, but then how many of us actually do poolside photo shoots with dog models? If the dog bed fits, sleep in it!

Want to see more? The designs are fun and fashionable, just like your home. You can also learn more about this cool company at their Facebook page and their blog. While you're at it, why not follow them at Twitter and be sure to get all their news.
