ProEdge™ & ZenEdge™ Provide Environmental Enrichment

The “Fear Free” initiative defines a stressor as “any experience,
environment, or inanimate or living object that disrupts the body’s
normal state of functioning”.

Based on the information about stressors, it is possible to consider how
a raised cot might contribute to a dog’s anxiety in certain situations:

• Lack of Comfort: While raised cots are designed to be durable and easy
  to clean, they are not able to provide the same level of comfort and
  security as a ProEdge™ pet bed or ZenEdge™ cushion with high-sides
  and cozy corners.
• Unfamiliarity: If a dog is not accustomed to elevated beds, the
  unfamiliarity of a raised cot could cause some apprehension.
• Instability: Some dogs may feel unsteady or insecure on a raised
  surface, especially if they are not used to it.

Orthopedic Support:
Unlike raised cots that may lack proper orthopedic support, ZenEdge™
Comforting Cushions are crafted with memory foam, sides and corners
promoting long-term joint health and comfort for dogs of all ages.

The “Fear Free” initiative encourages boarding facilities to create
environments that minimize stressors by removing the triggers.

A ProEdge™ pet bed or ZenEdge™ cushion provides a positive association
environment by creating a safe and calming space for the dog to curl or
lean, avoiding potential anxiety.
