INSIGHTS + TESTIMONIALS

In pet boarding, comfort is critical, but it’s not the whole picture. Safety matters just as much, and frankly, it’s often overlooked. One of the most common hazards? The exposed corner of a standard vinyl foam cushion.

Innovation in pet care doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It doesn’t come from guesswork or lab tests—it comes from listening. And when you listen to pet parents, technicians, and veterinarians long enough, you start to hear the same thing again and again: reducing fear, anxiety, and stress (FAS) has to be part of the plan.

After speaking with countless pet resorts across the country, one thing has become painfully clear: outdated cage bedding is still far too common. Foam pads with chewed corners, exposed stuffing, and short life spans continue to be used—despite the risks they pose to pets and the burden they place on staff.

Talking to pet resort operators lately has been eye-opening. While the industry has evolved in so many ways, one critical area remains stuck in the past: bedding.

As the pet care industry starts to take a harder look at what “quality” really means, one truth is rising to the surface: comfort isn’t a luxury, it’s essential. It’s not just about eliminating stressors. It’s about creating environments with purpose, where comfort is designed, not assumed.
