Swizzlestick Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 (edited) I'm looking for a sleeping bag for Daphne. I know whippetwear have great ones, but was looking to spend less than $190. Will if I have to though. So, if any of you DOLers have a sleeping bag specifically for dogs (rather than just a human one) I'd love to know more about it, and love to see some pics! Thanks.

mackenzie11 Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 why don't you make one out of a quilt, you can pick up single bed ones quite cheap, then measure the size you want for you dog and sew it up, would be much cheaper than $190, depending on the size you need you might get more than one out of the quilt just an idea, it might work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bundyburger Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Ohh that'd be perfect for my red terror, pity he hasn't stopped killing his beds yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackenzie11 Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Ohh that'd be perfect for my red terror, pity he hasn't stopped killing his beds yet! wash it in a vinegar/water solution, they wont want to put it in there mouth then, i wash my puppies beding in it and either she is not a chewer - not likely or she does not like the taste of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Gifts Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Why not buy a kids sleeping bag from somewhere like K-Mart? If you have an Anaconda near you they often have very good specials on sleeping bags as well. I know these will obviously be bigger than a dog one but if you can sew you cut it in half and have 2 sleeping bags for probably $25 max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D4DOGZ Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 The Snooza Snuggler is great Buster has one, he loves it. He puts his warm bag under the cover then crawls down around it. It so cute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whippets Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 These look pretty darn cozy. A bit pricey but I have bought stuff from them before and it's good quality. Cocoons One of these is on my next shopping list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I mentioned this to other half, he just said pfft, just buy one already! The snooza one doesn't quiet look snuggly enough The top layer looks a bit too light like a sheet The cocoon from whippetwear is the one I really like The other one that is nice is This one. Hmmmm decisions decisions! Edited September 27, 2010 by Sir WJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swizzlestick Posted September 27, 2010 Author Share Posted September 27, 2010 I ended up buying this one on ebay. Here It's not a very good photo, but I've seen these ones in other photos, and they look quite nice. If it's not what we want, the cats can have it, and Daphne gets another one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corrie Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 I cut off the extra http and looked anyway. Thanks for starting this topic. My sooky lala pup will be loving life in his sleeping bag bed and I might get a comfortable nights sleep as it might help keep him from sneaking under my doona.

Swizzlestick Posted October 5, 2010 Author Share Posted October 5, 2010 Well, Daphne had a parcel come in the mail today. Her sleeping bag has arrived. Despite having just come in from zoomies in 22 degree heat, she decided to hop right in and get cosy. She was asleep within a minute of being in there!

Whippetsmum Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 That looks so cosy WJ, can Daphne get into the sleeping bag by herself? I'd love to get mine sleeping bags if they could get in and out independently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trishm Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Is the base ripstop, or is it a more snuggly material ? Can't imagine my whippies liking ripstop to lie on somehow. :rolleyes: Trish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dju Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Do they actually understand the notion of crawling inside the sleeping bag? I would have thought that they would just immediately chose to lie on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p_stampy Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 (edited) My dog is able to get under the doona without assistance. Flips it up a bit with her nose, put front paws in bed, then crawls in as flat as possible... then gets annoyed if *I* move.

I'd love to get mine sleeping bags if they could get in and out independently. Yeah it's very cosy. She can get in by herself. Just pokes her nose in, then scoots in turns around and flops. Just like she does in our bed She likes to sleep with her legs straight (as many whippets do) and keeps poking me in the back with her feet. Was time for her own bed. She slept all night in it last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trish I'm not sure what I'd call it. It is very very snug and cosy though. The inside at the bottom is the same fabric as the outside (the shiny stuff) with a padded mat inside it. Fabric is just like a normal sleeping bag for humans. Only thing is, the fabric is a bit noisy if they tend to move around. Daphne sleeps like a log though which is handy.
