K9 Shut Eye: A Comfortable and Ergonomic Sleeping Place for Your Furry Friend

Award-winning design by Tom Kerpert

Designed to provide a safe and inviting sleeping place for dogs and cats

Introducing the K9 Shut Eye, a revolutionary dog bed designed by renowned designer Tom Kerpert. Inspired by the natural sleeping position of dogs, this innovative design offers unparalleled comfort and ergonomic support for your furry friend.

The K9 Shut Eye stands out from other dog beds due to its unique properties and exceptional features. Crafted with ergonomics in mind, this bed ensures that your pet maintains a healthy sleeping posture, promoting better rest and overall well-being. Additionally, the bed is designed for easy cleaning and maintenance, making it a practical choice for pet owners.

One of the key strengths of the K9 Shut Eye is its emphasis on safety. The design simulates a "nest" environment, providing a sense of security and comfort for your pet. Made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), this bed is not only safe for your animal but also for your household. Furthermore, the K9 Shut Eye is built to last and is 100% recyclable, making it an environmentally friendly choice.

The K9 Shut Eye is manufactured using the rotomoulding technique, ensuring a seamless and durable construction. The bed is available in five different sizes, ranging from 400mm to 1200mm, catering to dogs of all breeds and sizes.

What sets the K9 Shut Eye apart is its personalized touch. Each bed comes with a metal tag attached to the top back, allowing you to engrave your pet's name. This not only adds a personal touch but also provides an additional revenue stream for pet shops through engraving services.

The K9 Shut Eye project began in 2007 in Johannesburg, with initial concept designs. It went into production towards the end of 2008, staying true to its vision of providing a comfortable and safe sleeping place for pets.

Recognized for its exceptional design, the K9 Shut Eye has been awarded the prestigious Silver A' Design Award in the Pet Care, Toys, Supplies, and Products for Animals category. This award highlights the outstanding expertise and innovation demonstrated by the design, showcasing its remarkable level of excellence and positive impact on pets and their owners.

Invest in the K9 Shut Eye and give your furry friend the gift of a comfortable and ergonomic sleeping place. With its unique design, easy maintenance, and personalized touch, this dog bed is truly a game-changer in the world of pet accessories.
