I have previously written about the kiddies wanting a pet. They have wanted a pet for as long as I can remember, and they have finally decided it is a dog they want. I have never had a pet in my life. Growing up, my pets were my teddies and dolls, so the idea of children having a pet is all new to me.  I am not completely against the kids having a dog, but I still think they are too young to understand the responsibility of having a dog or any kind of pet.

Just so you get the right picture, my daughter loves dogs because she thinks they are so cute. And my son loves dogs because they bark 😃

Since I am going to take the backseat when it comes to caring for this pet, they have to be ready to the handle the basics. Which means we are going to have to wait a few more years. While we are waiting for the years to go by, I have been shopping around for some dog essentials for when we do get one. I believe if you are going to have a dog or any other pet, you should provide a great home for it. Which is why I was happy to stumble upon the Raised by Humans website. This brand has some of the most colourful dog beds I have ever seen.

Metric Mattress Dog Bed £55

This designer dog bed by Raised by Humans would definitely add a splash of colour to our living room. It looks very comfy and I love the bright colours on it. I also like the fact that the cover is removable and machine washable.

Metric Designer Doughnut Dog Bed £35

This Metric Designer Doughnut Dog Bed also looks very comfortable. It also has an easy to clean cover made from 100% polyester. I love the design a lot.

Good to have pet brands like Raised by Humans think outside the box when it comes to designing. Most pet brands sacrifice design for convenience, but not RBH. Their fresh take on design sets them apart from the rest of the pet brands that primarily have monochrome and tartan designs, which can be a bit of a bore. A splash of colour is good when it comes to home decor and I think dog beds also serve as home decor as they are part of the furniture as well as an essential for the dog.

Having a colourful well designed dog bed is great for the dog and the home. It adds some fun, character and colour to the interior decor, which is amazing. I also like the memory foam technology, waterproofing features of Raised by Humans dog beds.

What do you think of these items? What age did your kids get a dog?
