It’s fun to have a dog but it’s no fun when he tries to steal your bed! It is very frustrating to train it to sleep in its own bed which is why this designer has made this mini bed just for the dog.
The pallets were cut and assembled to make a small frame for the dog bed. A small section on the front of the bed was cut to serve as the entryway into the doggie bed. This frame keeps the mattress from sagging and moving out of place. It also makes the area clean and easy to arrange.
This design has a lot of potentials. You can make it as large or as small as you want to depend on the size of your dog. You can also paint it according to the color you want or just use wood stain to bring out the natural beauty of wooden pallets.
And no matter what you chose, make sure that the treatment is non-toxic and won’t harm your dog especially if he is the chewing type.
