Do you have a canine friend around the house? Is his/her bed looking a little careworn, or perhaps smelling a little, how do you say, rank?

Fret no more – now is your chance to WIN a fresh new Molly Mutt dog duvet. This ingenious idea from Molly Mutt is a sturdy, stylish, all-cotton dog bed cover.

Best of all, Molly Mutt customers pay no crazy shipping charges to get a great big dog bed sent from who-knows-where. Instead, new doggie (or kitty, to be fair!) duvets come rolled up in a compact envelope with no extraneous padding.

You fill up the duvet with your old, unneeded or discarded clothes, blankets, stuffing from an old pet bed, or whatever – et voila! A cozy new spot for your animal companion, that’s easy to ship, easy to wash and looks fantastic in your home, too.

But do the pets like it? I’ll let a photo essay starring Schnauzer Cheap speak louder than words.

First, I opened the envelope, unrolled the duvet, and set it down on the floor in the living room while we had dinner. Swiftly, the dog found it.

A few days later, I spread out the duvet and its liner. Even unstuffed, the whirling-for-best-position began.

I pulled the dog off to lay out some old clothes we were planning to use to stuff it (a perfect use for torn and stained stuff that is not quite up to thrift-store par) …

… along with a bag of sub-par wool fleece I had around for my spinning habit.

It was necessary to examine the duvet cover inside and out.

Next, testing who is dominant – dog or duvet:

Soon, it started to feel pretty cozy.

And within minutes, Schnauzer Cheap was right at home.

Looks pretty good, doesn’t it? Later, I added some more stuffing from an old dog bed, so it’s firmer and more amenable to the digging-a-hole-to-China action necessary before a good nap.

I love that it looks good enough to lie around in our living room or dining room.

Great idea! My dog’s foster mom throws out a bunch of old blankets that get ripped up. This would be a great alternative to buying a bunch of new ones. I really like the title track dog duvet in the medium/large size.

I’m always in need of more dog beds! I really like the “your hand in mine” duvet in square and small!

What a wonderful idea for those t-shirts that need to leave hubby’s closet Annie would love to nap on huge “perfect afternoon” duvet!

Christi added these pithy words on Feb 21 10 at 12:30 pm

This is a great idea! Our dog chews EVERYTHING, so we were buying beds just to throw them away. It was really, really expensive and wasteful. We finally got him through that stage, so I am hoping that this will work. What a great idea!

Were I to win, I think the “Title Track” Duvet. Thanks for spotlighting this great product!

Oops! Okay – “Title Track” duvet size HUGE! i got a big ole Boxer/Bulldog mix. Max!

Tiffany added these pithy words on Feb 21 10 at 8:47 pm

Blitzkrieg said he’d like the Title Track Round Duvet. He’s also jealous that your dog had a bed stuffed with good smelling wool.

Condo Blues added these pithy words on Feb 22 10 at 9:29 pm

Oh, the bird on a wire duvet is the cutest. And would match my living room perfectly. Would need a size small if I’m the lucky winner.

Colleen added these pithy words on Feb 23 10 at 12:51 pm

Too cute and Schnauzer Cheap seems to really enjoy his – I hope that you don’t have to give it back

I think our mini doxies would love the la vie en rose duvet in the med/large.

Thanks!

I still love these and want to get one for Ernie one of these days… let’s see if the random number generator is on our side: Ernie would love a small Mr. Roboto or Bird on a Wire!

@Angelique – You should get a bonus entry for telling me about Molly Mutt!

Your hand in mind is very nice! My great dane Sierra would love to have the “big girl” size duvet. What a great idea for a comfy dog bed.

gina taylor added these pithy words on Feb 25 10 at 8:58 pm

I love the bird on a wire dog duvet, how adorable!! My dog is getting older and sore, so multiple beds around the house is the way to go I think!!

heidi b added these pithy words on Feb 26 10 at 6:07 pm

I have to admit that I just stumbled upon your website but love it. I’ve been looking for a new bed for Pete, our resident canine, and would love the “Perfect Afternoon” duvet. Thanks.

i LOVE these molly mutt beds and are super jealous that you received the title track for your little guy! That one is definitely my favorite – perfect for my little cockapoo Brodie who has outgrown his blue bed from target…. would love to replace with one of these!

Alex added these pithy words on Mar 02 10 at 3:43 pm

Ooo I love the Title Track big. Soo many cats, one giant bed.
