For many pet parents, it can be enough of a challenge to find a pet bed that is ultra-comfortable, stylish and suits a wide variety of needs, let alone an eco-friendly pet bed that does its part to support the environment. GEMMA sets itself apart as a fully washable pet bed that boasts a design made with recycled plastic bottles from the inside and out—including its yarn and hypoallergenic eco-fiber filling. While the bed boasts a gray fabric to conceal pet hair, the design can be fully taken apart and washed in its entirety for a deep cleaning as needed.
Additionally, a portion of the company's profits help to support organizations like the Best Friends Animal Society, a no-kill pet sanctuary.
GEMMA is now being introduced to the world on Indiegogo after multiple rounds of prototyping.
