You have submitted samples of a sleeping bag for cats and a pet cushion for dogs. The sample item, BD225, is identified as a cat sleeping bag. The product is an open sack with a pile fabric cuffed at the top. It is made up from woven polyester textile fabric and measures 17” across the opening and 16” in length. To use, the cat sleeping bag can be placed where the cat will go inside and play or sleep. The wide opening prevents the cat from becoming trapped inside.

The pet bed measures 18” wide and 24” long. When placed in a cage, the pet bed with soft padding adds comfort and prevents a pet’s feet from poking through the cage.
