Spruce - the first folding lounger for traveling with a dog

Recently, modern recreation trends have in mind to take dogs into all their adventures. Scientists have proven that when you are absent for a long time, your pet is very lonely. Even if you hire a nurse or ask friends to look after the animals, they will miss. Sometimes this melancholy is so strong that it can lead to his illness and complete refusal of food. Therefore, many Europeans and Americans are now taking their pets to virtually all their travels. Especially for such cases, Spruce from Pittsburgh (USA) has developed a special lounger of the same name for dogs, which in a folded form is a full-fledged bed for their rest, and in a folded - a bag for all dog things.

Features of the novelty

Pets are very attached to us; it is hard for them to experience even the moments of daily parting when we are forced to leave them alone by going to work. In America, a whole institute studies the issues of the psychological state of domestic animals and gives recommendations for the care of them. Scientists spent many years of research, have proven that stripped wallpaper, broken utensils and appliances, and scratched furniture during your absence at home, is nothing but an attempt to escape from your home and follow you. These are real panic attacks, which are the result of a reflex that says, "You are throwing them and you will not return any more". It cannot be eradicated because it is unconditional and works every time you leave your pet alone. However, its effects can be maximally leveled.

The Australian company Cheerble has developed special pet toys - Wicked Ball and WickedBone, which have a ball and a bone shape that work automated and allow you to reduce their stress when you are not near. Novelty can both escape from animals (ball), and chase them (ankle). They can be gnawed, thrown, washed under water, and managed remotely through a smartphone. This allows pets to move more during your absence, reducing the risk of obesity without letting them get bored and suffer while you are at work (more information about Wicked Ball can be found at the link, and see WickedBone here).

Today's novelty allows you not to leave fluffy at home, but to allow them to take an active part in your adventures, wherever you go. A special form of lounger makes it possible to fold it like a suitcase, collecting everything there is for the animal on the trip. In this way, you will always know where your belongings, toys and food are located. The manufacturer has taken care that the dog is as comfortable as possible to rest on the Spruce - it even has special rollers around the perimeter, having a deepening where your pet can hide his nose during sleep.

As a filler foam is used with a "memory effect", which allows you to adjust to your pet. The top cover is made of soft, artificial, extra-soft suede. To increase durability, its surface is stitched. The top cover is removed and can be washed in the washing machine, as well as the filler. That is not all. The whole surface is waterproof, so the precipitation that can happen in the campaign is not terrible for it. An artificial suede was chosen because it is easy to clean. In addition, it is resistant to scratches and derivative conditions, being durable and longevous. The outer sheath is made of polyester and nylon so that it can be used in any weather.

In folded form, the lounger is a small bag that has two side pockets, two comfortable handles, D-shaped fasteners, elastic zipper. All used materials and accessories are custom-made to withstand any type of activity in all weather conditions.
