FEATURE ITEM ★TEE-PEE LOUNGE★

Today we're featuring one of the many super cool items here at Venicepets - the Teepee Lounge tent! It's really nice and roomy and there's a soft pad inside that is removable in case you need to clean it. Dogs love to have their own personal space and this is a perfect place for your best friend to snuggle inside. There's a bag included with the bed so that you can fold the tent up and store it inside to take with you when you're camping, at the beach, on vacation, or simply when you're not using it, and it's nice and light. Very convenient and very cool!
