We heart Molly Mutt (and Molly Meow!)

We’ve had a couple of customer inquiries in relation to our gorgeous range of Molly Mutt dog and cat duvets and how they work exactly.  I thought it might be useful to elaborate on the product so you can truly appreciate how cool they are.
PetShopGirls currently stocks Molly Mutt (for dogs) and Molly Meow (for cats) duvets and stuff sacks.  We stumbled across Molly Mutt through an online blog and love the duvets because they’re both trendy and eco-friendly (double tick). We’re also currently the only online store in Australia that sells Molly Mutt (and Meow) products – yay us!
The Molly Mutt duvet is basically a doona cover. If your dog or cat has an existing bed that is looking shabby, you can purchase a duvet by itself to cover the old bed and create a gorgeous, bright new bed for your pet. Alternatively, if your pet has been extra special and deserves a brand new bed (as all pets do!) you can purchase a duvet and a stuff sack – using the stuff sack to literally stuff with old clothes, blankets and pillows that you would, ordinarily, throw away (into landfill). You then cover the stuff sack with your chosen duvet and voila – a gorgeous, comfortable new pet bed! You may purchase multiple duvets to change the look of the bed whenever the mood strikes, as you would with your own doona cover.
When it comes to washing, just throw the entire stuff sack (contents and all) into the washing machine. Very simple!
Duvets and stuff sacks are sold separately.
To summarise – why we love Molly Mutt & Molly Meow
·         Gorgeous, bright and classic designs (not tacky!)
·         Eco-friendly (reduces landfill)
·         Buy multiple duvets to alternate and match your home decor or mood (no need to purchase multiple beds which can be very expensive)
·         Machine washable (easy to maintain a clean pet bed)

The Beginning

Where to begin after two years of pure hard work? I can't describe how good it feels to have finally realised a dream that has been inspired by my beloved pets - scaled, furred, feathered and with-shell!

Without sounding like a crazy cat lady, what I love most about my pets is that I know, no matter what, they will always love me unconditionally. And the feeling is mutual. Over the years I have come to appreciate just how much my pets have truly given me. I believe above all, that they have each played a large part in shaping the person I have become - teaching me lessons of love, understanding, nurture, compassion and responsibility. I actually feel sorry for those people who have lived their entire lives without ever having a pet, because they have absolutely no idea what they've missed.

I have dedicated PetShopGirls to all my pets - past, present and future - because without them my life would not be the same. In creating an online pet gift boutique I wanted to give others the opportunity to give something back to their eternally loyal friend - who will always love them, without question, judgement or ulterior motive.

... and let's face it - your precious pets deserve something better than the average pet store bargin-bin number.

As the posts evolve, I'd like to add some pictures of the pets that have inspired me, and I'd love to share customer pet pictures too. So please, feel free to email enquiries@petshopgirls.com.au and I'll make sure they're featured.
