Dog Bed No. 1: Bloom

BLOOM dog bed, size ø 70 cm, medium-grey velour
I am so happy with the bed. Cookie doesn’t even want to leave it anymore.
Confirmed by the customer.

Some places touch us without a word being spoken. This dog bed is one such place.
Its blossom-like silhouette cradles the small four-legged companion like a protective haven, while his trusting gaze opens up to the observer. There is a disarming devotion in his relaxed posture—a reminder of just how profound trust can be.

Momo the Poodle
As promised, here is our Momo, looking very comfortable in his dog bed 🙂 Momo is a boy; his name is a bit confusing because his actual name is Jacomo. But since he is black and simply a “Momo,” that’s what we call him 🙂 Momo is already 13 years old but still lively and healthy. We are very happy about that.

 

Dog Bed No. 3: Wave-inspired, gently rippled

Dog shampoo for sensitive skin

Jun 8, 2026 | Dogs, Recipes

If you don’t feel comfortable washing your dog with a shampoo whose list of ingredients you can’t even pronounce, here’s a great recipe for a homemade dog shampoo. All the ingredients are easy to get hold of, or you may have them at home anyway. The quantity is sufficient for a medium-sized dog, e.g. a Labrador.

 

Ingredients for dog shampoo:

  • 100 g rolled oats
  • 100 g baking powder
  • 400 ml cups of warm water
  • 1 teaspoon mild washing-up liquid from the health food shop
  • 5 drops of lavender or peppermint oil

Firstly, blend the oats in a food processor until they have the consistency of flour. Add the remaining ingredients and finish mixing.

Massage the shampoo into your dog’s wet coat for a few minutes before rinsing it out. The baking soda absorbs the dog’s odours, while the oat flakes soothe and cleanse the skin.

You will be amazed at how great your dog smells and how soft his coat has become.

After a soothing wash, the Golden Retriever puppy can relax on the cosy leather cushion

Cat bed for large cats

Cat bed for large cats

by | Aug 10, 2026 | ,

Cats love a sense of security—but they want to decide for themselves how they lie down. Large cat breeds, in particular, quickly outgrow conventional cat baskets. A spacious XXL cat bed gives them freedom of movement while still offering a sheltered retreat.

Heatstroke in Dogs

Apr 23, 2026 | Dogs

Temperatures that are comfortable for us can, under certain circumstances, lead to heat stroke for the dog.

Heat stroke in dogs

If temperatures rise to over 25°C in summer, dogs are more likely to suffer from heatstroke. Since there are no sweat glands on large parts of the skin in dogs and cats, the animals are very sensitive to heat. Sweat glands are only located on the nose and the ball of the nose. This is too small a surface area to regulate body temperature sufficiently. And unlike humans, the warm fur can be exchanged for an airy summer dress.

 

How does heatstroke occur in dogs?

If the dog is exposed to heat for a long time and has no opportunity to retreat to a cool place, the dog can very quickly develop heat stroke. If you park your car in the sun at a pleasant 24°C, it can become a fatal trap for your dog inside within an hour. Never leave your dog alone in the car, even if it is in the shade. The sun moves and the car turns into an oven within a very short time.

In warm weather, high humidity, and strenuous physical activity, well-trained dogs can suffer heat stroke. Rescue dogs may only be used for 15 minutes at temperatures above 30°C. Then a sufficiently long break must be taken and the animal must have unrestricted access to water. To ensure that the rescue dog is adequately protected, the body temperature is checked regularly.

If your dog is a flat-nosed dog (e.g. French Bulldog, Pug, Boxer, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Pekingese…) you should be particularly careful. Even a quiet walk in the midday heat can cause heat stroke in a dog with restricted breathing.

What happens when you have heat stroke?

Dogs dissipate heat by panting. Due to the resulting loss of fluid, the animals become dehydrated and their body temperature continues to rise. From a body temperature of 40°C, the organs are no longer adequately supplied with blood, significant circulatory problems occur and shock can occur. If the body temperature continues to rise, the body’s own protein clots, the animal collapses and, after a painful struggle, dies of heart failure.

 

These are the signs of heat stroke:

  • heavy panting and shallow breathing
  • great restlessness, the dog is looking for a place in the shade
  • rapid pulse and heart palpitations
  • Body temperature over 40°C
  • deep red tongue and glassy gaze
  • Inside of ears are hot and red
  • the animal is exhausted, restless and convulsing
  • Vomiting and diarrhea
  • Balance disorders and staggering
  • Apathy and, in the worst case, unconsciousness

First aid measures for heat stroke:

  • move the animal to a cool, well-ventilated place
  • offer the animal measured water (never force it)
  • place the dog on a damp towel and cool his head and neck
  • slowly moisten the legs
  • shower the animal slowly and carefully, starting with the legs
  • Do not under any circumstances pour water on the animal, risk of shock!
  • under no circumstances use ice-cold water, danger to life!
  • If the dog is unconscious, place him on his right side, stretching his head and neck to prevent suffocation

take the animal to the vet immediately
If you have a heat-damaged dog, you should always and under all circumstances consult a veterinarian! Only a veterinarian has the chance to prevent irreparable damage and initiate emergency measures.

Here are some useful tips on how to get your dog through the summer heat!

Labradoodle Chewbacca

Mar 13, 2025 | Customer stories, Dogs

Labradoodle Chewbacca from Seattle is happy with his DIVAN dog cushion.

 

We just got Pet Interiors bed for Chewbacca, our 14 months Australian Labradoodle. As soon as I placed it on the floor he wanted to try it and since then he hardly moves elsewhere. He brought his favorite bones and toys to the dog bed. It was not easy to find this perfect option. It complies with several wishes:

 

  1. Super comfortable: Orthopedic and the Italian felt is to die for
  2. Modern: it goes with the the furniture.
  3. Good details and quality: the stitch and the filling of the pillow is just right to make it for an elegant giant cushion.
  4. Excellent Service: As soon as I placed the order, I was contacted with next steps. The shipping to US was so easy.

Allergy-friendly dogs – which breeds are suitable?

Mar 13, 2025 | Dogs

The dream of having a dog doesn’t have to be over for allergy sufferers. There are dogs for allergy sufferers that have a low allergy potential and can be kept in allergy-prone households.

 

Allergy to dogs

After cat allergies, dog allergy is the second most common pet allergy. There are currently approximately 7 million dogs living in German households, and approximately 10% of the population is allergic to dogs. This has led to increasing interest in dogs that are compatible with allergies. However, there are no dogs that are unconditionally recommended for allergy sufferers. The reaction to different breeds varies greatly from person to person. And even within a breed, the allergic reaction to an animal can vary.

Allergic reaction to pet hair

What causes dog hair allergy?

Although it’s referred to as a dog hair allergy, the allergic reaction isn’t actually triggered by the hair itself. The protein in the dog’s saliva, dander, and urine causes the allergic reaction. The hair itself isn’t the major problem. Because dogs use their tongues for personal hygiene, the proteins are spread throughout the coat. The hair and dander shed by dogs come into contact with house dust and disperse into the air. The allergens are then transmitted through inhalation.

 

Suddenly allergic to my dog

What should you do if an allergy only develops after years of being a dog owner? For almost all dog owners, giving the dog away is initially out of the question. In this case, intensive grooming by other family members is extremely important to ensure that as little dog hair as possible gets into the air. Smooth floors and surfaces that can be mopped regularly are very helpful for allergy sufferers. When buying a vacuum cleaner, make sure it has a filter for allergy sufferers. High suction power for removing dog hair from upholstered furniture, etc. is also important. Specialist retailers sell products that can be sprayed onto the dog’s coat to prevent an allergic reaction. Success is not guaranteed, but it is certainly worth a try.

 

What can I do if I am allergic to dog hair?

If the desire for a dog is overwhelming, but a family member is allergic, then only a long series of tests is possible. First, visit acquaintances and friends with dogs in your area. With a bit of luck, you might find a breed that has little to no reaction. Or perhaps the dog’s coat texture is causing little or no reaction. The search for a dog that is suitable for allergy sufferers is difficult and time-consuming, but not impossible.

 

Which dog breed is suitable for allergy sufferers?

Allergens are primarily spread by flying dog hair. Therefore, it is especially important to choose a dog that sheds little. Although Great Danes shed little, they are not suitable for allergy sufferers because this breed drools excessively, which spreads allergens. Long-haired dogs are generally better suited than short-haired dogs. They shed significantly less hair (especially in spring and fall during shedding) than their long-haired counterparts, and long hair is easier to remove than short hair. How much hair a dog sheds is not the only criterion for whether it is suitable for allergy sufferers. It is believed that some dog breeds have fewer allergens than others.

 

THESE DOGS ARE CONSIDERED ALLERGY DOGS:

The Lagotto Romagnolo

Lagotto Romagnolo Verdi | pet.interiors Lagotto Romagnolo Verdi

The Water Dog sheds little hair, has no undercoat, and does not shed seasonally. The coat must be brushed thoroughly at least once or twice a week to prevent matting. Grooming should be done by a non-allergic family member or friend. Since the coat grows back regularly, it must be clipped from time to time.

The Schnauzer

Schnauzers also don’t shed their coats, and with proper care, they hardly shed. To remove the dead undercoat, the topcoat and undercoat must be brushed regularly. It’s recommended to have the coat properly trimmed twice a year, and regular beard care is also important.

The Standard Poodle

The poodle also sheds little hair and is not subject to seasonal shedding. Grooming is time-consuming. Daily brushing and a clipping every 5-10 weeks are recommended to prevent matting.

The Labradoodle

The Labradoodle also needs daily brushing and combing to prevent matting. Its sensitive ears must be included in the grooming process. If the Labradoodle’s hair is very curly, you should have it clipped every 8-10 weeks.

The Havanese

Although the Havanese has no undercoat and isn’t subject to seasonal shedding, their coat care is demanding. Daily combing to prevent matting and regular trimming are extremely important. Regularly clean and care for their ears and eyes to prevent infections.

But don’t just consider the dog’s allergies. Its personality should definitely be a good fit for you. Learn more about this at: Which dog is right for me?
