Each of these three online startups that humans love, Casper, Purple, and Parachute, sell miniature, pet-approved versions of their best selling sleep products. People who shop with these innovative companies tend to be heavily invested in their overall missions and brands, so it's no surprise that they want matching beds for their pets.
Casper's dog bed combines pressure-relieving memory foam and durable support foam, while Purple's features its signature Smart Comfort Grid, a polymer design that adapts to your dog's movements. Parachute's favors a polyester filling over a foam one.

BarkBox, founded in 2012, tapped in early to dog owners' increasing commitment to their pets. Its monthly boxes, which always revolve around some type of fun theme, contain at least two creative toys, two all-natural bags of treats, and a chew. Dogs (more than 2 million of them to date) can't get enough of these monthly surprises.

Ethique's solid shampoo and conditioner bars cut down on plastic waste and are better for your hair because they're made with natural, non-toxic ingredients. If you care about both the environment and your body, your commitment to sustainable cleaning solutions doesn't have to stop here. Ethique also makes gentle, pH-balanced dog shampoo bars. One of these bars is equivalent to three bottles of liquid shampoo.
