Abstract
A pet bed covering system is disclosed. The system may include a pet bed and a pet bed cover. A pet bed cover may have an outer sleeve that wraps about the pet bed with attachment features whereby the pet bed cover may be retained in position about the pet bed. The outer sleeve may have a pet opening edge whereby a pet may enter and exit from the pet bed. In this manner, the pet may be kept warm while resting on the pet bed.
Claims12
A pet bed cover comprising:
- an outer sleeve comprising a planar structure bendable to enwrap a pet bed and comprising:
- a pet opening edge configured to permit entry and exit of a pet from between the outer sleeve and the pet bed;
- an outer side comprising outward side attachment features;
- an inner side comprising inward side attachment features,
- wherein at least a portion of the outward side attachment features mechanically interface with at least a portion of the inward side attachment features whereby the pet bed cover is configured to wrap about the pet bed in substantially fixed position relative to the pet bed;
- a central bed covering portion comprising a centrally disposed region of the outer sleeve arranged to provide cover to a pet bed;
- a first wing portion and a second wing portion extending from opposite sides of the outer sleeve and extending around the pet;
- and
- an end wrap portion extending opposite the pet opening edge and configured to insulate an aft area of a pet bed,
- wherein the end wrap portion further comprises elastic strips configured to cinch a distal edge of the end wrap portion encircling the aft portion of the end wrap portion at least one of under and around an aft end of the pet bed to form a closure.
