What Makes Superior Hessian Dog Beds the Safer Choice for Your Pet

Posted on : 07/07/2025

If you’re searching for a hessian dog bed that’s safe, durable, and made in Australia, you’re in the right place. At Superior Pet Goods, our hessian dog beds are trusted by thousands of Australian pet owners for their quality, comfort, and eco-friendly design.

As a pet owner, you’d do anything to keep your furry friend safe and comfortable. But did you know that not all hessian / jute dog beds are created equal? Some imported hessian /jute products contain harmful chemicals, like formaldehyde, that could put your pet’s health at risk.

At Superior Pet Goods, we’ve spent years working with trusted suppliers to source and develop the highest quality jute / hessian products. Our commitment to safety, durability, and ethical practices ensures that every hessian product we sell meets the highest standards for your pet’s well-being.

The Problem: Harmful Chemicals in Some Hessian Products

Hessian is a popular material for dog beds and garden products because of its durability and breathability. However, not all hessian is treated the same way.

Some imported hessian products are treated with formaldehyde, a chemical used to make fabrics more resistant to wrinkles, shrinking, and water. While this might sound convenient, it comes at a cost: formaldehyde has been linked to skin irritation, respiratory issues, and long-term health concerns for both pets and humans.

When your dog sleeps, stretches, chews, or licks their bed, they’re in direct contact with the materials used. That’s why it’s so important to know what’s in your hessian.

Our Solution: Safe, Non-Toxic Hessian Products

At Superior Pet Goods, we do things differently. Our hessian dog beds and products are:

✔️ Treated with natural vegetable oils and pet-safe vegetable dyes, not harsh chemicals like formaldehyde.
✔️ Tested for safety, ensuring they’re free from harmful substances.
✔️ Made with care, using ethically sourced materials.
✔️ For our Hessian Mats, we go a step further by filling them with Australian-made foam, earning them the Australian-made logo. This combination ensures both quality and safety.
