The sofas are low to the ground to make it easy for the pet to jump on and off, however, they are still little elevated from the floor on legs for a snug, draught-free sleep. According to the official website, the sofas are only on the shelves until the supplies run out. The supermarket store is also selling a memory foam pet mat for AUS $19.99.

Pet mansion

While the Australian supermarket launched their pet sofa, a young couple from British Columbia constructed a three-storey dog palace for their five dogs. As per media reports, the three-story mansion is wholly constructed out of recycled material. The couple had started with building only one floor initially, but upon completion, they extended the building to the second floor, eventually a final floor which served as the penthouse. The couple also built a treehouse for their dogs as well. 

The couple told an international media outlet that they were inspired to construct a mansion for the dogs because they wanted them to have a vantage point. They said that the duo has a pair of Siberian huskies named Bandit and Blu, a black Labrador cross named Mama, an Alaskan Husky cross named Bilbo and a blue heeler-pitbull mix named Rollo.
