Cats and small dogs want somewhere enclosed to sleep — somewhere with walls around them and a single entrance they can keep an eye on. The Shark Den Pet Cave gives them exactly that, in the shape of a shark with its mouth open wide as the entrance. The outer body is ribbed corduroy with a plush grey finish and side fins; the interior is lined with a warm pink cushioned base so your pet steps into a snug, padded sleeping space. The open mouth design is wide enough for easy entry but enclosed enough to feel like a genuine hiding spot. Available in Light Blue and Light Gray, in Small, Medium and Large.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will my cat actually use an enclosed bed?
Most cats strongly prefer enclosed beds over open ones. The enclosed sides mimic the security of hiding under furniture or in a box — both of which most cats seek out instinctively. The shark's single open-mouth entrance means your cat can face the room while still feeling fully surrounded. Most cats adopt enclosed beds like this faster than open flat beds.
Which size should I choose?
Small suits kittens and small cats up to around 3kg. Medium suits most adult cats and small dog breeds. Large suits bigger cats, larger dog breeds (toy poodles, cavaliers, shih tzus) or pets that like to sprawl out rather than curl up tight inside the cave. When in doubt, size up — a slightly large cave is more comfortable than a tight one.
Is it machine washable?
The outer shell and inner cushion can be washed on a gentle machine cycle in cool water. Reshape while damp and allow to air dry fully to maintain the structure. The corduroy outer fabric holds its shape well after washing when dried correctly.
Is it suitable for dogs?
Yes — small breeds love enclosed caves for the same reason cats do. The shark cave is particularly popular as a dog cave because the novelty design is fun for owners and the enclosed structure appeals strongly to dogs that like to burrow. Choose Medium or Large for most small dog breeds.
