Pet owners generally love to treat their best friends well, and pet beds are a reflection of the continuing trend.

Kanary Can Source Any Pet Bed
There are all kinds of pet beds you may want to source, and the market continues to develop new and exciting products every day. If you want to source a pet bed (or similar product) that isn't on this list, contact us! Kanary can source any kind of pet bed, including newer designs or designs that you've made yourself. Fill out our online form, and we'll get started finding you a factory partner!
Before we start searching for a factory, our team makes sure that we understand the entirety of your sourcing needs. Kanary discusses the specifics of your pet bed, any specific features or materials you want, and we make sure that there aren't common partner products that may be a good fit. We also discuss branding considerations, customizations to generic products, and graphic design needs.
After Kanary confirms the specifics of what you need, we begin a supplier search. We start with 30-50 options, and narrow down factory choices based on pricing, lead times, expertise, production capacity, and general quality. Once our team narrows down the choices to around 5-6 factories, we begin a more thorough vetting procedure.
Kanary requests and schedules sample shipments from final factory candidates and reviews their quality with you. We also facilitate communication between you and factories for product adjustments, and our team conducts in-person inspections of factories to make sure quality control procedures are in place. Kanary consults with you to make a final supplier decision, and then moves to mass production.
Kanary supervises all aspects of mass production, including implementing and maintaining quality control procedures, responding to production issues, and acting as a liaison between factory managers and your business. Our team makes sure that your products are stored safely until the entire order is complete, and we help prepare for sea freight shipping.
Kanary books sea freight shipping and containers on your behalf, and we monitor shipments as they arrive at customs. Our team helps you know what customs documents to have to avoid unnecessary delays, and we help to navigate unavoidable customs problems as they arise. Once products clear customs, we schedule delivery with a domestic freight partner for final shipment.
Kanary continues to monitor domestic delivery until it arrives at its final destination. We remain available to act as a liaison between you and the factory to resolve product issues, as well as helping to maintain long-term business relationships between you and factories.
There are a lot of material types that an orthopedic dog bed can be made out of (including inflatable, air-filled designs, cardboard or egg cart filler, as well as genuine memory foam).

If you need help finding a supplier that will make your pet bed out of memory foam, Kanary can help. We have excellent relationships with all kinds of suppliers, and we know how to vet new suppliers in China to find you a perfect match for making the kind of dog bed you need.
