Every. Single. Pet hammock I found is $50 or even $100. This is by far the cheapest one I found and that made me nervous that it might suck but I still gave it a shot. I’m happy I did. This works like a charm. Plus all the other pet hammocks are made of cloth but this is made of some type of material that repels any type of liquid (aka “accidents”) which makes it better in my opinion. And the fact that it’s so cheap makes me feel less guilty if my dog happens to ruin it somehow.
