Turning Returns Into Impact: Giving Products and Animals a Second Chance

At Doggy Bathroom, reducing waste is more than a goal—it’s a responsibility we take to heart. One of our most rewarding initiatives is turning damaged Doggy Bathrooms into practical, comforting beds for animals in need. Instead of sending imperfect units to landfills, we rework them into something that brings real comfort to shelters and sanctuaries.

To make these beds even cosier, we’ve partnered with BEDGEAR, who shares our commitment to reducing landfill waste. When they have pillows that can’t be sold—due to damaged packaging or minor defects—we invite them to send them our way. By combining these repurposed pillows with our upcycled Doggy Bathrooms, we create soft, supportive bedding for animals of all sizes.

What does that look like? When flipped upside down, a Doggy Bathroom becomes a safe little shelter for rabbits or chickens—offering them a protected, enclosed space to rest. For larger animals, such as pigs or big dogs, placing a BEDGEAR pillow into the base creates a stable and comfortable bed, providing warmth and security.

We’ve seen these transformed pieces become safe spaces for cats, pigs, chickens, rabbits, and many more. Every item is thoughtfully repurposed to make sure it delivers comfort and durability—because even the smallest creature deserves a soft place to land.

This program between Doggy Bathroom x BEDGEAR allows us to make a meaningful impact in two areas at once: keeping useful materials out of landfills and supporting organizations that care for animals. By choosing to upcycle instead of discard, we’re not just reducing waste—we’re offering a second life to products, and a bit of comfort to those who need it most.

Sometimes, the simplest solutions have the biggest impact—for the planet, and for the animals who rely on us.
