Just like your real kids, your fur babies deserve cool, comfortable places to lay their heads. Your pets are probably as low maintenance as they come. They require plenty of food, a loving family, and of course a super cool bed to call their very own. You can definitely head over to your local pet store and pick up something cute, use a fluffy pillow that you already have, or let your furry friend take up residence on their favorite piece of furniture. But if you want to go a more creative route, DIY is totally the way to go. The beds on this list range from 10 minute easy to a bit more complex. Whatever your style, there is something here that is perfect for your family and your pet.
