Is Your Pup a Haute Hound? 7 Signs You’re Raising a Bougie Bestie (+ 2 Minute Quiz)

Because comfort should look as good as it feels!

 

Meet the Haute Hound: the pup who appreciates comfy textures, durable design, and a proper nap ritual. If you’ve ever said “why can't I find a dog bed that looks great in my house,” you’re in the right place. Use our guide and quick quiz to reveal your dog’s Haute Hound score.

 


7 Signs You’ve Got a Haute Hound

  • Décor First Dog Parent Energy: If you’ve rejected an “ugly dog bed” on sight, you might be parenting a Haute Hound. Décor bespoke neutrals, quality textures, and easy to clean? Yes, please.
  • Nap Rituals = Sacred: Your pup circles twice, sighs dramatically, and demands head/neck support from bolster walls or your pillows.
  • Sensory Preferences: They seek cooling fabric in summer and plush faux fur in cooler months. Bonus points if they choose your side of the bed.
  • Furniture Protection, But Make It Fashion: You cover chairs, couches, and bedding with throws/blankets that look like designer textiles, not camping gear.
  • Low Profile Access: Senior, large or small pups prefer an easy, low front entry no flops, no hops, just glide‑and‑snooze.
  • Human Grade Comfort: Orthopedic memory foam isn’t a luxury; it’s the standard. You notice deeper, restful, longer naps.
  • Photo Ready Lifestyle: Your photos are 92% “precious angel” content; your social feed effortlessly shows pup images and tips.

  • Bougie Nester (BN): ____
  • Couch Connoisseur (CC): ____
  • Hot Sleeper (HS): ____
  • Adventure Mud Monster (AMM): ____
  • Frequent Traveler (FT): ____

Result: Highest score = persona.

BN = The Bougie Nester (aka “I Only Lounge on Cloud-Level Plush”)

For the design snob who naps like it’s a profession. Think furniture grade fabric, cozy bolsters, and a look that actually complements your living room.

  • PupProtector™ Waterproof Throw Blanket — luxe faux-fur, machine washable, décor-friendly. Shop PupProtector™ →

Real talk: our office doodle once “borrowed” this setup on a photo shoot and refused to give it back. Production paused; biscuits were negotiated.

CC = The Couch Connoisseur (aka “This Is My Spot Now”)

They’ve claimed the sofa, the chaise, and probably your favorite blanket. Give them comfort that saves your furniture (and your sanity).

  • PupRug® Orthopedic Bed — joint-supporting foam in décor-friendly shapes. Shop PupRug® →
  • PupProtector™ Furniture Protector — couch stays cute and clean. Shop Protectors →
  • Replacement Covers & Liners — easy laundry days, fresh looks. Shop Covers →

HS = The Hot Sleeper (aka “Walking Space Heater”)

For pups who hunt tile floors and AC vents like treasure. Help them chill without compromising on style.

AMM = The Adventure Mud Monster (aka “Bath? I Don’t Know Her.”)

Beach. Trail. Puddles. Repeat. Waterproof everything, easy-clean fabrics, and car-proofing that laughs at messes.

FT = The Frequent Traveler (aka “Carry-On, Please.”)

City to suburbs to cabin this pup’s passport (PupPort?) is well-stamped. Go compact and comfy in and out of the car.
