Wicker dog beds are created from woven fiber. This weaving is used to form a rigid frame. Generally, these items have their origins in plant material. However, plastic fibers may be other choice possibilities.
When wicker dog beds come from plants, they can make use of many different parts of plant species. For instance, they may come specifically from the cores or canes of rattan stalks. Rattan is a general term for about six hundred species of palms native to Africa, Asia, and Australasia.
Wicker dog beds may also be created from the whole width of particular plant species. The slender branches of the willow tree is a popular option for this. Reed and bamboo are still other potential material choices. Bamboo provides the added benefit of being eco-friendly.
