FIELD OF INVENTION The present invention relates to a pet bed. The present invention has particular but not exclusive application for a pet bed having a name tag. The patent specification describes this use but it is by way of example only and the invention is not limited to this use.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Pet beds are used for pets' napping during the day and sleeping at night. Normally a pet bed can keep a pet warm, support arthritic joints and prevent calluses. It is recommended that a pet has a pet bed. A pet bed can provide an individual space for the pet. A pet bed can also be brought when travelling, so that the pet feels comfortable and is able to sleep somewhere familiar. Typically a pet bed is easy to wash. For multiple pets, there are typically multiple individual beds. A problem with this is that it is difficult to determine which pet bed is used by which pet. Another problem with this is that it is easy to transfer diseases and parasites if a pet bed is used by a different pet.
