Those slipper beds are similar but not quite the same. But, Petedge is suppose to be a wholesale distributor site. That is why you have to pay a processing fee in addition to shipping/handling when you order a small amount. I saw that Petedge slipper bed in a local petstore for $59.99 -- that is really a reasonable mark-up. They should be able to at least double their prices in a shop. Course I did not buy it.

Like you, I like to look for places that allow me as a consumer to order at wholesale prices. But sometimes I weigh the cost of everything, shipping and the extra fee and find I can get the product I want for a cheaper total price at retail. Case in point -- Topknot Gel -- Petedge has this for $6.99 -- but then you have to add the $6.99 processing fee and the shipping and handling.....while I can order through another online store for $10.95 with just the actual shipping charge added.

Want to hear something funny? When I just looked at the Petedge site, I have two of those slipper beds sitting in my shopping cart, one in pink and another in blue. When I have more to order at one time, I will get them.
