Actually Petedge is considered a manufacturer/wholesaler that chooses to allow the public to buy thier products at wholesale prices. Before people get mad at small dog boutiques like the Haute Dog for their prices, I would just like everyone to know small dog boutiques get to compete with large companies like Target, Petsmart, etc who have all of their products made in factories overseas in mass quantities and put 500-1000% mark up on thier retail prices. You dont get mad at them becuase you can not purchase from thier supplier. Small dog boutiques pay much much more for their products with a lot smaller mark up and have a high overhead with all sorts of business expenses that I never even dreamed about before I got into this business. Also before judging the haute dog by saying they are tripling the price, keep in mind shipping cost are fixed into thier pricing too (this is a price factoring cost people like to forget). For example, say the slipper bed cost $20 wholesale from Petedge, well because of its bulky size, it probobly cost about $10 to be shipped to the retailer so if they mark it up to $60 this is only a one time mark up not 200%. And then out of that $30 that you think they took you for as a fool, out comes a ton of other business expenses (marketing, rent, merchant credit card fees, storage fees, employee wages, website fees, shipping material cost, and many many more business expenses, etc, etc) and I gurantee the haute dog boutique is lucky to make $5 in the end. Sorry if it was a long post, I just wanted to throw that out there. Petedge does have nice products and I highly recommend
