Bruce Kelling and his wife Cici, proud of making a better dog bed, resolved to make long-lasting pet beds and reduction of environmental impact the cornerstones of their company. Big Shrimpy has changed in many ways since it was born, and offers more products than the "Original", but one thing remains the same: Big Shrimpy continues as a recycler of clean polyester waste in its long-lasting, machine washable and dryable pet beds.
