With features like a mesh ventilation panel, internal collar clip and spot to stow treats, it was made with pets in mind.

Tea time can be a mesmerizing ritual with these blooming tea flowers. Each flower opens and grows as it steeps, releasing fragrance and flavor into your brew.

Serve in a glass tea pot to really enjoy the aesthetics.

It’s easy to use and is adjustable to hang at the right height from a doorknob or railing. It packs up for on-the-go use, too, so you can enjoy a relaxing stretch just about anywhere.
