Costco Added a La-Z-Boy Sofa Just for Dogs
Costco’s Pet Aisle Has Quietly Become Impressive
Most Costco shoppers make a beeline for the bulk groceries, the Kirkland olive oil, and the rotisserie chickens. The pet section tends to get overlooked. That’s a mistake. In recent weeks, the warehouse retailer has stocked a notable wave of new pet products — not the kind of generic filler you’d expect, but genuinely well-designed items from recognizable brands. There’s a GPS tracking collar with three-week battery life, a water fountain designed to keep cats properly hydrated, a Tempur-Pedic mattress scaled for dogs, and yes, an actual La-Z-Boy sofa built specifically for pets. These aren’t impulse novelties. Several of them solve real, everyday problems that pet owners deal with constantly. Here’s a full breakdown of what’s new, what it costs, and what verified buyers are actually saying about each one.
A Pod Bed That Gives Cats the Hiding Spot They Actually Want
Cats don’t want to be seen when they sleep. Anyone who’s watched a cat squeeze into an empty shipping box understands this instinctively. The K&H Mod Dream Pod Pet Bed, priced at $40, is designed around that preference. It’s a fully enclosed sleeping pod with enough interior space for a cat to curl up in complete privacy. Unlike a cardboard box, it comes with a removable interior that can be taken out and washed separately — a practical feature for anyone who’s tried to deep-clean a cat bed in one piece. At $40, it sits at a price point where the materials justify the cost without overpaying for a name. For multi-cat households where one animal tends to monopolize the best hiding spots, having a dedicated pod per cat can also reduce territorial tension around sleeping areas.
The La-Z-Boy Pet Sofa That Reviewers Say Looks Better Than Expected
The La-Z-Boy Newton Pet Sofa costs $220, which sounds steep until you see it in person. This is a fully upholstered piece of furniture built on a solid frame, covered in chenille fabric, and finished with a decorative dog-bone pillow. It arrives mostly assembled — buyers only need to screw in the legs, which attach to pre-threaded metal inserts in the frame. One five-star reviewer described it as “a perfectly sized pet couch” with a frame solid enough that it doesn’t shift when a dog jumps on or off. The removable seat cushion makes cleaning manageable, and there’s a small storage pouch on the back — useful for stashing a leash or a spare toy. Multiple reviewers noted that the sofa looks good enough to sit in a living room without standing out awkwardly. For households where dogs are allowed on furniture anyway, this at least gives them a designated spot that’s easier to clean than a couch.
A Car Seat That Keeps Dogs Safe and Upholstery Intact
The Petnology Tough Traveler Two-Seater Car Pet Bed costs $80 and addresses one of the more frustrating realities of traveling with dogs: the back seat ends up covered in hair, dirt, and scratch marks. This product installs by threading through the vehicle’s headrests and securing to the seatbelts, creating a stable, elevated platform across the rear seats. It holds two dogs side by side and protects the upholstery underneath. The word that keeps appearing in customer reviews is “durable” — buyers describe it as high quality and sturdy, not a product that slides around or collapses under a larger dog’s weight. For anyone who frequently takes dogs on longer drives, or who simply wants to extend the life of their car’s interior, this is a practical solution at a reasonable price point compared to similar items sold through pet specialty retailers.
