PEANUT'S is a USA based, Family owned business and a proud sponsor of the Pay a Shelter Pet Forward Program Many ask what is the difference between the models, and especially between the most popular Gold and Platinum Series. I do have a FAQ page which has some more specifics on all the models, but the primary difference between these two series is that the Gold Series models all use a strengthened 600D nylon fabric that allows for maximum pliability while still retaining its structure, whereas the Platinum Series models use a lighter weight, wrinkle free 300D nylon. Neither is superior to the other, as each borrow features from the other, but they are mostly different in aesthetics. HOW TO MEASURE YOUR PET
