Vet Bed is one of the softest bedding materials available. An absolute must for whelping boxes!
Our vetbed is MUCH thicker than anything you will find in the big box-stores! A pile length of over 1" means your pet will stay high and dry. Made from 100% polyester, the vet bedding is hygienic, non-irritant, and non-allergenic. You will not find anything this soft, comfortable and durable anywhere else! In addition to being soft and functional it can be rolled up for storage or transportation and will last for many years.
Vetbed can be easily cut to fit your exact needs! Buy a piece that fits your needs - or buy a roll and cut your own! Contact us for sizes not listed.
Machine washable up to 194ºF. Quick drying, and can be tumble-dried on a cool setting in the dryer. However, DO NOT use fabric softener as the build-up of fabric softener on the fleece blocks moisture from going through, and prevents the fleece from doing it's job. The fleece will not shrink - although sometimes the pile may mat or bunch a little.
The material is incredibly easy to clean! Simply throw it in the washing-machine and tumble dry on low heat! We also recommend if you are using the VetBed for whelping or with animals with sensitive skin to NOT use detergent (as a residue can be left behind). Another option is to add a second rinse cycle.
The material is exactly the same... We just made ours thicker! The extra thickness keeps the dogs drier and warmer.
Not exactly. The material is synthetic, so it is not really absorbing the fluids - but the design of the material causes the water to wick away from the animal until it can air-dry.
Absolutely! We recommend using a utility or carpet knife. You only need to cut through the back fabric part. You may get a little fluff that comes loose - but the material will not continue to fray!
While there is no such thing as a soft fabric that a dog cannot chew, we found most dogs do not chew the material. This does not mean that some dogs will not try! One thing we've learned is that most dogs start chewing the corners of the material first. By setting your whelping box up to protect the corners, the potential for chewing is greatly reduced.
Yes! It is a great bedding material for rabbits, guinea pigs and more! It will not get pushed out of the cage like pellets or other bedding material and does not have the dust problem.
Yes! It is made from synthetic polyester, so you do not have to worry about allergies. It is warm and yet soft for the puppies. It was originally developed to mimic the mother dogs' fur coat that the puppies would naturally be in contact with.
Vet Bed is thick, soft, warm, and great for our newborn puppies with one big drawback. These shed horribly, and we are worried sick that the puppies will choke on a glob of fuzz. What can be done to get rid of all the shedding? I would have given it a 5 star except for this one flaw.
