Vet bedding keeps pets warm, comfortable and drier with a deep pile fleece that drains fast. Learn how to pick the right type for seniors, puppies, crates or post-op care, and how to wash it properly.

ProFleece vet bedding is a practical type of dog bedding used by vets, breeders and pet owners. It keeps animals warm, comfortable and dry. This guide explains what it is, how it works, how to choose the right option and how to care for it.

What Is Vet Bedding?

Vet bedding is a deep-pile fleece with a breathable backing. The pile allows liquid to pass through to lower layers while the surface stays drier and warmer. It is durable, quick to wash and easy to cut to size for crates, cars, kennels and sofas. You may also see it described as veterinary dog bedding or dog vet bedding.

What Is the Best Vet Bedding?

The best vet bedding for dogs depends on how you plan to use it.

Vet Bedding for Senior Dogs

Choose a supportive, warm pile. One with a polyester mix adds natural insulation and steady temperature control. A non-slip backing helps older dogs feel secure on hard floors.

Vet Bedding for Pregnant Dogs and Puppies

Vet bedding for puppies and whelping:

• Pick fast-draining, quick-drying piles that keep the top layer comfortable.
• Choose ranges that are easy to wash and manage frequent laundering.
• Consider antibacterial fibres for extra hygiene in the early weeks.

Vet Bedding for Surgery Recovery

Choose a soft, cushioned pile that helps relieve pressure points and keeps the skin drier. Good hygiene is essential, and can be maintained by washing regularly.

Vet Bedding for Crates

Traditional vet bedding is ideal for dog crates, as it allows pets to move comfortably and freely. Use a non-slip version if the crate base is smooth or if your dog is particularly active. Measure the inside of the crate and trim the bedding neatly so it sits flat and secure.

Benefits of Vet Bedding

• Warm and dry: deep pile insulates and wicks moisture away from the surface
• Comfortable support: reduces pressure points for resting joints
• Hygienic: easy to wash and quick to dry
• Versatile: suitable for crates, cars, kennels and sofas
• Durable: dense fibres and strong backing tolerate frequent use

 How to Choose the Right Vet Bedding

1. Match the use: senior comfort, puppies, post-operative care, travel, or everyday lounging.
2. Pick the pile: thicker for warmth and cushioning, medium for fast drying and daily use.
3. Select the backing: non-slip for smooth surfaces, traditional for wicking moisture.
4. Prioritise hygiene: consider antibacterial fibres for high-wash environments.
5. Measure first: record the crate's internal length and width, then trim carefully.

Cleaning and Care

1. Remove debris: Shake outdoors and vacuum or brush to lift hair and grit.
2. Machine wash: Use a mild detergent.
3. Dry thoroughly: Air drying is recommended for longevity, or tumble on a low setting if available.
4. Avoid harsh products: We recommend against the use of bleach or fabric softener. High heat can damage the pile or backing.
5. Inspect regularly: Replace if the backing is torn or the pile is matted beyond recovery.
