Product Information

Full details

The Vet Fleece Original Greenback is a medical-grade, 1200gsm pet bedding designed for breeders, veterinarians, and pet owners who require a high-hygiene environment for whelping, surgery recovery, or general comfort. Its standout benefit is the open-weave backing that wicks liquids away, ensuring pets remain dry and warm regardless of their condition; however, users should note that as a functional, medical-grade product, it lacks the aesthetic plushness of decorative designer pet beds.

FAQs

Can I put this in my dryer?

While the material is quick-drying, it is recommended to air dry or use low heat to preserve the life of the backing.

Is this suitable for rabbits and small rodents?

Yes, it is used by many owners of mice, kittens, and other small animals due to its clean, non-toxic properties.

Will the backing crack after washing?

No, the greenback is a high-quality, woven material designed specifically to withstand repeated high-temperature washes.

How often should I wash the fleece?

If used for whelping or post-surgery, wash as frequently as needed to maintain hygiene. For general use, weekly washing is usually sufficient.

Can I cut this to fit a circular dog bed?

Absolutely. You can trace the shape of your pet bed onto the back of the fleece and cut it to size with heavy-duty scissors.

Troubleshooting

The fleece edges are shedding small fibers after cutting.

This is normal initially. Give the cut edges a firm shake or brush them to remove loose fibers from the manufacturing/cutting process.

The bedding seems flat after heavy use.

A thorough machine wash at a high temperature will help fluff up the pile and restore the loft of the fleece.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Retains heat effectively for cozy, warm comfort
  • Easy to trim to fit any custom cage or crate size
  • Highly sanitary and resistant to bacterial growth
  • Durable enough to resist easy chewing by pets
  • Quick-drying after washing

Cons

  • Functional aesthetic may not match home decor as well as plush beds
  • Needs frequent washing if used for active whelping
  • Edges are raw after cutting, though the material does not fray easily

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up, measure your desired space—such as a crate, whelping box, or pet bed frame—and mark the dimensions on the back of the fleece. Use a sharp pair of heavy-duty scissors to cut the material to size; the open-weave backing is designed to be cut without significant fraying.

For care, the Vet Fleece is highly robust. You can machine wash it at temperatures up to 90 degrees Celsius to sanitize the fabric. For the highest level of clinical hygiene, it can also be autoclaved. Always ensure the fleece is completely dry before returning it to the pet's sleeping area. Its high-pile nature allows it to dry relatively quickly compared to standard thick foam bedding, making it easy to rotate between cleanings.
