Show pen bases?

Random question i know lol!!

I currently use vetbed but it's bulky, difficult to carry around, and almost impossible to clean, it's also a bit warm for summer shows.

I've seen some people using a cotton sort of pad but have never seen them for sale, and can't find them anywhere!!

Anyone know where i can find such a thing?

What i'm talking about isn't a blanket, it's cotton with quite a thin filling inside. It looks machine washable and easy to fold up!!

If you can find out the measurements you need I could easily make you one relatively cheap

Re: Show pen bases?

Tha alternative to vetbed is a white show blanket. You can get them from various suppliers. I am at work now (yes at 02.52) but if you can not find them doing a google search, drop me a PM and will send you a link.

Yes, wash them and I dry mine in the tumble dryer. Then I brush it and make it fluffy again.

Re: Show pen bases?

I have show blankets already, i make wee beds out of them, i wouldn't use them for the base, just a bit TOO thin!!

I don't have a tumble drier but will try washing it lol.

Re: Show pen bases?

Careful, if they are distinguishable then that leads to an automatic disqualification.

I agree, thats why I use a Vetbed. I have never seen anyone use anything other than a Vetbed or show blanket at a GCCF show. I would worry about it making my cats pens "identifiable".
