I bought a big roll of vetbed a few years ago from ebay. Much cheaper to buy it on roll than in pieces and it has the convenience of being able to be cut to size as required.

It is expensive stuff but is brilliant, as it wicks moisture so the cat lying on it stays dry. Also vetbed can be washed and dried in the same day, so very convenient for use in vets, rescues and catteries etc.

From research I did when I bought mine I found ebay is the cheapest place to buy it. The larger the roll the cheaper it works out per metre.

Would I need to buy wash bags as well? xxx

 

Ebay rubber backed stuff is good x

 

Oooh thanks all! It's to be sent to a Uk rescue so EBay would be fine! I want to buy as much as I can afford for them so the roll sounds a good bet. I'll look at the links! xxx

 

I've never had the need to look for vetbeds so all the info is really helpful! Thanks!

 

I just wash mine in the washer on a 30 degree wool wash, comes out as good as new x

 

Thank you all for your replies it really helped me to narrow the choice down. I am going for the 3m roll it's seems the most economical. xxx

 

I've been struggling to select anything but appreciated everyone's links.
I'm looking for vet bed to use as 'carpet' in my indoor ferret enclosure. It's there main christmas gift.

 

I would go for the one on a roll Pear It's 3mts!

 

I use a wash bag (officially sold for horse use) when washing my vetbed, and the difference is noticeable without. However if they're an established rescue they're probably already well aware of what their washing machine can or can't cope with, and presumably if their filters do get clogged more easily they already have bags for washing any and all other fabric items (as the issue isn't limited just to vetbed). So I'd not worry about that unless explicitly stated.

I prefer the proper stuff with the wicking firm mesh type backing layer. But that does slip around, so if you're looking for non-slip stuff then rubber-backed is better.

 

I think I need to avoid rubber because Samson is a idiot and will eat it.
