Vet Bed / Dry Bed – Greenback – Kiwi & Kiwifruit | Washable Moisture-Wicking Dog Bedding NZ
Nothing says home quite like a kiwi. 🥝 This Kiwi & Kiwifruit dry bed scatters our national bird and its namesake fruit across a soft cream pile, with a deeper 28mm pile for extra cushioning and the same tough, moisture-wicking greenback build your dog's bedding needs.
If you've been waiting for a dry bed that looks properly Kiwi, this is it. Chocolate-brown kiwi birds and bright green kiwifruit are dotted across a cream background, so it looks great in the whelping box, the show crate or on the lounge floor, and it's a fun one for puppy photos before they head off to their new homes.
Underneath the print, it does everything good vet bedding should. The 28mm deep pile is a touch thicker than our standard 26mm range, giving your dog a bit more cushioning between them and a hard kennel floor or crate tray. The pile wicks moisture away from your dog's coat and skin while holding onto warmth, so they stay dry and cosy after a wet walk, a bath, or an accident.
The durable green backing resists tearing and holds up well to digging, scratching and dogs who like to rearrange their bedding. It's non-allergenic, non-toxic and non-irritant, and doesn't support bacterial growth or fleas, which makes it a hygienic choice for whelping puppies or kittens, senior dogs, and dogs recovering from surgery.
Liquid passes straight through the open weave to whatever's underneath (newspaper, towels or puppy pads work well), keeping your dog's side dry, and the texture gives puppies good grip to get up on their feet. Machine or hand washable up to 80°C, so it handles regular hot washes in busy kennels and multi-dog homes.
Why owners love it: a deeper, more cushioned dry bed with a print that's unmistakably New Zealand.
Why dogs love it: it's soft, warm and dry to lie on, wherever you put it.

FAQs
Q: What print is on this dry bed? A: Brown kiwi birds and green kiwifruit scattered across a cream background, over a tear-resistant greenback backing.
Q: How thick is the Kiwi & Kiwifruit dry bed? A: It has a 28mm deep pile, slightly thicker than the 26mm pile on our standard greenback designs, for a bit more cushioning.
Q: Is greenback vet bed safe for puppies and whelping? A: Yes. It's non-allergenic, non-toxic and non-irritant, and doesn't support bacterial growth or fleas. Liquid passes through to bedding underneath, helping keep puppies dry, and the pile gives them grip to stand and move.
Q: What's the difference between Greenback and Non-Slip dry bed? A: Greenback has a tear-resistant fabric backing and washes up to 80°C, so it suits kennels, crates and heavy use. Non-Slip has a rubber backing that grips hard floors and washes up to 30°C, so it's better for tiles and timber at home.
Q: How do I wash my Greenback dry bed? A: Machine or hand wash at a maximum of 80°C. Skip the fabric softener, as it clogs the pile and reduces how well it wicks moisture.
Q: Is this vet bed suitable for chewers? A: The greenback backing holds up well to digging, scratching and heavy wear, but no soft bedding is chew-proof, so supervise determined chewers.

Care and safety
Machine or hand wash at a maximum of 80°C. Leave out fabric softener, as it clogs the pile and stops it wicking properly. Air dry or tumble dry on low. Place a towel, newspaper or puppy pad underneath during whelping or toilet training to catch liquid that passes through. Cut to size from large rolls, so it arrives without retail packaging.
