Premium Vet Bed / Dry Bed Bedding NZ – Washable, Moisture-Wicking, Hypoallergenic
At Thorncombe Pet Supplies, our Premium Vet Bed and Dry Bed range is trusted by breeders, veterinarians and professional groomers across New Zealand for one simple reason — it keeps dogs dry, warm and comfortable, even in demanding environments.
Unlike standard dog beds that trap moisture, odours and bacteria, true vet bed is engineered with a deep, moisture-wicking pile that pulls liquid away from your dog’s skin and into the base layer. This keeps your dog lying on a dry, insulated surface, helping to prevent chills, skin irritation and pressure sores.
Our vet bedding is ideal for:
- Crates & kennels
- Whelping boxes & puppy pens
- Post-surgery recovery
- Senior & incontinent dogs
- Cold concrete or garage floors
- Travel crates and car beds
Each piece is fully machine washable, fast-drying and hypoallergenic — making it one of the most hygienic bedding options available for dogs.
The fabric is designed to ensure that it will wick away moisture keeping the top clean and dry for your pets.
Greenback vs Non-Slip — Which Vet Bed Should I Choose?
One of the biggest advantages of Thorncombe’s vet bedding range is that you can choose the backing that best suits your setup.
Greenback Vet Bed -
Best for: crates, kennels, puppies, strong diggers, high-wear areas
- Extra-durable waterproof backing
- Resists tearing and chewing
- Ideal for breeders and working dogs
- Perfect for whelping boxes and long-term crate use
Non Slip (Rubber back) Vet Bed -
Best for: tiled floors, grooming tables, car crates, slippery surfaces
- Rubberised grip backing
- Stops the bed from sliding
- Ideal for senior or unsteady dogs
- Excellent for travel and home use
Both options use the same premium moisture-wicking pile — only the base changes.
