Vet Bed / Dry Bed – Greenback – Charcoal Bees | Washable Moisture-Wicking Dog Bedding NZ

Busy bees, tough build. 🐝 This Charcoal Bees dry bed scatters cheerful bees across a soft charcoal 28mm pile, backed by the hard-wearing, moisture-wicking greenback your dog's kennel, crate or whelping box needs.

Our Vet Bed / Dry Bed – Greenback – Charcoal Bees brings a bit of fun to the kennel without giving up practicality. The dark charcoal background hides muddy paws and everyday wear between washes, and the bee print makes it a great backdrop for puppy photos before they head off to their new homes.

Underneath the print, this is genuine UK vet bedding, cut to size here in New Zealand, and it does everything good vet bedding should. The 28mm deep pile gives your dog plenty of cushioning between them and a hard kennel floor or crate tray. It 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, 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 tough, hot-washable dry bed with a playful print on a dark base that keeps looking tidy.

Why dogs love it: it's soft, warm and dry to lie on, wherever you put it.

FAQs

Q: What does the Charcoal Bees dry bed look like? A: It's a charcoal-grey 28mm pile printed with bees, over a tear-resistant greenback backing.

Q: How thick is this dry bed? A: It has a 28mm deep pile, which is our standard pile, giving good cushioning and warmth.

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. Charcoal Bees comes in both.

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.

Q: Where is this dry bed made? A: It's UK vet bedding, imported by Thorncombe Pet Supplies and cut to size here in New Zealand.

Care and safety note

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.
