Hounder Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I did a search on dry bed/vetbed and noticed that in some posts that there can be a difference in the texture of the dry bed as in that some said that it was soft and cosy and that others said that theirs were stiff and not as soft as expected. I was wondering if this may have anything to do with the different colours. I'm planning on buying some of the non rubber backed soon and apart from the original blue, I was looking at getting some different colours. Any opinions?

Parkeyre Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I've found that they all feel the same after a couple of washes with fabric softener and a spin through the dryer. The green back slides around on my Kenol whelp box heaps more than the rubber does. Next time I think I'll Velcro it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
becks Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 When talking about stiffness, we are talking about the backing of the vet bed, the top is the same from wherever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizT Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 The back is stiff when you first buy it and the pile is more upright. Both soften up with repeated washings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellz Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I had some greenback arrive today....it was so stiff it pretty much stood up by itself when I got it out of the satchel :laugh:. Have washed and dried it now and it is a bit softer already...will take a few more washes though. PS. I got charcoal with pink pawprints! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hounder Posted June 25, 2012 Author Share Posted June 25, 2012 Hey Ellz, did you order from Peperone's or somewhere local? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risyntira Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I've just ordered my purple with black pawprints from Peperone's. Can't wait to use it ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellz Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Hey Ellz, did you order from Peperone's or somewhere local? I have ordered from Peperone in the past but only wanted a couple of pieces this time so I ordered from Anabel at the Wolf's Den. Excellent prices and service and the pieces can be cut to order. Postage very reasonable too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like a stiff new piece for pre-whelp and first days as mumma seems to spend a lot of time scratching up the nest and rearranging things. Putting a few towelling nappies in there keeps her happy and the vet bed in one place! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
