FAQs
Is Vet Fleece suitable for outdoor use?
Vet Fleece is designed for indoor use to provide comfort and warmth. While it can be used outdoors temporarily in dry conditions, it is not waterproof and may not withstand prolonged exposure to the elements.
Can I cut the Vet Fleece to a custom size?
Yes, the Vet Fleece can be cut using sharp scissors to fit specific requirements. However, be aware that cutting may cause the edges to fray over time, and it will void any warranty related to the edges.
How often should I wash the Vet Fleece bedding?
It is recommended to wash the bedding weekly for general use to maintain hygiene. For whelping boxes or post-surgery care, more frequent washing may be necessary based on soiling.
Will this bedding irritate my pet's skin?
No, the Vet Fleece is hypoallergenic and designed to be gentle on sensitive skin, reducing the risk of irritation or allergic reactions.
What is the difference between Vet Fleece and regular pet blankets?
Vet Fleece is medical-grade, offering superior density, warmth retention, and durability compared to standard pet blankets. Its hypoallergenic and quick-drying properties are also key distinguishing features.
Is the charcoal color prone to showing dirt?
While charcoal is a relatively forgiving color, like any bedding, it will show significant soiling. Regular washing is advised to keep it looking and smelling fresh.
Troubleshooting
Bedding feels less soft after washing.
Ensure you have avoided using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can stiffen the fibers. Wash on a warm cycle without these additives.
Pet is still cold on the bedding.
While the fleece provides warmth, ensure the surrounding environment is adequately heated, especially for very young or old pets. Check that the bedding is not lying on a cold surface without an intermediate layer.
Debris is difficult to remove from the high pile.
Use a stiff brush or a pet hair vacuum attachment to loosen and remove trapped debris before washing. Regular brushing can prevent significant buildup.
Bedding shows signs of wear after extended use.
While durable, extreme wear may occur with constant chewing or vigorous scratching. Inspect regularly and replace if significant damage occurs that compromises safety or comfort.
