FAQs
How do I cut the 10m roll to size?
Use a sharp pair of scissors or a craft knife to cut the Vetbed to your desired dimensions. Ensure it is laid flat on a protected surface for a clean cut.
Can I wash the Vetbed in hot water?
It is recommended to wash the Vetbed at 40 degrees Celsius. Washing at higher temperatures may damage the material and reduce its lifespan.
Is the Vetbed suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, the Vetbed can be used in kennels or outdoor shelters. Ensure it is protected from excessive moisture and direct sunlight for extended periods.
What is the backing made of?
The backing is made of non-carboxylated foam, which provides the non-slip properties.
Can I use bleach on the Vetbed?
No, bleach should not be used on the Vetbed as it can damage the fibers and compromise its hygienic properties.
How often should I wash the Vetbed?
It is recommended to wash the Vetbed regularly, depending on your pet's use and hygiene needs. Machine washing at 40 degrees Celsius is safe for frequent cleaning.
Is the material eco-friendly?
Yes, the polyester used for the pile is derived from recycled plastic bottles, contributing to its eco-friendly nature.
Troubleshooting
Vetbed is slipping on the floor.
Ensure the floor is clean and dry before placing the Vetbed. The non-slip backing works best on smooth surfaces. For very smooth surfaces, a small piece of double-sided tape may be used sparingly on the corners if absolutely necessary, but this is not recommended for regular use.
Vetbed has lost some of its softness or loft.
This can happen over time with heavy use or improper washing. Ensure you are washing at the recommended 40 degrees Celsius and avoiding harsh chemicals. Tumble drying on a low heat can help restore some loft.
Pet is chewing or attempting to eat the Vetbed.
Vetbed is not designed as a chew toy. If your pet is destructive, supervise them when using the bed and consider a more durable, chew-resistant alternative. Remove the bed if chewing persists.
Difficulty cutting the 10m roll cleanly.
Use a sharp pair of fabric scissors or a heavy-duty craft knife. Ensure the Vetbed is laid flat on a protected surface before cutting.
