VetBed

Vetbed has a similar feel to fur, so pups find it comforting and reassuring. It also keeps them warm and dry even if they wee as the moisture is taken away. We thoroughly recommend vetbed - it's lightweight, machine washable, non-toxic and doesn't seem to stain. There are different types of vetbed depending on your needs. It comes in variety of sizes so there should be one to fit your space. I prefer the branded Vetbed as the quality is known. There are several cheaper copies of vetbed available. It is worth checking you are getting the real thing before buying.

VetBed Gold inhibits house/dust mites

Flectabed - natural central heating

With superior insulating properties, multi-layered fibres (developed by NASA) and reflective surface it is ideal for young pups needing warmth without electricity cables. It is a inner quilt packed with a lightweight material which reflects heat. This means that hot air gets trapped and bounces heat back to pup.The outer fleece provides flurry comfort. Vetbed say it is nonirritating, stain resistant, non-toxic and hypo-allergic. The outer fleece is machine-washable at lower temperatures however the inner quilt should not be washed as often.

If you opt for Flectabed as your pup's first bedding then its worth considering buying a waterproof cover in case of accidents or buying a piece which will fit inside crate but not fill it (newspaper on other side) so pup has the option of moving away from bed if they need a wee (or worse...).
