Specialist Cat Bedding Can Be A Godsend For Older Cats

Cat bedding is made from a fabric or fleece material that cats love to snuggle with when they sleep. Most cats have a wide variety of beds and bedding to choose from. Sometimes our pets will benefit from a specialized pet bedding. You might be interested to learn about some of the bedding materials designed for animals with special needs.

Vet bedding was developed by the manufacturer with the help of a lot of feedback from veterinarians to make this bedding superior for cats and dogs who are under a vet’s care. This is the bedding often used in the crates at vet clinics for their patients who are hospitalized. Animals who have recently given birth, pets who have been injured or are recovering from recent surgery need to stay warm and dry to prevent bacterial growth and infections to healing wounds. The bedding material consists of two polyester fibers that are unlike any other bedding on the market. One fiber has excellent heat retention properties helping to regulate the body temperature of the animal. The second fiber has special characteristics that wicks moisture away from the surface of the bedding and keeps the animal dry. The vet bedding is machine washable.

Animals that have incontinence problems will benefit from a specially designed bed to keep your pet dry through the night. A drybed design incorporates a drainage pan underneath the bed frame to hold the urine and keep the floor and the animal dry. The bed consists of a frame with legs which keep it out of the urine below. The frame is covered with a mesh material allowing the urine to drain to the pan below. There is a fleece material on top of the meshed covered frame that the animal lays on. The fleece is warm and comfortable and stays dry against the animals skin. The drybed helps your cat or dog get a good night’s sleep and you will too.

One more bedding material that I want to mention is great for a change from the normal cat bed. The bean bag bed is filled with polystyrene beads just like the bean bags we had growing up. The bed is covered with an easy to clean material that can be wiped with a damp cloth. The covers are available in a variety of colors to choose from and are removable for machine washing when needed. The beads in the beanbag help retain the animals heat and keep your pet warm through the night. The contour of the bed changes when the animal lays down redistributing the beads to provide a comfortable bedding. It will give the support and comfort for your older pet with sore joints and pregnant moms love it too. The cat bean bag beds are available in smaller sizes for your feline friend and also larger sizes for your canine companion.

Our pets are a part of our family and deserve to get a good night’s sleep. If you have an older animal or one with special requirements then maybe one of the beds mentioned is just what the doctor ordered, instead of their usual cat bed or in addition to it.
