Original comfort, trusted for generations

Original Greenback Vetfleece gives pets a soft, warm and supportive place to rest at home or in professional care environments. Manufactured in our own Yorkshire textile mill, it combines a luxurious deep pile with the distinctive woven green backing that has made Vetfleece a trusted bedding choice for more than 35 years.

The dense 25–28mm pile helps retain warmth and creates a comfortable surface for dogs, puppies, cats and other small animals. It is particularly helpful for older pets, new-born litters and animals that need additional comfort while resting or recovering.

slightly bigger

Designed to help pets stay warm and dry

Liquids pass through the fleece pile rather than remaining against the animal. When the bedding is used over a suitable absorbent layer, this helps keep the resting surface drier and more comfortable.

This makes Original Greenback Vetfleece a practical choice for whelping boxes, recovery areas, crates and cages, as well as everyday sleeping spaces. Its soft surface is non-allergenic, non-toxic and non-irritant.

Greenback Washing

Durable, washable and easy to maintain

The strong double-woven green backing provides additional durability for regular use. For everyday cleaning, the fleece can be machine washed at 40°C and dries quickly, helping you return it to use sooner.

For professional environments requiring higher-temperature processing, confirm the appropriate washing or sterilisation method against your facility’s procedures and the product care instructions.

Cut it to fit your space

Original Greenback Vetfleece can be cut to the shape and size you need without the edges fraying. Use it to line dog crates, kennels, pet carriers, cages, whelping boxes or existing pet beds.

A wide range of ready-cut sizes is also available, from compact cage liners to larger pieces suitable for breeder and kennel environments.

Made for home and professional care

From everyday pet bedding to breeder, kennel and veterinary environments, Original Greenback Vetfleece offers dependable comfort, warmth and practicality. Its soft pile, drainage performance and durable construction make it a versatile bedding solution for pets throughout every stage of life.

Choose your preferred colour and size above, or select a larger piece to cut for several sleeping areas.

About brand

Vetfleece is the veterinary fleece vet bedding we have made in our own mill in Bridlington, Yorkshire for over 35 years. It is a 100% polyester fleece with a deep 25–28mm pile that holds warmth while liquid drains through, made to the same exacting standards as medical equipment and trusted by breeders, kennels, groomers and vets as well as pet owners at home.

The range is small and deliberate. The Original Greenback Fleece and the deeper, 1500gsm Original Heavy Duty Greenback Fleece have a double-woven green backing that lets fluids pass straight through to an absorbent pad, which is why breeders use them for whelping. The Non-Slip Multi Paw and Non-Slip Camouflage fleeces have a rubber backing that stays put on wooden, tiled and crate floors. All four come in 21 cut sizes, can be trimmed to fit any bed, crate, carrier or car, and are machine washable at 40°C. Our Vetfleece Laundry Wash Bag keeps hair and fibres out of your machine.

For pile depths, washing temperatures, sizes and a comparison of the four fleeces, see our vet bedding and vet beds buying guide.

Taking Care of you Vetfleece

All of our Vet Fleece comes with a sewn-on washing label. We recommended that the Greenback Vetfleece is washed at 40°C, but vet fleece can handle much higher washing temperatures of up to Autoclavable standard 120°C, which is normally used in veterinarian practices to kill all bacteria but this temperature does shorten the life time of the vet fleece if used all the time. Our non-slip fleece can be washed at temperatures up to 40°C, any hotter than this and the backing can start to deteriorate.

What does GSM mean in Vetfleece bedding? +

When discussing vet fleece, GSM helps customers compare the actual density and substance of the fabric.nnA higher genuine GSM usually indicates a denser, heavier, and more substantial fleece, but it must be measured correctly.

Is 1200gsm good for vet bedding? +

For customers looking for premium vet bedding, soft dog bedding, and warm dog bedding, 1200gsm is a strong indicator of quality when stated correctly.

Does deeper pile mean better support? +

In many cases, yes. A deeper, denser pile can provide a more cushioned resting surface, which may help pets feel more comfortable when lying down. This is one reason why deep-pile veterinary grade dog bedding is popular for puppies, senior dogs, and dogs needing extra comfort.

What is the difference between GSM and linear metre weight? +

This is where confusion often happens.nnGSM = grams per square metrenlinear metre weight = the weight of one metre length of fabric across its full widthnIf a fleece is 1200gsm and the fabric width is 1.5m, then one linear metre of that fabric may weigh the equivalent of:nn1200n×n1.5n=n1800n grams per linear metren1200×1.5=1800 grams per linear metrennBut that does not make the fabric 1800gsm. It is still 1200gsm.

So is 1800gsm always misleading? +

Not always, but it should be questioned carefully. A true 1800gsm fleece would mean the fabric genuinely weighs 1800 grams per square metre, which is a very different claim from saying a 1200gsm fleece weighs 1800 grams per linear metre at 1.5m wide.nnIf a seller is using width-based maths to inflate the number, then the advertised GSM is misleading.

Can a true 1800gsm fleece be made on a circular knitting machine? +

Can vet bedding be used in dog crates? +

Some customers search for waterproof vet bedding, but it is important to understand the difference between waterproof and moisture-draining bedding.

Why is multiplying 1200gsm by 1.5 incorrect? +

Because GSM already means grams per square metre. It is already an area-based measurement. You do not multiply GSM by the fabric width to create a new GSM figure.nnFor example:nntrue weight = 1200gsmnfabric width = 1.5 metresnThis does not make the fleece 1800gsmnnIt only means that one linear metre of fabric at 1.5m wide contains more total material than one square metre, but the GSM itself remains 1200gsm.

What is the maximum GSM a circular knitting machine can usually knit? +

As a general industry guide, the maximum a circular knitting machine can usually knit is around 1500gsm. This is why very high GSM claims above that level should be treated with caution unless the seller can clearly explain how the fabric is produced and how the GSM has been measured.

Why is true GSM important when buying vet bedding? +

True GSM matters because it helps you compare products fairly. If one seller lists genuine 1200gsm vet fleece and another seller inflates the figure to 1800gsm by using fabric width, customers may think they are buying a much denser product when they are not.nnAccurate GSM helps buyers make informed decisions when choosing vet bedding, vet bed, vet fleece, and veterinary bedding.

Does a higher claimed GSM always mean better quality? +

No. A higher number only matters if it is accurate. A genuine 1200gsm premium vet bedding product can be far better than a lower-quality fleece marketed with an inflated or misleading GSM claim. Quality depends on the true weight, pile depth, fibre quality, construction, and finishing.

Why do genuine specifications matter? +

Clear and honest product specifications help customers trust what they are buying. If a seller labels a fleece as 1800gsm when it is actually 1200gsm multiplied by the 1.5m fabric width, that can create a misleading impression of thickness and density.nnBeing transparent about true GSM helps customers compare products properly.

How does 1200gsm Vetfleece help with warmth and comfort? +

The combination of dense fabric weight and a deep pile creates a fleece that traps warmth while remaining soft and supportive. This makes it ideal as:nnwarm dog beddingncomfortable dog beddingnheat retaining dog beddingninsulated dog beddingnthick fleece dog bedding

Why should customers be cautious with exaggerated fabric claims? +

Because not all weight claims are presented in the same way. Some sellers may use technical-sounding figures that seem more impressive but do not reflect the true grams per square metre. When shopping for vet bed, vetbed, or vet fleece, it is always worth checking whether the number given is a real GSM or a linear metre calculation presented as GSM.
