Veterinary bedding built for real-world care
Dense, washable high-pile bedding for veterinary practices, breeders, kennels, catteries, distributors and pet retailers.
What the fabric needs to deliver.
Jackson Textiles is the UK's leading manufacturer and wholesale supplier of veterinary bedding. The knitted pile provides a warm, supportive resting surface while compatible backing constructions allow moisture to pass away from the animal.
A high-pile fabric should be engineered around the finished product, its environment and the commercial proposition, not selected by weight alone.
Comfort and insulation
A deep pile creates a soft resting surface and helps separate the animal from a cold floor.
Moisture management
Liquid can pass through suitable backing constructions instead of remaining against the animal.
Repeated-use practicality
Washable, quick-drying constructions support demanding clinical, kennel and home environments.
Choice for every channel
Clinical white, plain colours, patterned ranges and bespoke designs support professional and retail markets.
Responsible fibre options
Selected constructions contain up to 95% recycled PET, with dope-dyed colour introduced during fibre manufacture.
