Vet bedding is a great option for keeping rabbits and guinea pigs comfortable. It’s soft, warm, durable, easy to wash, quick to dry, and safe. 

As a veterinary surgeon, I’ve treated many rabbits and guinea pigs with sore eyes and/or pieces of straw in their eyes. Straw is sharp and unforgiving and can cause serious eye injuries such as infections, ulcers or penetration injuries.” – Lily Richards BSc (Hons) BVSc MRCVS, Veterinary Surgeon and Medical Writer

Shop Our Online Range of Rabbit Vet Beds

We have a fantastic selection of vet bedding for rabbits and guinea pigs that each come in a wide range of styles, sizes, colours and patterns, so you can find the perfect pet bed for your small animal.

All of our vet bedding is incredibly durable and has double-woven backing that makes it difficult for your pet to chew through – a life-saver for many rabbit and guinea pig owners!

We have 4 types of vet bedding, all designed with your pet’s safety and comfort in mind.

Our vet bedding range includes:

- Traditional Vet Bedding
- Active Non-Slip Vet Bedding
- Super Gold Vet Bedding
- Senior Gold 7+ Vet Bedding
 

Our Traditional Vet Bedding makes a great all-around guinea pig and rabbit bed choice. It is made with ultra-soft 28mm pile polyester that rabbits love for snuggling up.

The Active Non-Slip Vet Bedding range uses the same premium polyester material, but it also features an 'active' non-skid backing to keep your pet safe and secure. This is great for when your bunny gets the 'zoomies' in their hutch or cage and stops the bed from being scrunched up.

Our Super Gold Vet Bedding is our most luxurious vet bedding for rabbits and guinea pigs and is the go-to choice for vets, kennels and home pet owners. These beds are made using polyester with antibacterial fibres, making them a great option for pets with skin allergies or problems.

Lastly, the Senior Gold 7+ Vet Bedding is designed for elderly dogs that need a little extra support in their older years, but it also makes a great rabbit or guinea pig bed for older pets. It's made with a special blend of 30% antibacterial wool and polyester fibres that provide a soft, supportive sleeping area.

You can also use the beds inside animal carry cases and carriers for when you’re travelling with your pet or taking them to and from the vet to help comfort them.

“Vet bedding is soft and durable, preventing injuries to eyes. Vet bedding is non-irritant and doesn’t carry parasites and bugs, making it much more hygienic than other bedding types. 

Vet bedding also allows fluid to pass through and the pile on top to stay dry so your friend gets to stay nice and comfortable, even if they have an accident or spill their water whilst having a play as mine used to all the time. 

So yes, using vet bedding for your rabbit or guinea pig is safe and a great option.”
