Blovi Dry-Bed UK is a soft, warm, and always-dry hygienic bedding loved by pets (and their owners). It provides comfort for dogs, cats, and small animals, keeping them insulated from cold surfaces while staying clean and dry.

In this guide you’ll learn: what Dry Bed is, where it comes from, how to use it, which type to choose, and how to care for a Dry Bed. 

What is Dry Bed?

Dry Bed is a type of soft fabric developed in the UK in the 1960s for hospital use. Originally designed as a bedding pad, it helped prevent pressure sores and skin irritation. Its key feature is the ability to let fluids pass through completely while keeping the top layer dry at all times. This reduces bacterial growth and supports good hygiene. The wool-like upper layer, made of dense pile, insulates pets from the ground, providing warmth and comfort.

How to use Dry Bed?

• Dry Bed at home
  Dry Bed is an excellent choice for dogs. Pets love its softness, and with many patterns and colors available, it’s easy to match the bedding to any interior. Thanks to its insulating properties, Dry Bed works well on balconies and terraces, and as bedding for crates and kennels, protecting animals from cold surfaces.

• Dry Bed for large dogs
  Dry Bed is suitable for large breeds. First, the wide range of sizes makes it easy to pick a bed for a big dog. At GroomerShop.eu Dry Bed mats are available in sizes such as 150×100 cm, 150×150 cm, and even 200×150 cm. Second, a Dry Bed XXL dog bed is a very economical solution. Of course, it’s also perfect for small dogs.

• Dry Bed for puppies, kittens, and small animals
  Dry Bed is ideal during whelping and for raising puppies and kittens, as it lets all fluids pass through while keeping the top layer dry, effectively reducing bacterial growth. It supports hygiene and is often used as bedding for guinea pigs, rabbits, ferrets, and other small pets.

• Dry Bed for animals after surgery or medical procedures
  Recovery after surgery, illness, limited mobility, or advanced age are situations where hygiene is especially important. In such cases, Dry Bed becomes invaluable: always dry, soft, and hygienic.

• Dry Bed for the car and during travel
  Comfortable travel conditions make every trip calmer and easier. Dry Bed can be cut to size and used to line the car boot; it also works perfectly as a car mat for dogs or cats, or as bedding for crates and carriers.

Types of Dry Bed

When choosing a Dry Bed, it’s worth paying attention to the density and length of the pile in the top layer, as these determine the overall thickness and comfort of the bedding. Another important aspect is the finish of the underside.

Based on thickness, Dry Bed comes in three types:

• Dry Bed Type A+ – the thickest option available. It features the highest pile density and weight.
• Dry Bed Type A – slightly thinner and with a slightly lower weight than Type A+.
• Dry Bed Type B – the thinnest version, with a lower weight than Types A and A+.

Based on the underside, two variants are available:

• Anti-slip Dry Bed – with a rubberised underside that prevents the bedding from sliding.
• Dry Bed without rubber backing – a fabric underside without rubber, slightly more economical. Suitable for crates.

How to clean Dry Bed bedding

When needed, Dry Bed bedding can be machine-washed at temperatures up to 40°C. It dries quickly. Do not bleach or iron.

Other names for Dry Bed

Dry Bed bedding is also known as veterinary bedding (from the English term “veterinary bed”). Other interchangeable names include drybed, wet bed.
