Grade is a real, measurable specification — not a marketing label. Vetfleece is an A grade vet bed manufacturer. Every product in our range meets A grade standard, and we can demonstrate it by specification.
The term "vet bed" gets used loosely. A grade is taller and denser. B grade is shorter and lighter. For Vetfleece, the answer is straightforward — A grade. That's not a marketing claim. We're just not interested in low quality.
A grade vet bedding uses a longer polyester fibre and has a denser knit than B grade alternatives — producing a loftier, softer fleece that bounces back to shape, holds its purpose wash after wash, and stands up to the demands of professional use.
B grade vet bed uses a shorter fibre with a less dense knit — the pile flattens faster, washes down more quickly, and feels noticeably thinner. It's often sold without specification for exactly this reason.
For trade buyers, being able to confirm grade by specification — not just by a label — is what separates a credible product from a generic one. Your customers can verify it, not just take your word for it.
The difference between A grade and B grade vet bedding is measurable and demonstrable. These are the specifications — not marketing claims.

|---|---|---|
| Weight (Standard) | 1200gsm | 900–1000gsm |

| Weight (Heavy Duty) | 1500gsm | Not available in B grade |
| Pile Height (Heavy Duty) | 28–32mm | Not available in B grade |
| Fibre Density | Densely knitted — fuller, more durable pile | Less densely knitted — thinner, flatter feel |
| Max Wash Temperature (Greenback) | 120°C | Varies — often unlabelled |
We manufacture to our own A grade specification in our Yorkshire mill. Every roll is to this standard — not just selected batches.
For distributors, retailers and franchisees, being able to confirm — by specification — that you're supplying genuine A grade vet fleece is a clear selling point. Your customers can verify it.
Professional kennels, vets and breeders buying in volume want to know they're getting A grade. They've often been sold B grade as A grade before. Vetfleece lets them verify the grade themselves — by feel, by specification, and by comparing directly against anything else in the market.
A grade commands a higher resale price and holds repeat customers. When you're running trade accounts across a market, your customers place repeat orders based on what they received the first time. Manufacturing control means the product they ordered last year and the product they receive next month is the same — same pile, same weight, same performance.
We're happy to send samples so you can compare A grade Vetfleece against anything else in your current range or on the market. Mention sample request in the enquiry form.
