I remember seeing at a show ages ago some bedding which was similar to vet bed but was a shaggy wool type design .... similar to this http://www.ideas-4-pets.com/herdwick-comforter-pure-wool-dog-bed-ott-p-1924.html

The thing is I want a brown one ( to hide dirt and to go with the decor !!) but it seems these particular ones only come in grey.  Just wondered if anyone knew of another company who makes them ?

Cor bet wool will smell when it's damp..... :)   :) :)

I had some dark brown vet bed from Barjo, has lasted years in spite of three dogs doing their best to kill it:

like a soggy sheep !!  Its only for the living room and no damp dogs allowed in there !!

Have you gone through the stands which have been or are due to be at Crufts to see if they have an online store? Worth a shot.
Just from a quick google search I found a woollen rug/mat for dogs but was only in cream(silly colour if you ask me)

Thanks, its for the living room though so wanted something a bit different.

Phew!  I thought it was for dogs' beds!! :) :) :)

clare. Have a look at http://www.bronteglen.ie/ . Good luck.

Looking at other posters, this is probably not what you want as thought it was for the dogs.

will have a look Sue, they have cream vetbed at the mo ........ yes silly colour !!

Bronteglen is what I found, if they can do a darker colour its what you're looking for, but they don't advertise it.

Could you not just go for a normal woollen shaggy rug? Ikea have some cheap ones in right now.

I could, as long as its washable.  Ive got a lovely big wool rug in the loft but its cream (silly colour) and I cant wash it so thats where it will stay !!  I will take a look at Ikea.

Found this on ebay.

Good ol' Herdwicks come in grey and are unwilling to be dyed!

www.bronteglen.co.uk do nice wool beds from what I recall made from Merino wool, much easier to dye lots of different colours!
