I'm just about to buy a heap of vet bed and was wondering..................it's slightly cheaper if I buy a 3m roll, but can I just cut it with scissors or will it fray? ?? credit card poised and I don't know what to do.......... !!
thanks

No it will not fray. It is difficult to cut but if you turn it upside down and slip the point of the scissors in at the bottom of the fur (Does that make sense) and cut the backing the fur will just part and you should not get too much fluff flying around.
I get mine in large rolls ;-)

> slip the point of the scissors in at the bottom of the fur

a stanly knife or craft knife used from the back works quite well too

I've cut from a big roll too (sharp scissors) and you will get some loose 'fluff' after cutting but nothing you can't just pull off.  I prefer to wash it first as there is often quite a bit of fuzz which otherwise drifts about the house like tumbleweed in the early weeks.

Years later I've found the odd loose thread but this stuff lasts for yonks :)

Cutting it when wet will stop the fuzz flying :)

I use a stanly knife and a long straight bit of wood.

wash it first before giving it to hounds get rid of fluff

We use a stanley knife to cut it, backing side up and then wash it before first use.

I buy the rolls too.  Well, I used to.  The last ones have lasted me years, and I have only recently got the odd thread that needs snipping off. 

When you look at the price of a tiny piece in PAH - blimey!

I used strong kitchen scissors (for cutting chicken carcasses.)  And I keep a zipped, cotton duvet cover to contain the vetbed while in my machine.  It saves bunging your machine up with loose fluff.

Brilliant tip, at the moment I hoover the inside of the washing machine after every dog wash. My last washing machine had a proper fine mesh filter that caught the hairs and could just be emptied after each bedding wash but I couldn't find a new wshing machine with the same thing.

I always buy the vet bed with the non slip backing, very easy to cut up and no it doesn't fray... Go on buy it :-)

credit card is gently glowing..................... thanks everyone!

i buy 10m rolls and always use a stanley knife and find it really easy to cut. like has been said upside down is easier

Anyone have suggestions as to where to buy the big rolls of vet bed? Is Ebay the cheapest?

Hiya i get mine from pro fleece, sorry dont know website address.

We get ours from Profleece at shows (saves on the postage, as they charge to deliver up here)!!! To find the website just google Profleece, I think it is www.profleece.co.uk.

Thanks, I saw theirs but it didn't have a nonslip backing which I have had in the past and liked, I ordered from Ebay.
