Sourcing
Our shavings are derived from slow planed lumber mills using fresh high-quality timber. We work closely with each mill to maintain a reliable supply of clean, absorbent, and soft shavings in a variety of flake sizes.
Kiln-Dried & Heat Treated
Every load of shavings is thoroughly kiln-dried and heat-treated ensuring a low moisture content and maximum absorbency. This process enhances the health properties of our bedding by killing spores and ensuring there is no mold or pests.
Dust Screened
The shavings are then screened to exacting specifications to eliminate dust and fines. Our screens are carefully selected to maximize loft, absorption and coverage. This process ensures that every bale is packed with even more of the finest flakes!
Packaging
All our wood shavings are palletized and wrapped in a UV resistant and weather protective layer that allows them to be stored outdoors for up to 2 years. All our packaging is LDPE Recyclable where facilities exist. We are continually searching for better ways to package our shavings using more sustainable and renewable ways of transporting.
