Features & Benefits:

• Provides twice the cushion of pine shavings (3” of AirLite is equivalent to 6” of pine)

• Ideal for nursing injured animals (vets use AirLite for treating Laminitis cases and bedding animals in post operative care)

• Being free of dust, mold and small particles, the risk of infection is minimized

• AirLite is relatively sterile and does not harbor mites and pollutants common in other bedding materials

AirLite bedding will have a slightly darker appearance than traditional woodshavings. It will feel far more cushioned and supportive to the feet and legs and you will notice a distinct lack of dust when opening the bags of bedding and walking on it

AirLite Absorbency

• Absorbs up to 4 times it’s weight in water

• Urine is contained, minimizing ammonia

• Minimizes staining of the animals’ coat

• Reduces the amount of bedding needed to be removed

• Does not freeze in winter

• Does not break down or turn to dust like pelleted products

When using AirLite bedding, particularly for larger animals, laying a good foundation bed is important. All our products come in re-sealable bags which enables maximum economy and less waste when topping up. AirLite is suitable for use on any surface. Its ultra absorbency ensures that the bottom layer of bedding soaks up urine, leaving the top layer dry and odor free.

Recycled Cardboard Bedding

Recycled cardboard for animal bedding is becoming an increasingly popular, healthier choice for many animal owners. It is a versatile product that is suitable for every type of animal, large or small, reptiles and birds and beneficial to the environment being 100% biodegradable.

Results from scientific research show that cardboard bedding is particularly beneficial for animals and humans suffering from allergies or breathing problems. Whilst most studies to date regarding dust exposure have been conducted on humans, the effect on animals, particularly smaller species, is likely to be even more pronounced especially as they are in close, continual contact with their bedding. As humans, we have a relatively poor sense of smell compared with other animals, therefore a nasal or respiratory irritant is much more likely to harm many animals which rely on smell for locating food and identifying and interacting with other animals.

With particular reference to horses; the Journal of Equine Veterinary Science recommends using recycled cardboard for horse bedding for prevention and treatment of horses with COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), breathing problems or allergies. Cardboard bedding is super absorbent, cost effective, light and easy to handle. The Canadian Equine Research Council research reports reveal that cardboard bedding is found to be 5 times more absorbent that wood shavings, 6 times more absorbent than straw bedding and twice more absorbent than hemp bedding.
