Firstly "Green back" is just a colour, it actually doesnt matter what colour the backing on vet bed is, it all does the same job. The backing does need to be reasonably stiff though. Its the thickness on the front that counts. It needs to be a good deep pile of about 1" thick, dense enough for you to leave finger prints in.
The non slip rubber backing does exactly as it says, it stops the mat from slipping around. Ideal if used on wooden floors, in kennels, backs of cars etc. It is also more flexible than the standard vet beds. Anothe reason why its more popular
BOTH types wash in a washing machine and tumble dry.
BOTH types can be hosed with a pressure washer if you want to wash them outdoors
BOTH types are ideal for kennel use or whelping
BOTH types are suitable for post op care
ABSOLUTELY nothing. It all does the same job. My advice is to use white if your having a litter of pups or kittens or a convalescing pet just home after an operation. If something is wrong it shows up on the white background. Once the pups are born, then change to a coloured pattern, whatever you fancy to suit the litter. Personal preferance is all yours. My litters of Samoyeds are all born on white Vet Bed and moved onto Blue as it makes a lovely backdrop for taking photos. My shibas however are born on White and moved onto Green.
My older dogs are on darker colours, greys, browns etc. It doesnt show the dirt as much. its that simple!
If your showing cats, then either a white or cream is best to line your show cage with.
Other uses for vet beds..
If your disabled and wheelchair reliant, its cheaper than buying the stuff from your local disabled shop for your wheelchair, car seat, favorite chair etc.
Elderly or disabled people can gain a lot of comfort from Vet bed, it reduces bed sore risk
HORSE RIDERS! a vet bed makes a lovely numnah and due to the ease of washing, far easier to look after than a sheepskin!
Babies and children. Vet beds are an ideal pram or pushchair liner. Also a warm snuggly play mat, or changing mat
Bathroom mats or rugs (Especially the non slip version. Why not choose a pale cream or lilac, pastel blue or mint green for the bathroom
Rugs in general for anywhere in the house.. or caravan.. talking of which..
CARAVAN or camper van. PERFECT rugs )
