at molly mutt we firmly believe that wool is the best dog bed stuffing on the planet. why? well, we're glad you asked!
the benfits of wool
100% all natural & minimally processed
odor resistant & stays fresh longer
regulates the bed's temperature
with proper care, wool lasts a lifetime
anti-microbial & no harmful chemicals
sustainably & humanely sourced
so, the next time your dog curls up to count sheep, give them the comfort of a wool-filled bed or crate pad.
see what we mean
we use only farms with strict growing standards
- sheep are rotated amongst a number of pastures to allow vegetation to recover from grazing
- we encourage alternative medical care to keep the sheep healthy with the fewest chemicals possible
- no herbicides or pesticides are used in the fields where sheep will be grazing
- to go even further, our wool is randomly spot-tested for harmful chemicals
- wool from the sheep's bottom & belly are separated and sold to other customers
practices that are never used with our wool
- carbonizing - a process where fibers are dipped in acids to dissolve vegetable matter
- chemical crimping - after carbonizing, wool fibers are unnaturally straightened and need chemicals to regain their coiled, crimped structure
- dipping - many farms subject sheep to a bath in a pesticide solution
- bleaching - most wool fibers are bleached & dyed to make them appear whiter — our wool has its natural color
- harmful shearing - the shearing process should be quick & harmless and performed by only highly skilled shearing professionals
- mulesing - removing patches of skin from sheep to discourage infection and flies — none of our farms practice this method
- overgrazing - it harms the land and lowers overall wool quality
