I've used Vetbed for a couple of years now, but never risked tumble drying it. I've got behind with the washing though, and need the stuff I'm washing now dried by this evening! I don't want to risk ruining/shrinking it though.

I always tumble dry it, takes about 30 minutes

I'm sure it can. I don't have a drier tho so just air dry it but its pretty quick that way too considering.

I had some vet bed 'look a like' with a rubber back and it doesn't tumble well. The rubber got sticky and started to crumble and perish. May just have been cos it wasn't the real thing ( although it was promoted as being antibacterial for pets )

Thanks. I've got it drying on a radiator at the moment, but will finish it off in the tumble drier if need be.

I wash mine, then tumble dry it...
It works and it is really warm when it comes out!
