ALPHA-Dri™
The best bedding material available. Made from alpha cellulose, ALPHA-Dri is exceptionally absorbent and always consistent. The bright, white color aids in animal observation. Can be used as contact bedding or as a tray lining. Autoclavable. Also available certified and irradiated.

ALPHA-Cob Blend
Also known as Shepherd's Specialty Blend, this well-known product is a blend of two premium beddings, Alpha-Dri and corn cobs. The Alpha-Dri provides excellent absorbency and the corn cob provides maximum ammonia control. It also provides enrichment as the animals work diligently to separate the two typed of bedding in the mix. One bag fills 70 standard mouse shoebox cages. Available irradiated and in bulk totes.

Cellu-Dri Soft
Cellu-Dri Soft is made from recycled cellulose fiber. It provides incomparable absorbency and defined composition. Cellu-Dri Soft can be used as a direct contact bedding or for tray lining. Cellu-Dri Soft is less dusty and more absorbent than wood. Packaged in high strength autoclavable bags.

Paperchip Pelleted Bedding
Paperchip is manufactured from recycled newspaper. It is virtually dust-free, absorbs moisture and controls ammonia odors. Because of its high absorbency, Paperchip is frequently used for diabetic animals. Can be used both as a direct contact bedding or as a tray liner. Packaged in 35 lb. autoclavable bags.

Enviro-dri
Enviro-dri was developed for large animals, canines and pen-housed primates. It is also an excellent nesting material. Enviro-dri is made from 1/8 inch strips of paper fibers (50% recycled papers and 50% virgin kraft paper). The paper strands provide a soft, springy comfortable mat. Virtually dust-free, it helps drastically reduce problems related to airborne particles.

ALPHA Pad
ALPHA Pads are made from 100% bleached cotton staple fibers. The sheets are cut to fit standard mouse shoebox cages. Cages are easy to fill and rodents love to shred the pads. Very absorbent, a shredded ALPHA Pad will absorb nearly 20 times its own weight. ALPHA Pads are autoclavable and are also available irradiated.
