Manufactured from sustainably sourced virgin pine and spruce, Blue Frog is heat sterilised to provide 100% dust-free horse bedding that supports optimal respiratory health and associated performance. Blue Frog is an excellent bedding choice for animals with heightened sensitivity to dust and other allergens.
The heat used in the drying process ensures no fungi, spores, or bacteria are present in the bedding. We continuously monitor our bedding independently with micro toxicity tests carried out to ensure the natural sterility of our product. The nature of blue frog large flakes allows us to remove all small particles thoroughly. This stage in the process is the most significant for horses’ health. Horses are susceptible to dust, and it is imperative to keep dust to a minimum. Once sensitised, horses can go on to develop allergies which will impair their competitive performance. Blue frog allows you to minimise the impact of the environment on your horse.
Once dried and dust extracted, the flakes are baled and palletised without being handled by hand. This streamlined aspect of the process keeps our efficiency of supply up and costs down. Blue frog horse bedding is created from virgin timber; it is not made from a recycled waste product. Yet when you choose blue frog, you are helping plant more trees, as all our timber comes from government managed Coillte forests. Having control over our raw material gives us two main advantages. Firstly our product has no risk of contamination from the processing used on waste timber or spores present in organic or non-sterile bedding.
