The importance of laboratory animal bedding is often overlooked. Yet laboratory animals are in close or immediate contact with bedding on a continuous basis. Given that laboratory animals are often confined to relatively small spaces with limited ventilation, bedding is another potential research variable with significant implications for research results. Harlan Teklad understands the importance of high quality bedding and we know that not one type of bedding is appropriate for all applications. That is why we offer a full range of high quality bedding products to research institutions around the globe. We offer contact bedding for small laboratory animals such as mice, rats, hamster, and guinea pigs as well as for larger animals such as dogs, pigs, sheep and goats. We also offer noncontact bedding that is higher in quality and more economical than most competing products. Our enrichment bedding combines excellent absorbency and odor control with environmental enrichment. All bedding products are available standard, certified, and irradiated.

Harlan Teklad bedding products are manufactured according to our strict quality standards. Suppliers are audited biannually for compliance. Bedding products are tested routinely for microbiological and chemical contaminants. Many products have been tested and used by Harlan animal barriers. Similar to our diets and enrichment products, Harlan Teklad distributes bedding products through our network of company owned and operated distribution centers.
