The Process Behind Pine River Bedding Eastern Sweet Pine

At Pine River Bedding, we take a lot of pride in providing our customer with only the best animal bedding on the market. Today, we wanted to spend a few minutes explaining how our product gets from the lumber mill to you, our valued customer. We have now spent more than 20 years perfecting the process of selling only the best shavings made. If you have heard of our brand, then you already know we are known for excellent quality shavings, pellets, and sawdust.

So here it is. This is our "top secret formula" to making great shavings! To quote someone much wiser than myself, "The difference between good and great is in the details."
​

• Quality Lumber- Our process begins with only the best lumber. We use only the highest quality white pine planks to ensure a consistent and beautiful shaving for your animals. All planks of wood are 100% natural (no additives) and virgin (no pressure treated wood) white pine wood.
• Kiln Drying Matters- We use a kiln, and an air drying process. One of the reasons that our product is so much more absorbent than others is because the kiln drying eliminates excess moisture from the shavings. Our Eastern Sweet Pine shavings are only approximately 6-8% moisure. Kiln drying also helps prevent mold and mildew from forming in our product bales.
• Foreign Object Screening- Once we have selected the best lumber and have shaved off some shavings during the planing process, our shavings are then screened to remove any unwanted debris or larger wood pieces that don't belong in the bag. We check to ensure that our product quality is superior BEFORE putting our shavings in the bag.
• Dust Free Screening- Airborne dust particles can be hazardous to the respiratory health of your animals. We screen all of our wood shavings a second time for particle dust. If we wouldn't put our animals on it, we wouldn't sell it!
• Premium Bags- We use only the highest quality paper and plastic bags. They are considerably thicker than most of the other brands on the market. Better bags make sure that all of our premium quality animal bedding is not broken open during transportation and storage. We want our product to show up to your door in the best condition possible.

We have openly said it (and posted it on our website) multiple times. We are not the least expensive shaving you can purchase. There are much cheaper options available.

We offer a higher quality and more absorbent shaving than other companies do. It costs a lot of money to get only the best shaving to your farm or retail store. If you or your customer needs the best product on the market, call or email us and let us price our product delivered to your door.

Great pure virgin wood shavings, pellets, and sawdust. Pine River Bedding.​
