"I had a very sick bedridden mare for over a year. Only Suncoast could stand up to the constant pressure of a large horse laying down on them, hour after hour- day after day. I got the large flakes. They were dust free and my mare would get so excited when I put them in every week. I piled them in the center and she would lay right down on the middle of them ...sighing... and totally relaxing. Everything else I tried just turned to powder in 2-3 days. I traveled an hour every month to a dealer and it was the best money I ever spent. Super reasonable, super clean, and they held up to the job!"

What goes into the bale, and what stays out
SUNCOAST® manufactures 100% pure pine shavings with NO wood waste, scraps, by-products or additives ever used in the process, sourcing logs only from local timber suppliers who practice sustainable forestry. The shavings are high heat dried at a stage in manufacturing that the company says produces a drier, more absorbent bedding than typical kiln-dried shavings, then screened multiple times to pull out dust. A hands-free, sterile manufacturing process plus stringent quality-control checks for quality, volume and moisture content every hour keep each bale consistent. Packaging uses LDPE 4 recyclable plastic.

How pine shavings keep a horse drier and resting better

The low moisture content and high heat drying make SUNCOAST® shavings highly absorbent, wicking urine and moisture away to keep stalls drier and more sanitary. Lightweight, lofty flakes provide a soft, comfortable cushion the company links to better rest, while the fresh natural pine scent helps combat stall odors naturally without added fragrances or chemicals. Repeated screening targets the airborne dust that can irritate equine airways, which is why barn managers, veterinarians and laboratories favor the bio-secure, low-dust profile.

Why compressed bales add up to better value

Because the bales are Ultra-compressed, they stack, ship and store conveniently, and their lighter weight makes them more economical to ship than loose or bulk product. SUNCOAST® positions itself as a better value than some other bagged shavings and a far better value and quality than ANY bulk shavings. Since first baling pure pine shavings for animal bedding in Ultra-compressed bales in 2001, the brand says it established SUNCOAST® Bedding as the benchmark of the industry.

Are SUNCOAST® shavings really low dust?

Yes. SUNCOAST® screens the shavings multiple times throughout the manufacturing process specifically to remove dust, and the company describes the result as essentially dust-free and sterile.

SUNCOAST® has a fresh, natural pine scent that comes from the wood itself, with no additives or artificial fragrances. The company says this natural scent helps combat stall odors naturally. Because there are no chemical additives, it suits sensitive animals.

Why does SUNCOAST® use compressed bales?

The bales are ULTRA-compressed so they stack, ship and store conveniently, and their lighter weight makes them more economical to ship than loose or bulk shavings. A compressed bale expands to its full usable cubic-foot volume once opened and fluffed in the stall. SUNCOAST® was first to bale pure pine shavings this way back in 2001.

Is SUNCOAST® bedding good for animals other than horses?

Yes. While it is popular with equine disciplines and horse shows, SUNCOAST® is also used for livestock and livestock shows, swine, poultry, gamebirds, companion pets, and in veterinary facilities, universities and laboratories. The bio-secure, low-dust nature makes it suitable across many species. The various flake sizes let owners match bedding to the animal.

How does SUNCOAST® control quality?

SUNCOAST® runs a hands-free, sterile manufacturing process and performs stringent quality-control checks on the baled shavings for quality, volume and moisture content every hour.
