Shazza 52 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 If you buy it from a farm or equestrian supplies it's very cheap for a bale compared to a bag from a pet shop. Great if you have a smooth coated dog but a pain getting it out of a longer or rough coat. Don't let it get wet as it stinks rotten, changed regularly it's a decent bedding, comfortable and warm. Hope that helps (and it's just my opinion) Quote Link to post

It's ok for a bedding as long as you can keep it dry. Mixing some cedar in can help with the smell. Otherwise marsh grass is a little more expensive, But, it seems to hold up longer and is softer and warmer I've been told. This is the first year I've tried it. So, I only have a couple months experience with it. ATB Quote Link to post
