stabba 10,745 Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 Carpet through the summer..then as it gets colder i give em each a double quilt...never had any problems with cold dogs...although having a good well insulated draught free kennel is just as important as the bedding imo..atb stabba 1 Quote Link to post
Tiny 7 1,694 Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 Same as myself Stabba carpet in the hotter weather easy too manage easy too source, Then when the weathers on the change its a bit of carpet back over there box's enterance and all i do is get a few of the supermarket home brand bedding quilt coverrs and fill them with staw that way it dont go everywhere and can be emptyed straight into the bin, and refilled.. But like you say a draught free box IMHO is the most important thing that way the can hold condition without shivering and lossing weight trying too keep warm Quote Link to post

When they are wet?? Do you not rub/dry your dog down before bedding it down after a hard day/night ? plus my dog run has a good roof on so when it rains the pen dont get wet. Quote Link to post
Tiny 7 1,694 Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 Ha Ha took the word out my mouth, If you towel your dog right after a night on the dazzler its bedding will stay dry Quote Link to post
BenjaminCadd 109 Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 yeah wet from rubbing them down, walking through the house, back of the car, damp then is that better! Mine has a roof and is full or straw and old quilts, i dont get what your trying to get at?.All im trying to say at 50p a pop its no dramas refreshing them every month! Quote Link to post
IN SLIPS 134 Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 Bed mine on quilts all year round, layed on carpet can not be comfortable. When the cold weather kicks in i have an heater on, only on low to take the chill off. This does make hell of a difference. Quote Link to post
