what do you use for bedding

[R.A.W 1,987]

has to be straw for me and lots of it. i kennel my dogs as a 4 and a three so they keep warm together.

i use bedmax shavings don't stick to the dogs coats the same so not as much mess

[Guest long-tail]

used straw for years but recently decided their coats look shite with the dust it creates so just found a supplier of shredded paper a lot cleaner imo

Old, or even new, duvet's are crap ! They hold moisture and the dogs tear them to shreds !! If your kennel is draught proof, water proof, and insulated enough, you should need nothing more than a raised bed and some old carpet ! Carpet samples can be got for free from all carpet shops or carpet fitters. The main point is DRY & DRAUGHT FREE !! Most dogs are tougher than we think, and prefer a decent kennel, than being in the house !

 

Cheers.

carnt beat shreaded wax paper in the winter with a layer of wood shavings underneath to trap the moisture from hot wet dogs, summer old carpet is fine

Duvets do hold water,,,, of course you can dry the dog befor you kennel them to solve that problem,,, they will shred them given chance ,,, but it best to have a duvet cover on them this certainly helps with mine,,,, Duvets 2.50 from ikea....

Chid; there's some VERY well known people from this site have had their dogs in my kennels, and no complaints, (also had a few of thier dogs in my house and bedrooms, and no complaints from me !!) !! If a dog is good enough to graft.... it;s good enough to be well looked after !!

sponge from my old couch cushions chopped up at the minute but they just rip it to bits and ends up in the yard, the 3 big ones sleep together and keep themselves warm, winter time depends on how bad the weather is,, if its too extreme they will be in the kitchen with a couple of old duvets and back out throughthe day, if you havent gt the luxury of heated kennels you can only give them what you have,

Waxed paper here too, cheap as chips and the dogs like it. Not as much mess as shavings either. I used carpet one time and one of the dogs got friction burns from trying to scratch it up comfier.
