What you guys prefer for bedding hay or shredded paper

[Hands of Stone 154]

Don't use hay. It's not bedding.

Chopped straw and shavings mixed

I'd use straw make sure it's changed regular . And dosent get wet . Hay gets full of ticks .

[stone rose 353]

shredded paper turn it once or twice a day

[neems 2,406]

Straw,the papers a pain in the arse to clean and sticks everywhere that gets wet when your cleaning out the run.

Hay will make your dogs itch like f**k as we'll

Ive had dogs lose most of their fur when bedded on straw...

Hay sweats to much . Good wheat straw, but give it a dust with flea/tick powder.

[Treehands 1,417]

Fleece vet bed , washes well an lasts years, no mess either.

[bird 10,013]

just give big blanket , and heat lamp job done, no need for bedding then .!!

Mines on Hay, it doesnt get damp like paper, i,v had no ticks & no itching, but i do put a drop of oil in their feed every day to stop their coats drying out.

I would say there was something wrong with the dogs so.

I've used wheaten straw and nothing else from day one with no problems, and that's for several breeds.

Hay is for feeding to horses and barley straw is a NO NO too.

I would avoid hay as member before says ticks etc can live in hay , straw be better choice but I had a dog develop a infection in it nails due to living on straw even though being changed steady . Good memory foam mat in waterproof cover had to beat in my mind .
