Somewhereyournot 1,117 Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 Weather definitely taking a change here, don't think it warm enough with vet bed and a fleece. Where in south Wales are boys getting that paper? And is it better than straw? Quote Link to post
jeppi26 1,855 Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 Yup the weather as definitely dropped here as well. Am not the one for straw or that wax paper it gets everywhere. The single quilts are cheep at BnM at the minute so I grabbed four for the the dogs( I like to swap them once a week and hang them to air for a day or two) .A cheep silky quilt cover to put on the quilt so the dogs can't rip it open. I have just lined there kennels with underlay as well 3 Quote Link to post
bird 9,969 Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 wax paper is the best, norm the greyhound people (trainers ,kennels etc) have it. if you can contact any by you you get some then, not cheap but bloody good stuff . i dont bother now i just use blankets for them to lay on, and when gets real cold i use the heat lamps, but both my lurchers have good thick coats , being 1x gsd x grey and 1x collie x grey Quote Link to post

MickC 1,825 Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 (edited) Mine are on straw have been for years,I had them on paper a few years ago to try it but for some reason they were forever eating it.Not nice when there bunged up with it and having to give them a hand to pass it .

Daniel cain 46,008 Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 I've tried everything over the years-come home to it all around the runs,last few years I use shavings-6 pound a bale.when it's real cold I give them a warm meal in the evening and a little something warm first thing in the morning before i go to work.atb dc Quote Link to post
socks 32,253 Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 Wax paper all the way ... it's warm soft comfortable ... it dries when the dogs go in wet you can fluff it up every few days ... its around £9 a bale and one bale will do three dogs for two months easily ... you can get it from ystrad mynach greyhound track from the white van outside on race nights ...... 2 Quote Link to post

Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 I like the wax paper but my dogs don't. They eat it and drag it out of the kennel. I've had them on Chopped treated straw (Nedz Bed) for the last 12 months and it keeps them toasty warm on cold nights. Quote Link to post

Even vet bed and the fleece I don't think it's that good for him. Might be over the top, but rather him be warm. Quote Link to post

SINDASOX That's a shame but I've sure if you give the track the ring they will have a contact for the guy or somebody else selling it. Quote Link to post
