Timid Toad 18 Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 i put vet bed in the summer as its easy to wash and shredded paper in the winter so they can burrow into it i get it from my local solicitors office Quote Link to post Share on other sites

skycat 6,173 Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Like TT: vet bed in summer: just for something soft to lie on: stops kennel sores and dogs are more comfortable. Straw in winter: lots of it: wet cold dogs back in from work can burrow into it and dry off fast; roll around in it and mud just falls off their coats. Change it every week and burn old. The only thing to watch out for is ticks and fleas from straw: I regularly spray the kennels with Acclaim 2000 or Indorex (not for use on the dogs themselves: kills eggs and larvae as well as adult fleas etc) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
