R2L Very nice and clean set up.
I have those bath maths in the crates inside the house. Got them of a friend and must say they are really nice. Especially when you got a few terrorist dogs that ruin every other in house bedding you offer.
I think those are bathing maths buddy, i believe the English word for what you're trying to refer to is whelping pads. The ones you got there are stitched al around, i've never seen whelping pads like that before. Anyways, i would try to find blankets for the doghouse, cotton, the rougher the better. Wash them every 2 or 3 weeks if you got a dryer. Good alternative if you don't want to use shavings or straw. Makes for a nice soft bedding for the dogs. And if they get moist you just hang them out over the kennel to dry every now and than.
lol these are one of the most used beddings for dogs, u never seen them before
ill try to find some cotton blankets. my ikea blankets were already destroyed
The reason why the dog lies on wood, is because it is softer than concrete or metal. A mat is a step in the right direction, but I don't think it really is a "soft spot" for the animal. (Would you like to sleep on your carpet or a welcome mat?)
I do agree straw would be too warm for summer, which is why I suggested cedar shavings instead. Fresh cedar shavings also repel fleas, ticks, flies, etc.
Cotton blankets are a very bad idea fellas, I personally know of someone who lost his best female from her eating a cotton blanket that he put down for her bedding.
In the summer months, those vetbeds that R2L posted are excellent, durable and very easy to clean.
the reason he hangs in the entrance is because he likes to watch outside mainly ^^
my older dog likes to sleep on the stones outside all day, while he can walk freely to the couch inside or a big pillow.
let's not act like they are poodles but i always like to improve my setup if possible. what is cedar exactly??? ill look into that
True, there are dogs that eat blankets. Heard of that before, mine doesn't so it's all good.
Those beddings he uses could be eaten also, in fact most fabrics. Those whelping beds were torn to pieces by the pups here. So maybe best to get the cedar shavings indeed.
