Any idea what would be the best kennel bedding

Any idea what would be the best kennel bedding for a pup going outside i was thinking wood shavings but you lads might have some better ideas ?

[Highlander]

I use wood shavings as a base layer then fill up with straw. Works for me.

Oat straw,very warm and dosen't itch.Wheat straw is very rough but o.k. on a full grown dog

[JA3llis]

Barley straw seems quite popular with a the horsey people. If its good enough for them Im sure its fine for the dogs

Has anyone had any skin problems with straw (with there dog lol) ? The thing is the kennel i have has a removable floor which has a 2" caverty under it which the dog cant get too im thinking of putting a heat matt under it just to take the edge of the cold the next few months dont forget he is only 12 weeks old and he wont be getting this treatment next winter
