Country_est Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 (edited) Have used hay for a few years, but found some dog beds for £5 each on the market that they are using at the moment. They both sleep in an outside kennel built into a 6x4 shed. Trev Edited September 24, 2008 by Country_est Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cushat Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Shredded cardboard outside in the kennel. Found it better than shredded paper/newspaper as it doesn't clump together when it gets wet. Slightly dusty, but then so are all the shredded paper and straw options. She sleeps outside all year unless it drops well below zero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
