lakeman 12 Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Pop down to Robert Dyas and buy yourself a cheap paper shredder for about £20 and shred up your old news papers... cheaper than vet bed and no mites you get in straw Quote Link to post

welshwizard 33 Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Hi there, have you got a timber yard by you? If you have you should be able to get pine shavings from there. They are brilliant, they obviuosly smell of pine, which is not a bad thing, and if you put enough in the beds they are very warm. Also if your dogs get wet, they will dry them off. Quote Link to post
