scothunter 12,609 Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 Again I'd be wary of anything that a dog could swallow, that could possibly do it harm. I've never heard of greyhound men using shredded plastic. But hey things move on from my day, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wxm 1,638 Posted October 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 the run's are covered and are dry its just when your out and they you put them back in wet the paper goes to mush, tried the vet beds but they shread them and shavings is out of the question as it gets everywhere, so just looking for other alternatives Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stripes 401 Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 Towel dry the dog off with old towels that the mrs doesnt know have gone missing,, and unless your dog floats in the outside run ,they will carry water on their feet to the bed. is their a greyhound track near you ,they would be the fellas to help you.
