Guest Rabbitrunner Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 I agree with P&G it is good for drying them off and gives them a nice smell.. Only problem I had with shaving's was that when a bitch I had came into season, she ended up having a bit of an infection as some of the shavings got trapped in her vulnerable area Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tommy 9 Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 I've used a far few types of bedding and at the moment i'm using oat straw. I prefer oat straw as it doesn't break and becoming as dusty as wheat straw, which can be a real pain. Tried using carpet but it became a pain in winter when the dogs were a bit wet the carpet soon began to smell !!! A women with greyhounds who i know uses shredded paper but the paper has like a plastic coating, as the paper is the same stuff that is used in nappies !!!! One thing i always do with straw though is spray with a good insectisidal spray before putting it down for the dogs just to kill any until bugs and fleas. All the best Tommy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
forest of dean redneck 12,023 Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 i just use straw.i had problem with shaving getting stuck in dogs eye,probably freak accident though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ferretess 230 Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Shredded paper is the only thing my dogs will sleep on. Everything else gets kicked out of the kennel and it's easy to get rid of now we have wheelie bins for paper and cardboard Quote Link to post Share on other sites
