Now that's fall is upon us -- what does everyone use for bedding in their dogs house? I have an 8 month old Brit and of course he likes to chew on things (especially new) so I'm worried about cedar chips as I've heard that could hurt him.
Thanks

It's not how many breaths you have taken but how many times it has been taken away!
Has anyone noticed common sense isn't very common anymore.

I use straw, sure you hear of bad things but I have been using it for 20 years and only had one dog that had a reaction to it. Cheap and easy to come by, plus it has a great insulating value with the ability to dry unlike hay.

I generally use straw or marsh grass hay if I can find it, that along with a good quality insulated dog house with a swinging door on it.

I just buy animal bedding from the feed store. I believe it is cedar chips but it may be some other type of wood shavings.

temperature lately has been in the low 40's during the night- I put the blanket the mother had the pups on in the partition- they all sleep together and are warm to the touch when they come out at 6:00am- they haven't chewed or messed in the dog house- had the blanket in the house as they like to sleep on it
normally I use straw and will probably soon be putting some in
