what's the best bedding for a house dog?

[lackenstrand]

At the moment it's a blanket which clogs up the washing machine with dog hairs.... And she ate the previous duvet type thing. She's in the boot room which gets chilly enough in the winter. What alternatives are there?

Mine has an old acrylic fibre cot blanket. He's not very hairy so I don't know whether that would be any different clog-wise to what you already have.

Well she's a short haired lab mix. Maybe I'm not washing the bedding often enough. But man-made fibre is a good idea as I imagine it's easier to shake out the hairs from it. I just thought natural fibres were better - in general.......Thanks

As your dog has a nice natural fibre cover growing all over it already, I think it can probably put up with the next layer being artificial

vet bed is the best stuff. Labs really need some padding under them, as they are prone to joint pron=bs and cold makes it worse.so an old duvet with vet bed on top.
