Q & A: Bedding & Grooming Help

Question: Bedding & Grooming Help

“I own four mixed-breed dogs, three of which I keep penned. I would like to know what the best bedding would be for a doghouse – burlap, straw, or wood shavings? Also, what are the necessary tools for grooming short-haired dogs?”

Answer:

For many reasons, it is recommended that burlap be used for your doghouse rather than straw or wood shavings. And a nylon-bristled brush is really the only essential grooming tool you will need for a short-haired dog. After brushing, rub your hands along the dog’s coat to help stimulate replacement oils.
