Bedding

BEDDING

  • In tropical climate, dogs do not need any special bedding except a clean and dry wooden plank bench for rest and sleeping.
  • A khadi duster or piece of bed-sheet may be comfortable bedding if at all it is necessary.
  • Bitches should be provided with old clean clothes or newspaper for preparing bed (nesting behaviour) before whelping.
  • Dry grass is used for winter bedding in rural areas.
  • A piece of rug may be required in a frosty season.
  • The dogs should be protected from the chill in cold season, from direct solar radiation in summer, and from dampness in the rainy season.
