how do i get my dogs to stop shredding their blankets and beds?

Monday, February 8th, 2010

when i’m gone to work during the day my dogs are outside in the yard. they have a giant shed that is pretty much all theirs. i have dog beds and comforters for them to snuggle up in and it’s quite cozy. the problem? they shred everything after a day or two. as much as i would love to be able to buy them new beds every two days, it’s just not in the ole budget. i don’t want to spray bitter apple or anything like that on the beds if it’s gonna make them not want to lay on them anymore and it probably wouldn’t deter them from shredding them anyway. and i give them each one or two rawhides every day so it’s not for lack of chew stuff. when they come inside they don’t shred our furniture or blankets so what gives?

well i have two pitbulls and they do the same thing chew all of there beds and blankets. What we did was make sure that there is alot of toys and other things to chew on instead of blankets and beds well i hope you find an answer..

Is it safe to run an extension cord from my house to the shed and connect it to an electric blanket?

I want to run an electric blanket in my shed during the winter to keep the outdoor cats warm. Would this be a fire hazard?

NO NO NO NO NO!!!! FIRE HAZARD!!!!! DON’T DO IT!!!!!

An electric blanket was not meant to be kept on all night. It probably isn’t a good idea to run the extension cord over snow/ice.

There is a device we used for an older cat (who has since passed away). We heated it up in the microwave and it stayed warm for about 8 hours. It’s called Snuggle Safe. I am including a link.
