I think they should have something to lay on, even a towel for a baby will do.

I have two dogs that will go to great extremes to remove or wad the bedding into a corner of the crate... they want it BARE... go figure.

I made a dog bed out of an old sheet. I sewed it together and stuffed it with fiber fill stuffing. I know he will probably chew it. That's why I won't buy a bed for him until he grows up.

Have you tried overstock.com?

I just have two old top blankets folded into a rectangle that fits his crate, hes never pulled them out or tried to destroy them. Now I just leave his crate door open and he goes in there whenever he wants to sleep.

I got a crib mattress and that has been working great

I just bought the Kong one last night. The fabiric appears to be pretty tough - never thought about her opening the zipper.

I think it depends on the dog. My GSD likes to lay on the tile floors in the house, or in the marble shower. In his crate I no longer put anything.

My doxie - won't even sit on the tile floor. She likes padding, and likes to even crawl between the bedding. In her crate I have bedding and a pillow.

I didn't like a lot of bedding in his crate as things get get 'lost' in the bedding and you think he has eaten something only to find out 1/2 of his food is under & between the bedding.

Awesome idea! Never thought of that.

Vinyl dog floor protection pads- Primo Pads

These come highly recommended and with warranty.

Using cheap bathmats is a really good idea if the dog likes to chew or they get ruined often. No sense in spending a bunch of money on something that will need to be replaced every couple of months. I was doing a search and I found these crate pads and they looked pretty cool. West Paw Design Zoo Rest Pet Bed You can throw the entire thing in the washer if it gets dirty which is definitely a plus! There are some really nice dog beds on there too if you run a search by large dog beds.
