6' by 6' Fencing will be attached to a shed so the dog can go in and out. What is ideal material for the "floor" of the outdoor run? Concrete? Grass? Mulch? Rubber? Why?
Other ideas?
This kennel is for very intermittent use, as ours is a house dog.

Answer
Dogs should NOT be kept on concrete - bad for joints, feet, etc. Grass would be turned to mud in no time by a bored dog confined in a small run. A good option would be pea gravel - not bad for the dog's feet and easy to hose down to clean it.

Adopting a Dog: What should I bring to the shelter when adopting for the car trip back?

Dana

Hey! Tomorrow (Friday July 11th) we are gonna go for a 1 1/2 hour drive to adopt our second dog! But what supplies should I bring besides credit cards and cash for the dog? Like a kennel? Do they supply those? My other dog will be with us, and there isn't enough room for them both to sit in the back. Should I also bring toys to keep them occupied? Please help!

Answer
Collar; ID tag (if not issued by the shelter); lead or leash; travel crate or travel harness; towels for the dog to lie upon; more towels or paper towels to clean up if the dog should get carsick; trash bag to contain any clean up materials used (if any); unscented baby wipes or moist towelettes to help clean up the dog if it should get car sick; travel water bowl, since it's going to be a bit of a ride, and you may find yourself stopping along the way; water - either for the dog to drink, or most certainly to help clean the dog up if there's a carsickness problem; poop collecting bags if you have to stop for a nature call.

Good luck, and best joy!
