Dog box pads
What type of dog box pads do you recommend? Looking for something that's got some cushion to go in my Owens dog box.

Re: Dog box pads
I went to the army surplus store,and bought some light weight canvas. It was on a big roll,and i made my own. They seem to be holding up really good, when they get dirty just hose them off, or take the stuffing out, and wash them.
Re: Dog box pads
Intreped,
What do you stuff them with? I did the same thing for use in my dog houses but made them out of the plastic type gunny sacks. Sewed in heavy duty zippers so I could take the straw or the chipped up corn cob bedding out of them to clean BUT the problem I had was the dogs eitjher chewing or scratching them to shreds. They never made it through a winter in their dog houses. I suppose they would work in a dog haul box as the dogs wouldn't be in them so much.

Re: Dog box pads
I just used foam. These seem to be holding up pretty good also.
