Problems in my home kennel

Hello,

I built a kennel for my Airedale Terrier, and have a problem:

The ground cover I was using seems to have caused a skin rash on my dog. So my question is, what kind of ground cover should I use?

I had a mixture of sand and bark mulch, but I think this is the problem.


Any help would be appreciated

in my kennels the runs are concerete easily hosed and kept good and clean,but in the houses them selves are wooden flooring with bedding of a type with suits my dogs,iv known ppl have this problem with wood of sorts for ground cover,i use carpet for sleeping on hope this helps xx

Some bark chippings and mulches are poisonous to dogs, not sure about causing a skin condition, but you may want to read this article.
