Okay, I am putting a dog run in my backyard and was going to put gravel down on the ground. What is the best type of gravel for dogs?

And where should I look for the best deal to get gravel?

I've never seen a play ground with a gate.


I'm just saying...

Well,, I would say Take your shoes off and spend 24 hours in your bare feet on differant grades of gravel. When you can find one that you can stand and lay in for 24 hours... go with that one..

If you have your heart set on gravel, There is stuff that We call squegee, Basicly Just above sand in the size of rocks.. At least it doesn't have sharp edges..

use this or just let them run on the dirt, dirt is easier to pick up the crap on too.

If you don't put a wading pool on one end of the run, Marlin and I will call animal services on you.

Use it to level out underground vaults, pipe runs where required by code and, if you remember to your wrist rocket,, You can have a mini shotgun.

ETA: MB888,, Not sure if that's its actual name,, Just what we more less refer to it as... THe only way I can really describe it is bigger than sand/smaller than pea gravel..

wrong. dirt only will make their pads soft. when running/walking or jumped over fence and hightailing it afterwards the soft pads can get damaged.
we used some small round(1/2"-2') river style rock. this allowed for tougher pads, easier to clean the shit off of, and allowed drained from rain, piss and knocked over water bucket.

I love my dogs, and provide them with nice, soft grass to run and lay in. WTF is with the gravel?

[Irving]

Go in on a group buy with the guys wanting concrete pads for their sheds.
