I need some bedding for my dogs for the winter and they can’t have straw, cushions or card any suggestions?
They can’t have anything soft like cushions because they would rip them up. Any suggestions? Preferably cheap
They can’t have straw because they get it everywhere and i end up having to clean it about 3 times a day and then my mum has a rant at me because my dogs are leaving a mess everywhere and they can’t have cushions because they would rip them up. Any suggestions?

Why can’t they have straw?
Can you put cedar shavings in their houses? Other than that I have no idea. My dogs don’t live outside, so their bedding is my bed! LOL

Why can’t they have straw? That’s what an animal control officer would recommend. If you can’t have straw, or they can’t live in your house, why not re-home them?
My dogs live in my house, and your mother is a jerk..
Not sure what card is in your question but chopped cardboard makes an excellent bedding for dogs as does aspen pellets.
There are also various products made of "chew proof" materials which will allow the dogs to get off the ground, are chew proof and are easily cleaned including:
