I like to put cedar chips in my dog boxes. It seems to keep the fleas down and the dogs smell alot better. I have heard a few people say tat cedar chps can ruin a dogs nose. I never did understand that. Has any of you heard of this or is it just a myth of tall tale?

MYTH!

I would guess it's a myth but it is possible that certain dogs are allergic to the cedar.

I sure hope its a myth I've been using it to ward off mites in my transport kennel boxes.

MYTH..............I used nithing but cedar wood chips and it hasnt had any bad effects yet.

Sounds like a myth started by guys to cheap to buy good smelling wood chips for their dogs.

I use it all the time but winter. Then I use straw.

MYTH!

Thanks guys. That's what I think just wanted peoples opinion.Thanks

MYTH I use them on young pups to keep them free of bugs.
