These work great for the dogs as well as the birds. We cover the indoor cage with one at night, so the birds do not feel any drafts, and to help them sleep longer, so we can. It is also great to spread an old sheet out on the floor when you clean the cage, as it keeps the seed contained. Then I just gather up the sheet and shake it out outside.

Pros: for all pets.

Cons: none

With a large family and lots of pets, we go through towels like crazy. I save all the old ones for petbeds, cleaning messes and my husband in the garage. We dont throw them out until there isnt anything holding them together anymore.

Pros: none

Cons: none

We use an old towel under the dog bowl and in the cat's carriers. We use old sheets to cover the dog beds when the dogs have a messy treat. It's a nice way to reuse items that will otherwise be thrown away and it's also a way to keep the house clean and the pets comfortable. However, it's now always the prettiest method possible.

Pros: so many uses, inexpensive, environmentally friendly

Cons: not always the best option

My local shelter always has "old towels" near the top of its wish list. It bathes a lot of dogs! There's no substitute for terrycloth towels; they're "thirsty," making them perfect for drying furry critters. I use old sheets on the floor for my dogs to do their inevitable post-bath rolling. Old flannels are best.

Pros: Necessities for dog bathing

Cons: None

Gosh, what can I say, it's always great to have these things lying around for tons of things for dogs and cats.

Pros: Can be used for anything and cheap!

Cons: None
