i use hay in the winter  you dont have to worry with fleas in the winter . in summer i use cedar  . a dog can fluff up the hay and bury theresevles in it better than cedar . thus they stay warmer . gonna be expensive this year though .

Get u a bag for your mower and make your own hay that is what I do works well.

Cedar can burn a dogs skin and hay and straw can hold ticks and fleas so mix it. thats what I do
