DelRio pea gravel is a good one. Don't use landscape cloth underneath.
Gravel drains well and no muddy feet!

We use a good composted mulch in dog runs and never pea gravel. Mulch breaks down and can more easily be replaced/refreshed. I do not recommend gravel and not pea gravel which will stick to paws, spread everywhere and get brought inside.

I used pea gravel and never have it brought indoors. It stays clean, neat and dry.
