Heat pads for dogs

    Just wondering could anyone help me? My dog sleeps in a shed outside. It's well insulated and draught-free etc and she is happy out there.

    Wanna get something extra for the winter and saw people on here recommending a heat pad such as snuggle safe. So I need one for cocker spaniel but was also gonna buy one for my mam's lab who is also in an insulated garage.

    These ones look very small and the lab is a huge chewer so would anyone here recommend this one or do you have any other ideas??

    We have that one - it stays warm all night. I was cold the other week and used it to heat up my bed!! :pac: It's made of tough plastic and comes in a fleece cover - you could wrap it in a blanket to stop the lab chewing - thats what i did with our guy when he was smaller so he'd leave the cover alone. When I got it they had an offer - it came with a dog teddy that pad zipped into it but it was rubbish quality so I wouldn't recommened spending extra for it - a blanket to wrap it in is just as good.

    My dogs sleep indoors but in a conservatory that can get cold. I have fitted a couple of these in their bed. They do a metal version for chewers. You have to follow the instructions carefully but I have used mine for two years & the dogs love them.

    Because they are low voltage they can be easily wired into sheds, kennels etc. They use very little power & I have mine plugged in to a thermostat so that they come on automatically.
