I got mine from a chicken supplies company on the net. I use 175 watt low energy lamps which are the equivalent to 250 watts.

i got mine from a farm store type shop, i have it on 24 7 during the coldest part of winter and have em bedded up on shredded paper, ive always done this and had no problem, dogs look miles better and keep their weight on better, than they would if they were cold, also when they come in from excercise and are wet and muddy and cold, it dries them out quickly.

i use them, got 1 in eack kennel ,red bulbs with guard round the front of them. Even though my lurchers have good coats on them (colliex grey , gsd x grey ) , i have found when there are warm from the lamp it takes alot of the stiffness out of them, as they will strech out. Where as( no) lamp dogs will roll up tight to keep warm, which makes more stiffness.
