I don't use them a lot, these days,.(don't need to,..mine don't run much )....but,..when I was 'walking by night' on a regular basis,.it made sense to look after the dogs.. They definitely kept the wolf from ,.(several doors),..and after a long night on the rabbits or deer,.they needed to be well grubbed up and bedded down,.. nice and warm..

 

Guys who cannot be arsed to cosette their valuable workers,.are fools to themselves....

same here, good stuff above makes nice+warm bed for them ,even though my 2have good thick coats.I towel my dogs down after lamping get dry and even if not wet, it warm up there muscles it cuts the stiffness down next day .

Think they only need coats on at nite when it drops below zero or they can get to nesh and take them off in the day or they won't feel the benefit at nite

Mine get rugged up if its cold or if theyve had a hard night. I will be putting heat lamps in soon though as my white dog really loses condition if hes having a few days hard work cant beat opening the kennel door and seeing them stretched right out instead of curled right up for warmth.

Good warm meal before bedding down for the night also works wonders for dogs that are fit, insulate from Inside out
