beast 1,884 Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 as the man said, clean dry draught free, i dont really like shavings or such i like something the dog can burrow into if it wants to duvets from the charity shop are great, just throw them away when they get too filthy. i have one of those tube heaters, but as my dogs are in a brick built converted garage, i only put it on if its close to freezing, or if they are wet. if you have a proper kennel, i think size is important. the smaller it is, the warmer it will keep but it should be just big enough for the dog to lay flat on its side if it wants to.

Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 my young bitch was put out side to months ago...at about 8 month,,,shes not taking well to the fire works so soft old me has desided she can come back in,,shes good as gold in the house enyways...fecking dog hairs, that bother me on the kids cloths... Can't see me kenneling dogs again mate. With the thefts that are going on everywhere. I work nights and sleep during the day so any f****r could be messing around the back garden. Padlocks and chains only get you so much security. I wouldn't be able to rest. Them being warm and comfortable is just a bonus. 1 Quote Link to post

Rustypippa 18 Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 I use old clothes in a high sided wooden box with a heat lamp over the top and also got a 2ft tube heater in the shed. Seems to do the trick I find Quote Link to post
kanigra 110 Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 I have high sided wooden box inside block kennels draught free with thick blankets & vet bed but not enough height for a heat lamp so I bought mine greyhound kennel coats just to wear through the night on cold nights & they love em. Cheap as chips & have lasted 3 yrs this year & still look like new when there washed plus no expensive electric bills. 1 Quote Link to post
