Recently connected up armoured cable to my kennel for a heat lamp or tube but went up the kennel early hours this morning (4am) and the dogs were like toast. The straw where they were lying felt like a heat mat. Hot to the touch.

 

Car was frozen solid and kennel roof had a thick white layer of ice on top.

 

Really not sure additional heat is required if kennel and bedding is up to scratch and dogs are dry when put away.

There's decent tube heaters on eBay. You can plug into a timer switch so it just comes on for short bursts or have it on for a few hours. As said though most don't need it. I have insulated the sleeping compartment have a flap on the sleeping entrance and also cover the front of the kennel with a blanket to reduce the stop the cold getting in. You can feel the heat when you open the kennel in the morning.
