I used to use one of those tubular greenhouse heaters Terry, different wattages  can't remember were I got it from but it kept my two ticking over in. The winter months

I tried a heat tube like that and it was rubbish compared to the heat lamp...

if you go for a heat lamp...go for the bigger more professional looking ones ...also get a ceramic bulb not a red bulb...them red bulbs seemed to blow after a few month

Yep heat lamp all the way. Put a hook in the ceiling attach a chain to the lamp and you can raise and lower it as the weather gets colder or warmer. All I’ve used for donkeys years.

Don't need um round here even in winter it's 2 bollocking hot

Only time I used one was when we had a litter of pups but other than that I just put some straw in kennel and it keeps them warm anufe ,

If your getting a ceramic make sure you put a lamp guard on it and I'd advise a dimmer to raise  lower temp as  they get really hot ,they eat the electric as well but better than a red bulb

I wired mine through a room thermostat.. that way it clicks on and off throughout the night.

Well son in law top fella picked this up at boot sale for fiver. Its a 250 bulb though and christ throws some heat.

 

 

Due to the size of bed area only five foot high it is too much.  So I have ordered a 100 ceramic and will try that. They cheap enough. Will get that plastic pipe away from the cowl too. For some reason I just thought they were normal light bulbs only bigger. Guess the clue is in the name Need to make sure it's safe more than any thing from point of view of heat and the leccy cable

Heat tubes are the way forward, mine have one in each bed and is warmer in their beds than the house some nights  but leave them on from about 4pm until 7 am next morning an costs 50p to run all 3 of them, I put a thermometer in was it was -4 and was still reading 16 degrees in beds with 2 foot of waxed shredded paper

only time I ever use a heat lamp is  for the first 2 weeks if pups are born outside autumn/winter time or when one of the terriers has had a good face full I will keep them in for a few days

a good insulated kennel should keep all but the very oldest dogs in good condition,if they get to 11/12 then I bring them in
