Tube heaters canyou get a guard so dog cant chew?

[desertbred 5,490]

the tubular green house heaters are cheap on ebay ,water proof generate some heat a 65 watt one costs the same to run as a 65 watt light bulb so cheap on the bills if you screw it under the bed just put a piece of chicken mesh over it, they are metal encased just keep the flex out of the way or run it through 15mm copper pipe and clip it to the underside of the bed

24p to run a 2ft tube heater under your dogs bed for 24 hours sounds good to me..

used heat mats for the past 4 years and there spot on, i put a piece of thin plywood sheet over it to stop dogs scratching it, its waterproof and it switches itself on and off and cost peanuts to run, got mine from a pet shop it cost about £20. 4 years ago, you can get them on ebay

I prefer to use a heat lamp as with a tube heater the bottom of the bed only is warmed up but a heat lamp above the dog spreads the heat out further and covers more of an area keeping the dog warmer ........

Seen dog heating blankets in home and bargain for £5. Dont know if there any good though?

[desertbred 5,490]

heat rises though a timber bed is not a good conductor of heat once it heats the heat permeates all round a lot cheaper than heat lamps to run and lasts for years. I use tubular heaters when the frost starts on a timer , the slightly more expensive ones have a frost detector that automatically puts them on at a specific tempreture I hve the same ones for the last 5 years
