I would get one on a thermostat with a shield cover if you had to have one, however if your setup allows would take a good look at an infa-red heating lamp as I have heard they will warm the dog up very well and dry them out well, helps with dogs with aches and stiff joints etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squirrel shooter Posted December 7, 2019 The kennel is a 6x4 shed with 6x4 run attatched to the side of it. An electrician mate of mine is going to run electric into the kennel for me. Just wondered what the best heat tube lamp i could get, what size and watt ect Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or just open shed? If not, you'd be far better off enclosing an sleeping box as the area to heat up would be a lot smaller. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dazb1967 Posted December 7, 2019 I have a tube heater on a thermo in my dog Kennel and as said above, I have a box inside a shed like area and the heater is in the box, Big open space is obviously a lot harder to heat, Its been in his kennel for a few years not but only comes on when its around 0 degrees. https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/DXECOT1.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
