kola Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 keeping dogs warm and comfy in the colder months-especially rescues in kennels; Has anyone tried the snuggles, it's a disc shaped thingy which goes in the microwave, no wires, thought we would try for a kennel dog, goes under the bed? also has anyone got a plastic bed which heats up, plugs in, did you get yours online-we really need one for an oldie, staffie sized but out of stock on the main site we tried 30 inches size Amanda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cycas Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 I've got Snugglesafes for my bunnies. They seem to hold the heat quite well. Re the heated bed, just a thought but for our oldie cat Java we rigged up the base of a heated propagator as a bed (thing you use for germinating seedlings). Not sure if they come in Staffy size and obviously you'd want to be sure they weren't going to chew it, but might be worth a thought? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranirottie Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 for the old Staffie couldn't you use a puppy heat pad? the sort that plugs into the mains and stays warm but not hot? that is if there is a nearby power point of course! x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the dog doesn't move to much out of the bed they can get sweat sores on their under carriage. Could also please have via PM your address as it happens that I have a staffy sized spare warm coat here from Tango which I would be more than happy to give your oldie staffy, from one oldie (who I had because of you ) to another oldie.
