Our wee Smudge gets cold during the night, despite having a big soft puffy bed and loads of blankets, and I was wondering about getting him a heat pad.

I remember someone on here linked to a website that sold one that gave a constant gentle heat for about 8 to 12 hours, but I can't seem to find it on the search.

Can anyone help?

Was it this one? - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Snugglesafe-.../dp/B001A36EUG

Thanks! That is just the job

How do you know he gets cold FC?

His bed is right next to my side of the bed, and he wakes me up trying to jump up on our bed - I usually try and wrap him in his blankets to warm him up, but during the really cold snap even that wasn't working - I relented and let him snuggle under our duvet at our feet on those nights, but I don't really like the idea of him being on our bed, nor do I like the idea of being woken up.

When he does wake me up, he feels cold, and is generally shivery - - its not that the room is that cold, but I suppose he is only a wee thing.

have you thought about a covered bed for him? How big is he?

No worries. I have one & they're great.

Not for my pets - I'm the one that uses it!

He is only a tiddler - very small Jack Russell size. We had a covered bed for him before this one, and he would lie on top of the top bit until it flattened and made an extra layer underneath him - saucy wee git

My little terrier liked a cardboard box. We'd close it all up and cut a hole in the side just big enough for him to go in and out.

Chuck a few blankets in there and he was as happy as Larry.

You should realise though, if a dog's fur feels cold it's because the insulation it gives keeps its body warm. Wanting to get into your bed is probably because it prefers your bed!

There is that - he is a right wee sook - loves his comfort and cuddles, and invariably wants to be snuggled in between you and the arm of the chair (which is where he is right now)

Cheaper option = a hot water bottle with a cover

got a snugglesafe with the dog cover and my 6 month old terrier loves it - v good if you need a hottie too

I got my cat a kitty cushion which you put in the microwave it cost £4.99 you can also get a puppy version both from Pets at home/Petsmart, can't remember which name the shop is as I go there on automatic pilot and never look up at the sign lol.
