But becareful Tammy, as a small inclosed room will get much hotter on the 75 degree setting then an open floor plan like the living room and kitchen. If the room is that warm..you probably don't even need a heating pad, since moms body heat and the warm room will be enough to keep the babies toasty.

Even on low...the heating blanket will warm the pups up just fine, especially with mom to cuddle. If you put your hand under Livi, and the pups after they have been on the low setting pad for a little bit...you will see how warm it truly is for those laying on top of it. I use to think the low setting was not warm enough until I found my pups panting and crying because the med setting was much to hot.
I have turned the heat in our home down twice now because it was too hot in there. I feel so bad that she has been this uncomfortable because of me.
I also turned the heating pad to low.

Thanks guys!
