I used to use a heating pad, but you run the risk of it causing a fire, not working in the middle of the night or being set too high. So I stopped.
I did use a heater for my watering supply for the dogs, however and that is SO worth the money! |
Thank so much for responding. This is the house that we are looking at. Do you think that this will be raised enough? And just straw is good enough, huh???
