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???
