When Can Puppies Regulate Their Body Temp.? I was wondering at what age can a puppy regulate their own body temperature/shiver?:aimeeyork |
i myself was wondering this too! my pups are almost 3 weeks old....do they still need the heating pad in the box? the room is well heated |

Yep, I agree. 3 weeks until they can begin to regulate it on their own. |
Needed the answer to this :) Thanks ladies. I'm in Las Vegas and we haven't put air on in the house and its hot in here (summer time) lol. But its perfect temp for babies. |
A heating pad is the perfect solution for puppies, even for a singleton. We give them 'heated room' leaving the heat pad ocupying half of the bed space ( I ilke to keep it safe under the bed, no risk of burning ) and half of the bed is not heated. We clearly see puppies coming and going to and from the heated area as they need it. I live this set up up to 6 weeks or more . New England gets unpredictable weather and I often observe older puppies, 5 to 6 weeks old, seeking the warm side of the bed. For me is sign that they still need some extra heat. Xoxo |
