| What temp inside your home do you think is best for your baby? We set ours at 71, but today Prince was shivering! I put his sweater on him, and now he is fine. I think around 73 might be better.

| During the winter months we set it at 65 nights and 68 days. The girls are so used to the cooler temps, that they pant if the weather gets up to the high 60's, low 70's. (me too. hehe) We don't like hot weather at all.

| I keep the temp set around 70 also. The other side of the thermostat says it is under 75. I adjust the temp depending the temp outside and myself, not on the dog. If he shivers, which he has I put a sweater on him. |

| 66 inside..all winter. We live in Michigan by the Lake, they don't wear coats or booties to go outside, it would just get in the way of their playing in the snow. They go out in sun, rain, blizzards & hail...take themselves out, we have dog doors. They have a down comforter on the bed & fleece blankets on the couch to burrow in if they are cold.

| Ours is set at 64 during the Winter. We get southern exposure and our house heats up quite nicely when the sun is shining . . .the den's temp on the thermostat (where the dogs are usually basking in the sun) even though it is set for 64 it has read 78 - 80 because of the warmth of the sun . . . On cloudy days they do get bundled up in their beds and usually sleep together. Night time they sleep with us, so they are always warm . . .
