Infrared Heat Lamps are ideal for whelping boxes and young puppies, as they provide overhead warmth that simulates natural sunlight.

Wall-Mounted Panel Heaters are recommended for maintaining a consistent ambient temperature in larger spaces, such as boarding kennels, without creating isolated hot spots.

A thermostatically controlled heat pad can provide localised warmth from the floor and may be useful for dogs that benefit from additional warmth. Our heating pads are designed to provide controlled heat, but a heater should not be used as a treatment for arthritis or another medical condition. If your dog has a health condition, ask your vet whether additional heat is appropriate.

Signs that a dog may be cold can include shivering, seeking warmer areas, curling up tightly or appearing uncomfortable. Puppies, older dogs and some dogs with health conditions can be more sensitive to cold temperatures. Make sure your dog has access to a suitable, dry and sheltered environment. If you are concerned about your dog's health or ability to regulate their body temperature, consult your vet.

Kennel heaters can be used safely when they are suitable for the intended environment and are installed, positioned and operated according to the manufacturer's instructions. Keep heaters away from bedding and other combustible materials, maintain the required clearance around the heating equipment, and make sure cables cannot be chewed or damaged. Never cover a heater or obstruct its ventilation.

The correct position depends on the type and model of heater. Always follow the manufacturer's installation instructions and maintain the specified clearances from the floor, walls, bedding and other materials. For example, the KENNELSTORE Deluxe Infrared Kennel Heater Pack specifies a minimum clearance of 1 metre from the ground. Keep electrical cables positioned safely away from your dog and areas where they could be chewed or damaged.
