winter

Hi,

I'm just wondering do people do anything different in the colder months to keep their dog warm?

Sky has started to open two doors in the middle of the night to get under our duvet. She's never done that before so I'm thinking she may be cold.
she sleeps on our sofa with blankets.
I'd love to get her a cozy den bed but are all too small or expensive!
Also give her a hot water bottle with cover at bed time and when we leave for work?
She's not keen on clothes or jumpers.
any hints or tips?
Maybe a covered crate packed with blankets?

We don't mind her coming in our bed for the moment but not long term. But we want her to be warm.
heating comes on twice a day and that's it for half an hour a time.

they do like coming in to beds at night ,just make sure she has enough bedding to keep her warm,you can buy cheap quilts from all the supermarkets,sash has a winter coat she wears when we go walking if really cold

Toots sleeps in her crate which is a cosy 'nest' packed with 3 duvets. She loves it and its lovely and warm.
The duvets are cheap to buy and easy to wash

lol she prob just wants to be with you, mines does it as well and did it during summer i live alone so its not a problem for me. Looking for a coat or hoody for her the now as she doesn't seem keen on cold evening walks.

Yeah . I love her In bed with me but it's a bit of a squash! Think I will give her a spare duvet until pay day. Then buy her an indoor crate to cozy up!

Vinnie wont wear jumpers and such like either, but his crate is completely covered with a proper crate cover, so could go in thereif too cold.

Rocky always sleep on the bottom of our bed and sneaks under the duvet for a cuddle when it gets colder at night, not that I mind in least

I've just bought a self heating pad. Anyone know if they are any good? Was only 4 pound!

Gus always sneeks under the quilt , I don't mind but he takes all my room as well , thay love to cwtch up lol

Lula has a big pillow dog bed in her crate and i put a blanket over her before going to bed. I`ve just got her a new winter coat she looks like a doggie father Christmas

My Flo just snuggles into her blanket on the sofa. Given half a chance she would be in my bed and pushing me out

We completely shut both doors last night but heard her crying at 6am! Oh noooo

At that time, maybe a quick trip outside and back to her bed with a treat will help; she is still a pupl ! I can recall doing this with Madge at that age.
