Any good ideas on keeping my pup warm on a chilly night?

I made my old pit ball a bed, complete with duvet that she could pull over her but my pup just lays shivering.



I was thinking something along the lines of those cat play tunnels, make something similar to that only more cosy

What have you made or bought to keep your shivering staffy warm?

Knitted jumpers are quite good as are these  as our staffies are a funny sorta shape they're perfect

I used a thick blanket when I had my first two staffs. Are your pup and older dog together. If not I found putting a ticking clock in something like a big bunny slippers made mine feel safe. Something do with replicating a heart beat. My pups would cuddle right into the slipper. On the cat side of things you can buy a cat bed that is shaped like a pyramid and its furry inside and they just climb in and snuggle up, could be worth a try.

Like the cat pyramid idea thumbs up

We do have a jumper for Flo but to be honest she's never really worn it.

I put a fleecy throw in Katy's bed & a larger one on our bed on top of our heated quilt so you can guess where Katy chooses to sleep Laughing Love Struck

Gizmo burrows under the covers, works his way down and then collapses dramatically by my legs. I usually wake up with boiling hot feet and no duvet.

We totally forgot about this when we got Bane! Bless him he only had an old towel the first night or two! Then he soon pinched my fleecey dressing gown and that's what he has slept with since Smile It's quite sad but if he sleeps downstairs in his own bed I always tuck him in under the blanket Laughing

We were contemplating an igloo bed for him at one point but I think it would have gotten shredded!
