How to Get Dog House Warmers

While dogs can generally endure cooler temperatures than humans, they still need help keeping warm in the winter, especially if they stay in a dog house outdoors. Dog house warmers are widely available and are something your dog will thank you for when January rolls around. Put the heating pad in the dog house, plug it into any 110-volt outlet and turn it on to keep your dog warm.
