If the dog is still a pup ..you can do this without having to get electrical heating for him. Make a cardboard dog house and put it in the kitchen..i did exactly that with a few of my dogs. I was recommended this by a vet years ago..the cardboard box will in close his body heat and it will be sufficient and you can put a blanket over the cardboard portion of the dog house..to giver it extra insulation. If the dog is older then 6 months..you probably dont need to do any of that besides a little bed with warm thick fabric making up the doggy bed...that holds heat in it as well. Unless it gets real cold in the kitchen? Remember dogs are able to withstand cold much better then us. [/quote] good advice...britsih bull terriers are an awesome breed..they do have short fur(no double coat) and feel the cold..youve obviously decided he wont be a bedroom dog. the cardboard box/igloo ideas are great for trapping bodywarmth/insulation and are good also for giving the dog theyre own personal space they know is ok for them to be in . you can also buy heat padsthat are placed under their bedding, but it really does depend on how cold your house gets and it does get cold over there...personally if its too cold for me to not have heaters on id not let a dog suffer the cold either. enjoy your new dog though:hf: [/quote]
