thank you all very much for sharing your preferances
i do worry about keeping new pups warm
my first litter has fond memories but the only thing i disliked about it was having my central heating on night & day!
im much more organised these days using seperate heating for my whelping room, we no longer walk around in our underwear

You will be so pleased if you do they are invaluable

Hi, I am a breeder and always like to use lamps (infrared red coloured ones) as not so bright) In winter as they seem to give off more heat. But probably if pups were in the house a mat would be sufficient. We tend to use a 250watt for the first couple of weeks if very cold and then cut down to a lower wattage.

I prefer IR Heat Lamp than Heat Pad.
The former is safe,economic and clean.
For more,you can contact with me directly.

Had my first litter 3 weeks ago. Had the heat pad but ended up borrowing a heat lamp as it was a bit of a struggle for all pups to get onto mat and took up space in box so mum was limited where she could lie. With lamp if she lay under it I just made it point to a different corner.
