Should I purchase additional heat packs for use with a new lab puppy, or will the rice bag suffice?

I found that our lab puppy did not need the heat packs once they did not work anymore. We continued to use the heartbeat and replaced the batteries.

We never used anything for heat, I truly believe the heartbeat does the job, really amazing!!! Good luck with your new pup, Bella will be 4 months on May 10th, and she still loves her snuggle puppy.

The heat packs last a long time so you may want to get extras. My puppy is a lab mix and this worked wonderful until he got old enough to chew it up! :)

Our 7 week old lab seems to like the constant heartbeat we put a reg pillow in his crate and he sleeps fine I would suggest try rice bag and see how puppy responds

Yes more than enough space.I use it for my 22lb pug and he has plenty of room and it zips close at top and one side panel. Its like a mesh but I dont see mosquitoes getting in it.

There is a 24 hour, one-time use, disposable heat pack that comes with it, a small canvas bag made for the battery operated heart and the dog.

You might be able to fit a tiny amount of food, but the zipper is pretty tight when you zip it up empty. I would say you would want to wait so your pup can get a full serving.

Here's a great link with info on the research that has been done and alternatives to vacuum sealed bags. http://nomnompaleo.com/post/12463202060/cooking-sous-vide-plastic-safety

Go with the southwest bag and get a window seat where the under seat compartment is more roomy. This bag with a dome arrives folded, and with a kink in the dome framing.nwhen you put it under a plane seat it cramps into the dog area and is very confining.mi ended up purchasing the southwest bag, and my dog was very relaxed in it curled up napping. I think that southwest square bag would be just fine for your dog.

I have not had any problems with the heat packs and I have not noticed any odor.most of the time I leave them in their beds and contact with their own body heat is all that is necessary.I have them for both of my yorkies.Love them.

I believe that might work, its very expandable but be warned, there is no ventilation other then that little opening where the top comes together and the thing is quilted and that for hot. I also dislike that there is no way to close it down entirely, that vent hole is big enough for a small dog to slip out, a mesh closure there and more ventilation would make that bag much more usable.

Me personally, I would go with the bigger crate. I have a lab puppy approx. 4 months old and there is more than enough room. We really love it. I hope this helps.

I am not sure as i have never tried it without the bag..the bag itself is padded, therefore it feels as though it is insulted to help keep the food warm. With the bag and the food not warmed to steaming (as it's for my 5 yr old) the food stays warm for five hours, so maybe it would not be as long as that if you did not use an insulted food bag.I hope I was a bit helpful.

Depends on what type of food, how full you fill the bag as well as bag size and oxygen pack size. We found in these bags if we stored say rice and filled the bag near full, one was enough. Otherwise two is called for, in fact I ordered additional larger packs for when we estimated a need. Tip, try to force all the air out before you heat seal, my wife is particularly good at this. In many cases thats all it takes to make sure one is enough.

I love mine but i only have one puppy that is 7 pounds. It give him room to move around in and also his toys are snacks can be transported. i think there would be plenty of room for your two pets.

Hi. If they are going to share, I'd get the biggest one. I have a smaller lab mix and altho I got the second largest, I think two labs would be more comfy on the largest one. Hope this helps.

Depending on the number of dubia ordered and size of the container. A plastic tote with flex watt or some similar under tank heater attached to the side is best. Unless you have a high ambient room temperature. If you are using just for feeders and not growing them to a larger size or breeding them then the container would be fine for temporary housing.

I have a medium pack for a 90lb dog. For a typical hike, in each side I put a 1 liter nalgene bottle, a small bowl, and a ziplock bag with three cups of dry food. That's a day's worth. There's enough room left over for food for maybe another day, but not 3-7.

I think it would be fine. This bag has really held up for me -even over a year later. I have used it on a train. It is not good if it will be very hot - but otherwise ideal. The dog can have complete privacy if needed or one or two open panals.

I would get a 4 cup capacity or larger. You want the dog to have room to move the food around without spilling. A water bowl should be at least as big.
