Can this be used in an outside dog house that has some hay inside as well?

I suppose but I honestly wouldn't bother. You could get polar fleece cheaper. As long as straw is clean and dry it should be warm enough.

I had made a small cat house from Rubbermaid containers (instructions on line) and the instructions called for hay as a base and I put the self warming pad on top. The cats like it so I am sure it should work for dogs as well. Obviously the cats can't tell me. My sister's cat is indoor and she uses it all the time. So far 2 of my sisters have the outdoor cat houses for feral cats with the pads. It has to be better than just a towel or whatever. I would get the largest size for a dog house. Good luck

I think it could, but you have to make sure it is packed around it pretty good. I know it will not work with under 32 degree temperatures...

I use it in an outside dog house. This pad is the only thing in sight that this puppy hasn't chewed up...she must like it! If you have other stuff in the dog house, make sure this pad is on top so it will be next to the dog.

Hi,We are using the large pad with our American Bulldog in an outside dog house. I would probably try putting the pad ON TOP of the hay--as it is the dog's body heat that makes the pad keep him/her warm. Our outside dog guy LOVES the pad, and our older indoor shar-pei who has a touch of arthritis, loves his cozy pad. Good luck with yours. I could not be happier with any purchase. ;-)

Yes it can. The hay will add warmth and insulation as well but it needs to be on top of the hay as the body heat from your dog warms it. I use it with the Snuggle Safe pet warmer.

I'm using mine in an outside dog house with an old chair cushion inside. I don't see why it would not work on hay. My dog actually pulls hers out of her dog house onto the porch to lay on during the day. She loves it.

I don't see why not. We have it in an outside dog house on top of a one inch deep mat. Our stray kitty stays in there a lot. Anything to help give them some warmth.

It isn't designed for indoor use as the dog probably could not enter the room or house with the unit on. It is made for outdoor use and when it's working correctly it is perfect for keeping them inside the barrier. The area covered is way bigger than a couch!!!!

we thought about putting plastic over the opening. just glue it or screw it on top of hole like a door flap. but if you put enough hay inside they realy dont need it.joey

Yes, absolutely. As long as its inside the doghouse so it doesn't get rained on, then it will work fine for your purpose.

Depends on the size of the bale but no more than 12. It isn't deep enough to get a normal bale in sideways so you would need to stack them horizontally. That being stated, if yours are the little 2 foot bales you could maximize the space and possibly get up to 24 in there- maybe. All in all, this is not a great hay storage solution in my opinion.

Depends the dog house was very small for my pet..it's more for a chihuahua or a small doggie and dog house doesn't have ventilation so it may get too hot in the summers.

I would sure think so.....Do you want your hay short? It would be really short peices. I don't se why it wouldn't.

I can't see why not, my only concern would be possible irritant to the horses. Also keep in mind that this product needs to be activated by putting it into the dryer.

I put some hay in it for my dogs just to snuggle in during the winter. They don't use them in the summer. But take note that i have three large dogs (husky, lab, & shepard) so they are able to tolerate the weather better

I would not use this indoors. Highly toxic. I don't even let the dogs in the area for several hours after using. It does tame the skeeters up here in Ak! Good stuff!

If you can store the hay in a place where it is safe from light and humidity and kept at around 65 degrees there's no reason it couldn't last you at least 6 months. Don't put it in plastic bags though and you have to be sure no little critters or bugs can get into it.

Yes, I only use it outdoors. I put it in the shed if rain is expected, though.

I wouldn't think so, unless you kept it in a sheltered area and insulated it. Rabbits do better in cold than hot, our rabbit is a burrower, so i used fencing on the bottom, which it did not come with, if you left yours open on the bottom and they burrowed in the ground then yes it would be ok in your area. But I would still put it in a sheltered area, like up next to the house/garage.

Yes it could, just make sure not too tightly so the lid can swing, the lid goes back a bit as it rotates about the hung point. Recommend this be used under roofed area. Driving rain will run down the front flapper and wet the food. Amazing how fast dogs figured out how it works. My smart Lab after just one explaination. Stoopy dog had it after watching the others for about a day.

The dog house that I have is outside and on my patio but under some cover. It functions quite well meeting my needs. I allow my dogs outside frequently and when they want they have a place to lie down.

I only use it indoors. Depending on the dog don't think it would be goodfor outdoor use.

no, no, no !!! doing so will let outside animals ( rats, other cats, even birds, etc...) eat too. just rethink it very closely. i use mine for two large dogs, inside of my house, and just love it!
