Kozy Kennel Therma Kennel Heater

Why is climate control important in dog kennels?

Proper climate control ensures that dogs remain comfortable and healthy by maintaining optimal temperature and humidity levels, which helps prevent heatstroke, hypothermia, and respiratory issues.

What temperature should I maintain inside the kennel?

For adult dogs, temperatures between 65°F and 70°F are adequate. In whelping areas and nurseries, room temperatures can be between 70°F and 75°F, with surface temperatures where puppies are located at 90°F during the first week, decreasing by 5°F each subsequent week until reaching 70°F.

How does humidity affect kennel environments?

Maintaining appropriate humidity levels (ideally between 40% and 60%) helps prevent the growth of bacteria and mold, ensuring a healthier environment for dogs.

What are the risks of inadequate climate control in kennels?

Poor climate control can lead to health issues such as respiratory problems, heatstroke, hypothermia, and increased stress levels in dogs.

What is a therma heater? A therma heater is a heating appliance that generates heat for commercial structures and homes. The igniter included with the kennel heater is responsible for starting the combustion process. The igniter is generally included in gas-powered heaters and is used to ignite the fuel-air mixture to generate heat. Electric heaters don’t generally require igniters. 

In the cold winter months, your dog’s kennel may get quite cold. Keeping your dogs warm in the chillier months is a priority, especially for breeding kennels or kennels with whelping dogs. Using a kennel heater offers several advantages.

First of all, a Kozy Kennel Therma Heater will offer comfort for your dogs, especially short hair varieties and dogs that are sensitive to cold temperatures.

Because exposure to too much cold weather can be harmful to dogs and may cause a host of health problems, installing a kennel heater may save you some headaches. Dogs that are in the cold for too long may become susceptible to hypothermia or joint issues.

Generally, heaters like the therma heater come equipped with safety features to prevent accidents in the kennel. This can help to keep both the owners and the pets safe.

In the colder months, a therma heater can help keep the kennel warm and the temperature regulated, preventing the dog food and the water in the dog bowl from becoming frozen.
