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.

They use it when it's cold, windy, raining, etc. Also if it's in the shade and you have hay, it will probably be cool. I would put it in a place it can receive nice soft wind. Ferals do what they want, and will enjoy it when they need it, not when we expect them to use it.

i don't see why not. I guess as long as you keep it separate from animal use, it would function quite well.

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.

Yes. I use mine exclusively outside, though it's on my deck, under cover of the eaves. It could safely get wet, though. You'd just have to dry off the two platforms and the floor before putting pets back in there again. The cage itself is stainless steel.

Make sure you store it in a dry and room temperature place. I only had 1 bunny and it lasted 3 months. The hay was still good!

We have used the shed for about three months and it's pretty close to weatherproof though not 100%. So no precious antics should go in there but not really worried about tools, law mowers, etc

Hay as in a field grass mixture ? I see no reason why not . I have spread pellet lime , oats,wheat ,fertilizer along with various food plot mixtures with this unit . Only down fall is the neck strap ....this unit really needs a double shoulder and waist harness. This is especially the case with heavy material . I love mine .

I wouldn't simply because while relatively non-toxic it is made for outdoor use. I would be concerned that in a house there would not be enough air movement to prevent too much of the product from building up too much. I would also be concerned about too uch product building up on carpets and cloth furniture

I believe you (could) use this outside. I put one of ours in our dogs crate that is in the garage and it is doing just fine. I believe the sun may be the factor or maybe what you lay it on may damage it. It does have a nice rugged cover but it could be punctured by a sharp object ect. I wouldn't leave it outside for an extended period of time. Our dog loves hers, one is in our living room/dining/room and one is on our bed, we sometimes use it in her crate.

No, It is indoor use only. It will work outside, but eventually the moisture will cause it to fail prematurely.

I have two rabbits and store in garage with no problem. I think you should be fine if you keep it dry.

You would have to put it in a place where other small animals would not get caught in it. We use it in our storage sheds.

Im Not Sure I Haven't Checked That But Its Great And We Use It For Outdoors In The Dog House. :)

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 have this cage and I purchased a corner scatter-proof litter box. I only put the hay inside of the litter box . Before I did this she would pee outside of the cage and the hay would be everywhere! Now I clean her cage out every other week and her litter box is cleaned every-other day. The bulk hay that makes it out of the litter box is pushed into the tray at the bottom of the cage.

I would say that it should not be used as an outdoor dog bed. The cover is velour like and would probably absorb moisture. I always put on old blanket on top of it and then I can wash and change the blanket as needed. We have had the bed about 3 months now and the cover looks great.
