This is just what my dog’s needed. The temperature can drop below freezing here in NM, so I jerry-rigged a tent in my garage… for my 2 outdoor dog’s. Feeling that was’nt enough, I put a large heating pad inside the tent. The pad helped for sure, but I still felt that it just was’nt enough to keep them comfy cozy. So, I purchased this “Portable Electric Space Heater”, and wow… what a difference. I placed it in a large cage, partly inside the tent. The dog’s do not have access to the unit or it’s cord, but can enjoy the heat it put’s out. And the unit has plenty of cool air in the garage. I set the temperature dial on it’s lowest 750v setting with the fan on low. The thermostat, it’s best feature, turn’s it on and off accordingly. I turned it on when I set it up, and have not yet turned it off. I bought it for a decent price on sale, and shipping was prompt
