Are heating blankets safe for keeping dogs warm in an outdoor house?

Question

I just bought a igloo dog house for my two doggies, so they have somewhere to be when it’s cold. My dogs are inside when I’m home but outside when I’m not so while I’m at work they’re outside and it’s been getting really cold lately. Hence to why I bought this dog house, but I had a question, could I put heating blankets inside the dog house? I was looking into a heating box but there really expensive. Would heating blankets keep them warm? if you have any other options please let me know please. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 2 years and 1 month old | 15 lbs

I think heating blankets would be a good idea for your dogs. Maybe you could save up to afford a heating box in the future for them. I'd get a couple of heating blankets for the dogs. Put a layer of regular blankets on the bottom of the igloo, then the heating blankets, and a final layer of regular blankets on top. This will warm the upper blankets, but keep them from potentially getting burned if the blankets are hot. I hope this helps!
