    Yes, you dog has a "built in" fur coat. Also, the dog does not need to be on a heating pad. I’m sure you keep your home at a comfortable temperature. The only thing that you are doing is drying out the dogs coat.

    yes there fur keeps them warm and you giving a pad just helps a little wont hurt the dog.

    You really need to give more details about your dog, but yes, their fur keeps them warm. And the average dog doesn’t need a heating pad to keep them warm at night as long as they have a bed to sleep on that keeps them off the floor.

    Unless you have an old or sick dog, dogs really don’t need the extra heat. For example, I have an 11 year old greyhound (very lean, thin coat) and now that he’s old, he gets cold at night so he gets covered with a thin blanket, but he’s never needed it before this winter.
