Using Heat Lamps & Bulbs for Puppies Safely

When using heat lamps and bulbs for puppies, it's essential to take precautions to ensure their safety:

• Position the heat lamp at an appropriate distance to avoid overheating or chilling the puppies and ensure their surrounding area is safe.
• Supervise the area until you are satisfied that the heat lamp is placed correctly.
• Heat lamps are typically used until puppies reach 8 weeks of age when they can better regulate their body temperature.

Choosing the Right Heat Lamp & Bulb for Your Puppies

There are various types of heat lamps and bulbs available, including:

• Ceramic dull emitter bulbs: These emit heat without light and can be used in deluxe heat lamps.
• Heat lamps with dimmer: These lamps have two settings to control heat output.
• Infra-red PAR bulbs: Available in clear and red glass, these bulbs provide heat for puppies and dogs.
