EHS Sofia 50 is a 12V 50W electric heater designed to help heat small and medium outdoor dog houses during the colder months. It provides more heating power than Sofia 30 while keeping energy consumption low, making it especially useful when the dog house is more exposed to cold or the dog needs extra warmth.
Made in Italy from finned aluminium, it is a durable heater designed to distribute heat gradually. The unit is mounted inside the dog house and operates at 12 VDC through its supplied power adapter.
Outdoor dog house heater: when should you choose 50W?
An outdoor dog house is exposed to wind, moisture, heat loss and much lower temperatures than an indoor environment. Sofia 50 is designed to provide more thermal support than the 30W model without reaching the power levels intended for larger kennels and shelters.
It is particularly suitable for:
- small or medium dog houses;
- outdoor dog houses and winter shelters;
- small and medium-small dogs;
- short-haired dogs or dogs that are more sensitive to low temperatures;
- shelters that need more heat than a 30W heater can provide.
How can you keep a dog house warmer in winter?
Heating works best when the dog house can retain warmth. For this reason, it is advisable to protect the entrance from wind, keep the inside dry and reduce direct contact with cold ground.
Sofia 50 is not intended to turn the dog house into a heated room. Instead, it creates a warm zone close to the dog, helping the animal cope with the coldest hours of winter.
12V heating for a dog house
The heater operates at 12V DC. The supplied adapter converts mains electricity to the low voltage used by the device.
The combination of low voltage, robust construction and fixed installation makes Sofia a solution specifically developed for dog houses and dog shelters.
Sofia 30 or Sofia 50?
For a small, very well-protected dog house, the Sofia 30 may be sufficient. Sofia 50 provides 50W and is more suitable when the structure is larger, more exposed or the dog is more sensitive to cold.
Sofia 50 or Sofia 60?
When moving from a normal dog house to a larger shelter or a small kennel, it may make sense to consider the 60W Sofia 60.
