With 75W of power and a 32 cm body, it is designed mainly for \u003cstrong\u003elarge dog houses, outdoor kennels, large dogs and more spacious shelters\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMade in Italy from \u003cstrong\u003efinned aluminium\u003c\/strong\u003e, it is a sturdy heater designed for use throughout the colder months, creating a warm zone close to the dog. It can be used by private owners as well as in \u003cstrong\u003ebreeding facilities, boarding kennels and structures with individual dog kennels\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow can you heat a dog house for a large dog?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLarge dogs generally use more spacious shelters, which means there is a greater volume to heat. In these situations, more power may be required than in small dog houses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSofia 75 provides \u003cstrong\u003e75W of power\u003c\/strong\u003e and a larger heating surface than the other models in the range, making it particularly suitable when the dog uses a large dog house or outdoor kennel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHeater for dogs that sleep outdoors\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDuring winter, a dog sleeping outdoors may be exposed to low temperatures for many consecutive hours. Sensitivity to cold depends on breed, age, coat, physical condition and the characteristics of the shelter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA good shelter should therefore be dry, protected from wind and preferably insulated. Sofia 75 can add a \u003cstrong\u003econstant source of warmth\u003c\/strong\u003e inside the shelter without having to heat the entire surrounding space like a room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHeating for dog kennels, breeders and boarding facilities\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSofia 75 is particularly useful when the dog lives or spends many hours in an \u003cstrong\u003eoutdoor kennel\u003c\/strong\u003e. It can therefore be used in private homes as well as by breeders, boarding kennels and professionals looking for a low-consumption heating solution for individual dog shelters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe heater operates at \u003cstrong\u003e12 VDC\u003c\/strong\u003e, while the supplied power adapter converts mains electricity to the low voltage used inside the dog's area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow important is kennel insulation?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHeater power is only one part of the system. An open, uninsulated kennel loses heat quickly, while an insulated structure protected from draughts retains warmth much longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBefore choosing a model, it is therefore important to consider \u003cstrong\u003esize, insulation, outdoor temperature and the dog's individual characteristics\u003c\/strong\u003e together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSofia 60 or Sofia 75?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/en-ie\/products\/sofia-60\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSofia 60\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e is mainly intended for medium dog houses and small kennels.
