Infrared heating provides a controlled and reliable way to maintain appropriate temperatures in animal care environments, where comfort, health and welfare are closely linked. It is widely used in kennels, catteries, stables, equestrian facilities and veterinary settings where consistent warmth is essential.
Unlike fan heaters or convection-based systems, infrared heating delivers gentle, radiant warmth directly to animals, surfaces and bedding. This approach avoids air movement, helping to reduce airborne dust and maintain better air quality in enclosed spaces. Lower air circulation can also assist in managing humidity levels, reducing the risk of damp, mould and bacteria build-up.
In larger animal facilities, infrared heating allows for effective zonal control. Specific areas such as grooming bays, recovery spaces or foaling stalls can be heated independently, ensuring comfort where it is needed without wasting energy across unused areas of a building.
Infrared heaters operate silently and unobtrusively, helping to maintain calm conditions for animals while providing dependable, low-maintenance performance. This page explores how infrared heating can be applied across a range of animal and pet environments to support welfare, efficiency and responsible temperature management.
