How to keep dachshund warm at night in crate?

I'm trying to figure out the best way to keep my dachshund warm during the night while she sleeps in her crate. She isn't "cold", but I know she sleeps much better when she is warmer.

She doesn't seem to burrow like most dachshunds. So when I put a blanket in her crate she won't burrow under it. She will chew and play with it and when she is done doing that, she will sleep on top of it.

She won't wear sweaters or anything like that.

I do have padded fleece crate bed that she sleeps on, but I want to help her get warmer. I do have a cover on the crate. I was thinking about some kind of heated dog bed/crate pad but not sure what to get. Anyone have an experience with something like that?

You can give her something like this...


I sewed a fleece blanket into a pillowcase and just put loops. If you don't have little knobs to hook on, you can always use a clip like a clothes pin.
