"slab" insulation - oddball query :-}

This is probably one of the strangest posts i've ever made, but...We've got a dog that likes to be outdoors - but not to the extent of wanting to be in a kennel*. It has free access inside through a dogflap, but likes to lie outside and listen to the noises of the night, and a little bit of birdsong occasionally in the early mornings.Are any of the "slab" insulating materials like Kingspan suited to being laid bare outside without protection, not soak water like a sponge - yet be dense enough to not crumble particularly easily (polystyrene could be messy) ? FWIW it's a large labrador**I'm just thinking if any of it might be suitable, I might pick some up, throw it on the patio, and see if I can encourage it not to get too cold :-}* / ** she's the biggest labrador bitch the vet had ever seen (_not_ overweight, just very tall) and was stunned to find it weighed over 45 kilos even as a youngster (before she got to full adult "filled out a bit" size) - she's half as tall again compared to an average lab :-}TIA :-}

I think you might have a small leopard there. Time to dust that keyboard :-)
