Our cats march upstairs to our bed when they feel cold, or burrow down amongst the sofa cushions. Trubel uses a very small cat carrier of waterproof cloth as a hidey-hole, when she feels chilly. If I put my hand in five minutes after she has lain down there the heat around her can be felt.
Try giving your cats a smallish cardboard box , laid on it's side so they crawl in and out through the open end - it will probably work as well as my cat's carrier.
A cushion on a sunny windowsill will be greatly appreciated as well.
Put your dog's basket where there are no draughts and sun, when the sun is shining, and line it well with a mat or blanket - a layer of newspaper under the bedding insulates well.
