Product Information

It’s worth thinking about the kind of bed areas your cat is usually attracted to before you jump into finding a new bed. We don’t recommend this as a stand-alone bed because it simply doesn’t have enough padding in the bottom for support, but the self-warming feature makes a great pairing with the Coolaroo or Kuranda beds in colder temperatures and for dogs that need the added warmth. Here we will be exploring what we consider to be the 10 best animal heated pads available on the market today and some of the most frequently asked questions that will hopefully answer any queries you may have. If you’re like other pet owners, you likely have a few questions about this type of pet bed, including what it is, how it works, what is its purpose and whether your dog even needs one.

With pet heating pads you can provide them with a cozy place to lay where they can warm themselves up if they need to. Perfect for cats that don’t want to be enclosed but still want to have their bed heating up when they lie down on it. We'll discuss the several styles and specific options later, but first let's talk about how it works, its benefits and whether you even need one.With a safety time that can be pre-set to 1-12 hours, you can leave the house without the worry of whether the dog pad or cat pad is still switched on. The type of insulating material that is used in a self-warming dog bed varies depending on the manufacturer of the bed, with each manufacturer competing to produce the most durable and efficient material at the lowest cost to them. For cats and dogs with less fur: Some smaller size breeds can struggle to maintain their temperature, especially if they are short-haired (or completely hairless in the case of a sphynx cat! In our experience, it isn’t an issue for most cats who will get used to it but if you have a very timid cat perhaps go for one without the Mylar layer (noting that all the beds in this group test showed some level of self-warming regardless of their materials). It’s worth paying close attention to your cat’s likes and dislikes before you invest in one of these beds.
