K&H Pet Products Pet Bed Warmer, Turn Any Pet Bed Into a Heated Cat or Dog Bed, Waterproof Indoor Heated Warming Pad Insert, Automatic Temperature, Safety Listed – Small 9 X 8.5in Tan

My husband and I and our two cats strongly recommend these!
We have two nine year old Sibling Burmese cats and I must admit we’ve spoiled them. But buying these warmers wasn’t part of our spoiling them; I think they are a necessity. Before our cats arrived, I bought them a large dog bed so they could comfortably sleep together. Soon, my husband found the first K&H Bed Warmer and both cats loved it. Now, at age 9, the male has become Top Cat and doesn’t always want to let his sister join him in the warm bed. So I just bought a second one and put it into the other large dog bed so she could have a warm bed of her own.These warmers are wonderful. They use very little electricity and they give them just the right amount of warmth to make them comfortable. We like them because we can turn down the heat at night in the Winter because that’s how we’re most comfortable and we know they are comfortable. In the Summer, we never have to worry about them being too cold because of the AC. We’ve had one of these for over six years and since they were made by K&H, we had complete confidence in them and they haven’t let us downTry one for your dog or cat and add a little warmth to their lives!EDIT: March 23, 2018Yes, indeed, I bought a second one for my female cat and her brother stopped losing his bed and wanted to share her bed with her. I couldn’t understand it. I thought they’d each have their own warm bed and everything would be fine. DUH! I couldn’t figure it out until I felt how warm his bed was compared to hers. Guess what? His warmer had warn out after 6 years! What did I expect? I love K&H but just how long did I think a warmer would last, since it’s been used daily, 365 days a year, for 6 years! I often wonder at my own stupidity.So I bought him a new warmer and he is perfectly happy in his bed. Now my problem is that since they are practically identical cats, having come from the same litter, I never know who’s in which bed. She has to medicated twice a day and occasionally. I’ll pick a cat up from her bed and the cat will snuggle into me (which they both do) and I’ll sit down, ready to give her the medicine and lo and behold! I’ll discover I’ve got the wrong cat! And he’s still just snuggling into me, not even realizing I was going to give him her wretched tasting medicine!So I still give the K&H bed warmer 5 stars but my guess is that after four or five years of constant use, it should be replaced! :)Note: January 2024: My female is driving her brother crazy because for the last few months, she wants to sleep in his be, not her own . I realized that her bed isn’t as warm as his. I never mentioned that I put layer of dish towels (!? Seemed like the best size) on top of this heating pad, then the mattress that goes into their beds, when I use this. I just think the pad itself is too warm for any cat. Now that they’re getting older (almost sixteen), I know they crave heat even more. I removed one of the towels I put over her bed but she wouldn’t sleep in it. I’m hoping the pads have dates on them so I can tell when I bought which one. If he’s is too old, I’ll replace it and see if I can coax her to leave her brother’s bed but I don’t know if she just likes being close to him or if it’s the temperature change she is feeling. Will inform you.

Works well
Use on an older dog. She is always cold. When the weather starts to get cold, you can’t get her off of it.

comes without cover. i had ordered 3 others in the past and they all had covers. very disappointed
i love the product. This is the 4th one i ordered.and they last for years. My cats love them. Unfortunately they no longer come with the cover so i was very disappointed.

made my kitten smell like plastic
Update: it has been almost a week since I took the heating pad out of the thermo pod to return to amazon. The thermo pod, bedding and my CAT still smell like plastic.This has been an exceptionally cold winter so far and the heat in my apartment can be spotty. I was worried about my two cats staying warm, so I ordered two of these heating pads. One was for the kitten and would be placed in my K and H thermo pod. The other was to be used with a K and H cuddler bed for my senior kitty. The heating pad I used for the cuddler bed seemed to get pretty hot. It was uncomfortable to hold your hand on it at first. I was a little worried about leaving something that gets that hot between my couch and the cuddler bed. The second heating pad that I was using in the thermo pod did not get as hot. My kitten really seemed to like it. My issue is the next morning as I was cuddling my kitten, her fur had a strong odor from the plastic on the heating pad. Touching the bedding inside the thermo pod left the plastic smell on my hand. Not sure what kind of plastic the heating pads are made out of, but typically off gassing of plastics is not very healthy. Considering cats constantly lick themselves to clean, I am wondering how healthy the off gassing can be. My concern is that with the thermo pods enclosed nature, it will hold the gas in exposing my kitten more. Hoping the smell will eventually fade over another day or two. If not might have to send them back.Pros:1. worked well in thermo pod2. kitten liked the heat the pad provided in her podCons:1. One pad was way hotter than the other2. Strong off gassing smell made my cat smell like plastic3. Nervous about leaving something that gets too hot to touch plugged in.Overall, I think the hotter one is definitely going back. I will give another day or two for plastic smell to fade from second one, or will have to return it as well.Side Note: I am a fan of K and H products. I have several of their products including cuddler bed, raised cot, thermo pod, window hammock, and window track toy. With the exception of the ball track toy and the new heating pads, I have always found the quality of their products to be exceptional.Update: after reading other reviews of off gassing, returning products 🙁

I have used this before…bought a new one for my mom’s older cat with arthritis. I cut a slit in the side of any cat bed and slide the warming pad in under the padding/stuffing. We leave it plugged in 24/7 (only unplug in summer heat). The cats can’t get enough!

I highly recommend the entire K&H Manufacturing line of heated pads, replacement pads, indoor outdoor pads, the lot. We do wildlife rescue, along with fostering critical care, neonates, and special needs animals, we have used these constantly for well over a decade now. They are practically indestructible, under normal conditions, but even a heavy chewer will kill these, if you allow it.I have used these, literally for years, non stop, 24/7. Love that they are super low energy use, DO NOT TURN OFF, and are incredibly versatile; we have yet to have a single one fail, at last count, we currently own 14 of this particular style of replacement bed heater. We are owned by 11 dogs and a cat, all of whom seek warmth, even when it is 30+ degrees out, still preferring to be under the polar fleece blankets. Despite the multiple, different (now) heated dog beds, the favorite one is our old futon couch we converted into one giant, communal pet bed!Put on a fitted sheet, then a thick polar fleece blanket, use rope to ensure it stays in place (when folded into couch) down the central crease. Place these heating pads between the fitted sheet and the polar fleece, along the “seat” of the couch, cover with the polar fleece blanket, and tuck it in on the sides, bottom and top. If you have MY dogs, you will then need to add a second polar fleece blanket or two on top so they can burrow in, and be covered on all sides.Or I guess you could use it as intended to replace a failed unit or turn any pet bed into a heated one….either way, I have used these in multiple ways (strapped to my office chair or recliner…), for years, and not had one fail me yet. The heat never varies, no cycling on/off, no more hot/warm/cool, no waking up to that insufferable auto shut off, nope, none of that. Just put in place, plug it in, and warm, gentle heat….I highly recommend the entire K&H Manufacturing line of heated pads, replacement pads, indoor outdoor pads, the lot. You may pay more up front (and YES, I have tried less expensive alternatives, all of which died within a year), but this is an electrical appliance that will stay plugged in, for years, permanently turned on and used by your pet. It is not worth having one fail at a critical time or worse yet, have an electrical fault that could cause serious harm to all; spend the money, get a reliable, trustworthy product that will operate hassle free for years, if not decades (many of mine are older than 10 years).HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you are looking for a “heating pad” that is safe, inexpensive to operate, runs 24/7 and is completely reliable.

These pads are simple, plug in, and they are on, and stay on, until you unplug them. They stay a constant temperature and never cycle up and down or shut off and use a ridiculously tiny amount of energy. Are they pricey, yep, but as I have YET to have one of these vinyl (?) pads fail me, and have used them for well over a decade, I can assure you they are absolutely worth the money.Technically they are replacement pads for their heated pet beds, although why you would ever need to replace them (not a one has failed on me yet in over a decade) is beyond me; perhaps it is so you can use them in OTHER manufacturers heated beds or take a regular bed and create a heated bed…I use them to turn human furniture, such as couches, into large, heated pet beds ( yep that is what you do when you are owned by 13 dogs!). I just lay them in a row down the futon couch, cover with a fitted sheet, then a polar fleece blanket and presto, a giant heated pet bed. If only you could see the looks on the faces of visitors who sit on the dog couch as their butt slowly heats up………priceless!!!Okay, the facts: these use hardly any energy, and a little goes a long way, meaning, you really do not need a pad that fits the entire pets bed, half or less is more than enough. I know, I get it, you think more is better, WRONG. I tried that, replacing the tiny 6×6 pads in the 21 inch beds with larger ones and guess what, they were abandoned. As soon as I put the small ones back in, the animals went back to them. This also addresses how most folks think they are not warm enough…oh, they are, you just are not sitting or laying on them. When they are compressed against an insulated base and/or sandwiched by a living body, they are plenty warm, it just will not FEEL like it when you quickly place your hand on the bed it is installed in, but if you SIT on it, within moments you will understand how powerful these units are.I have yet to be disappointed by ANY K&H product…I own half a dozen heated water bowls, dozens EACH of their heated hard pads, the lectro soft heated pads and these soft pads. Not a single soft pad has failed on me yet; some are already much older than 10 yrs, and are in use 24/7, 365 days a year, non stop for all that time.PS: in winter, I lay a blanket over my recliner and tuck one of these in behind for warmth and to soothe my aching back.
