My dog's new best friend! He used to sleep in a tiny little tight ball at night and now spralls out on his bed in comfort. My husband likes to turn the heat down at night and sleep under the covers but my dog doesn't stay under a blanket. I bought this bed warmer and put it in the plush bed I already had for my dog and he is very happy at night! You do have to remember to unplug it in the morning so it won't run all day. The one I had from last year finally died from being left on all the time day and night. If you unplug it during the day it seems to have a long life time and makes my dog very comfortable.

This pad does a good job of warming my old dog's bed up for her. It's nothing fancy, but it does what it's supposed to do. The circuit breaker on the power cord is a good saftey feature. The cord has a "chew resistant" covering, but I imagine a good sized pooch could gnaw right through it,so it would be wise to tuck the cord out of the way if you have a dog that's prone to chewing.

I bought this heating pad as a Christmas present for my girl friend's ageing cat. We placed it under a towel on the floor and after a day or so it discoverd the warm spot, and now spends a lot of time there. Seems a hit with the kitty.

While this does appear to be a well-made heating pad with steady, gentle heat; it could be improved upon by having an on/off switch and/or a timer. (It DOES NOT have a switch on the plug or GFI, as shown in the picture.) We did get a timer unit, but it is still difficult to use it at random times of the day; such as, when we want to turn it on after a long walk out in the cold. One thing to note, since the pad is so small for a bigger dog with a bigger bed, our dog usually "misses" the warm spot when he does lay on his bed. It would be much better, if this pad were much bigger. We now use two of these per big dog bed. For now, this seems like the best heating pad we have found. It heats significantly warmer than the K & H similar-sized pad we tried. (Petmate pad is 30 watts, K & H pad is 13 watts.) But we will keep looking for a better choice. Hope this helps...

This is probably my dog's favorite item among all the things I have bought him over the years. I put it under his little pet bed and hook it up to a timer so that it won't burn out the heater. Our dog is kind of a weenie about our bedroom being chilly in the mornings, but since setting this up, he's perfectly content. Inexpensive and dog approved.

Great product that works as advertised. It would be nice to have an adjustable temperature control I suppose, but my pooch is practically glued to this thing as is. I like it enough that I'm buying another for a different location.

My 11 year old cats both have arthritis and this helps in the colder weather. I have this set up by a window so they can keep warm while they watch the birds out side. Great product.

The photo shows a circuit breaker type electrical plug, which was my deciding factor when I choose this heater. BUT the photo is incorrect; just a standard plug on this heater.

My old cat LOVES her petmate heating pad (10x20) the only time she leaves it is to eat or use the litter box. I like the heavy duty "bite proof" cord.

This is a great product. I already had the bed it fit in, so I just needed the heater. My weenie dog is elderly and it really helps him through the winter. He loves it!
