Caution: The failure mode of this item may set your house on fire. I have several of these that I use indoors on either a brick fireplace hearth or concrete floor. They have only been used a few months during winter time for three years now. Just by chance I felt the heat coming off one of them and immediately yanked the plug out of the socket- it was about to go nuclear as in a total melt-down. Please see attached photos showing the melted state of that unit. It was very hot to the touch and the faux sheepskin cover was stuck to it in spots-- it was that hot.
This is a very uncomfortable and alarming situation. My solution was both of them went out in the trash. The pets will need to use sunshine or our laps to keep warm.
Otherwise, they did work nice and the pets loved the heat provided. I just want to make sure they also have a house to live in.

The original K&H Lectro-Kennel Heated Pad with Free Cover
Product Description
Breeders, pet owners, and vets have been using Lectro-Kennels to warm pets for more than 40 years. Use it to keep your furry one warm and cozy through the night, indoors or out. Great for the kennel, doghouse, garage, porch or wherever else your cat or dog likes to lie, including inside. It can lie flat on the floor or be attached to the wall and keep your pet feeling warm and secure even at below freezing temperatures. This allows your pet to either lay directly on it or rest against it to keep warm. It is made of rugged ABS plastic with a 5.5 foot steel-wrapped cord to ensure your pet’s safety. The Lectro-Kennel utilizes an energy efficient, thermostatically controlled heater designed to never exceed the body temperate of your pet whether in a comfortable indoor room or outdoors down to 20 degrees below. It warms to your pet's normal body temperature when in use and includes a free super-soft, removable and washable fleece cover.
Cleaning
The K&H Lectro-Kennel is easy to clean, just wipe with a damp rag. Allow to dry completely before plugging it back in.
The free Fleece Cover is machine washable.
How to test your Lectro-Kennel
You'll notice that the K&H Lectro-Kennel may not feel warm to the touch when your pet is not on the pad. That is normal!! You can test the pad by placing a large pillow on top of the pad. After about 20 minutes, feel under the pillow. It will feel warm, not hot. Do not use an extension cord and do not place anything on the pad (other than the fleece cover provided) during testing.
Features in a nutshell:
- Rugged, heated pet pad for indoor or outdoor use.
- Free machine-washable fleece cover included
- Ideal for doghouse, kennel, garage, basement, or porch.
- Great for cats and dogs.
- Internal thermostat warms bed to pet's normal body temperature when in use.
- Low wattage and economical.
- Available in 3 sizes.
- MET Listed for safety (MET E112895)

I wish the manufacturer would not have "cheapened" the product because it was brilliantly made years ago

Tried to answer questions I had before purchasing
By Dwayne Fuller on January 3, 2019
Just got ours two days ago tested it in the house with a pillow per instructions put it in her dog house and she loves it! Seems to be high quality works great . I built the dog house to fit the pad used R15 foam board as insulation seems warm in her house. She spends a lot of time in her house now and can still do her job of protecting our house and yard. We live in the country and also have free range chickens witch she protects from predators. So I’m glad to make her life a little easier show her the love she shows us. This is rigid plastic not a lot of flex so keep that in mind. The cord is protected by a steel coil all the way to the plug. The fleece pad has elastic bands on corners like a fitted sheet. Our dog does chew things but I don’t think that’s going to be a problem due to the way this is made. She has chewed dog beds in the past but this is flat and she only seems to want to lay on it( sure it feels good in the cold weather. At this point I’d highly recommend this for your pet. She’s a red healer and sheds too much to come inside and also tears up thing in the house. I feel good about her outside now. She also barks and alerts when people come up that’s also her job so it’s a win win to have her out and happy!
