Heated Pet Beds

Heated dog bed

Not all pet owners allow their pets into the house, even in the winter; but that doesn’t mean the poor dog has to freeze out in the doghouse. Heated Pet Beds are available not only for dogs who have to sleep in a kennel, garage, or basement, but also for those sleeping indoors in colder climates.

Heated pet beds are equipped with thermostats that control the temperature, turning them into a haven of warmth. Dogs will enjoy cuddling deep into their beds even on the coldest nights. Some beds come with optional AC power adapters so that you can heat them even in automobiles. Others feature removable heaters, allowing you to use the beds throughout the year. Heated beds have removable covers made out of washable material. The beds have low power consumption and usually have steel-wrapped cords to prevent dogs from chewing them. Some self-warming beds have reflective surfaces that reflect a pet’s body heat back to it.

Puppies will find heated beds a source of security and warmth, and snuggled into one, will be less likely to feel the estrangement from their mothers. Orthopedic heated dog beds are ideal for older dogs with stiff joints. Designed to provide extra support and comfort, the beds are also good for overweight dogs. Made out of medical grade foam, these beds help reduce stiffness in arthritic dogs and increase their mobility.

Available in various sizes, some heated beds are intended only for indoor use. Other variations of heated pet beds include heated cushions and mats. These are more convenient and can be easily carried around the house and plugged in wherever your pet decides he wants to snooze. A safer alternative to heated beds is heated pads, which need to be put in the microwave before being tucked into a regular pet bed.

There are several options available to provide your dog with a heated bed that will keep him warm and secure.
