Heated Beds for Your Favorite Pet

If your cat is like most, she appreciates a warm place to curl up. Cats crave warmth for a few reasons. They have heat receptors on their faces that help blind kittens find their mothers -- and yet they have fewer overall heat receptors than we do, so they can take more heat. And their body temperatures are several degrees higher than ours to begin with.

K&H Heated Kitty Pad

A product like the K&H Heated Kitty Pad is an inviting patch of warmth for your feline friend or other small animals. The thermostatically controlled unit is designed to stay within a cat's body temperature, so besides potentially becoming a favorite indoor spot, it works well if your cat spends time in your garage, barn, shed, or outdoor porch or patio. Not to be left out -- or left outside in the cold -- your dog can have his own heated bed too. While most people are aware that hot weather requires special pet precautions, the American Veterinary Medical Association stresses that "cold weather also poses serious threats to your pets’ health."

K&H Lectro-Soft Heated Outdoor Dog Bed

The K&H Lectro-Soft Heated Outdoor Dog Bed is the first soft outdoor dog bed on the market. It's orthopedic and gives off a comfortable level of warmth even in sub-zero weather. Place one in your pooch's dog house, in the basement, or inside any outdoor shelter, such as a barn. Don't worry about it getting wet because the soft PVC exterior is designed to ensure the bed doesn't absorb water. Available in three sizes, you can find a pad to suit any breed of dog. So, whether you own a cat, dog, or both, your furry friend is sure to appreciate a nice, warm heated bed.
