Dog Bed Heaters Are Convenient And Affordable
If Your Dog's Bed Is Still In Good Shape, Dog Bed Heaters Are
A Practical Choice vs Buying A New Dog Bed!
Dog bed heaters are a great option providing your dog's bed is still in good shape. It the bed's not, then you're probably better off just purchasing a new heated
dog bed.
If you already have an older dog or your dog is starting to show signs of aging such as slow to rise and stiffness, a heated dog bed could help.
The added warmth of a heated bed will help ease the pain of arthritis.
Warning! Never use a human heating pad for your dog or cat!
Human heating pads get much hotter than a dog's body temperature of 102°F and are designed to be placed on top of an injury or ailment not underneath.
Heating Options
- The first one that we found is made by K H Manufacturing. It is six watts and comes in three sizes. It has a dual thermostat and slides inside the dogs bed. It only warms the bed when the pet is laying on it. Indoor use only.
- The other pet bed heater we felt worth mentioning is one that is non-electric and gets heated in the microwave. Once heated, you slip it inside the dogs bed. The manufacturer "Thermo Wave" claims that it stays warm for twelve hours.
- This last heater we found is also made by K H Manufacturing and they claim it to be ideal for a kennel, doghouse, garage or basement. It has an internal thermostat and comes in three different sizes. It also has an optional lambskin cover that we recommend to cover and soften the product itself which is made of plastic.
Just like humans, as dogs age they too develop soreness and achy joints due to arthritis. This is a product well worth checking into.
