We recommend placing the mat under an additional thin fleece cover or sheet, and positioning it so the dog can move off it and onto it when it wants to. Rest assured, they'll know it gives off a comfortable heat, and they'll move onto it when they need it! Our two dogs can be found on them in the morning following a cooler night. With an anti-chew cord and soft cover, it is ideal to be placed in a pet bed, crate or any location where heat is required. The cord disconnects from the plug lead, which makes it easier to thread it through tight spots or in and out of crates, etc. You can even place it in the car and plug it into the standard cigarette/cigar lighter socket. This means that you can keep your dog or puppy warm when travelling to the vets or any other location on colder days. See a list of common questions below. "Been looking for a heated pet mat for Charles our Dachshund and this is just the thing for him. Turned it on two nights ago as it got a bit cold and he loves it." Brendan. Skye, UK If your pet chews Please always be aware of excessive chewing or scratching, as this may damage the heated dog bed. However, we have added an armoured cover to the cable between the mat and the black adaptor. We've also added a fleece cover to protect the vinyl. The chew guard is hard plastic, and this means that the cable is protected from chewing while the pet is on the mat. If your pet constantly chews or destroys things in their bed, we would advise you to hide the heated pet pad under a blanket or existing layer on the bed. If you see your pet chewing at the vinyl part, you should remove it immediately. Remember, most pets will never try to destroy a mat they can't see! The white part of the cord (which is connected to the heat mat) is around 9-12 inches long and is designed to protect the inner cable. To reassure customers, we have never received a complaint or return due to a pet chewing through the cord. However, always monitor your pet and remove the mat immediately if excessive chewing of the vinyl occurs. What you get in the box The box will include the dog heat mat, removable (and washable) fleece cover, uk plug, lead and secure mains cable to the mat.

They are basically pet electric blankets, which are ideal for dogs and cats, and they work using a simple and safe coil system which gently heats up. The blue controller is there for you to adjust the temperature from 25 - 55 degrees Celsius as required. We'd recommend 40-45 in the Autumn and 55 in the colder months. However, you can experiment and adjust accordingly. Rest assured, the mats will never get so hot that they'll be uncomfortable for your dog - but please do leave room for your pet to move on and off the mat as it wishes. Using the controller - Plug in and turn on the mains. Press the power button on the controller and then the left or right buttons to adjust the temperature. How Do I create Heated Dog Beds? It is very easy to create a heated dog bed. All you have to do is place the heat mat under a blanket or very thin cushion, and you're done. So the heat pad can just be placed in your existing bed with a thin blanket over the top. This is all you need. How Big Is it? These dog heat pads measure 40 x 30 cm, so they will fit into most beds or crates. They come with a long cable from the plug and a connector to the mat. The connector allows you to thread the cable through a small gap or hole in a crate or bed without worrying about routing the plug. Are They Safe? All mats follow strict manufacturing guidelines and meet safety standards. We have added a bi-metal thermostat so the product will not overheat. We have also added an armoured cover to the cable close to the mat in case your pet tries to chew through the cable. This product also runs off a safer (lower voltage) output of 12 volts. We feel this is a much safer option than a full 240v option. The materials used have flame-retardant properties. How Warm Does It Get? The product has a built-in thermostat, so it will never overheat. This ensures that your pet stays warm at all times - it just feels like they have another warm animal close to them to keep them warm. This product is great for dogs, cats and other animals like indoor rabbits. They can also be used for whelping. Can I Keep It On For Long Periods? Most customers will switch the mats on a few minutes before bed time and then leave them on until morning. There is no problem with leaving the mats on for 12 hours or more, but we would recommend turning them off every 8-12 hours. Are They Cheap To Run? These heated pet mats have very low running costs because they run on 240V stepped down to 12V. They give out around 24-40 watts of power, so this is less than many light bulbs. Can I Use It In The Car? Yes, as they are a safe 12 volts, they can be used in the car. This means you can place the mat in a bed, crate or back of the car on cold journeys. Just make sure you have the correct adaptor to plug into the power lead. Can I Bend Or Fold The Mat? The mats can be rolled or bent at the edges but we would suggest that you do this to work with the coil and not against it. It is advised not to bend the coil wire excessively. Normal wear and tear (and some bending at the edges to fit into a bed) will not cause an issue.
