I got this to use on the footrest in my living room, for my spoiled cat. He loves laying on the heating pad on my bed, I figured he’d enjoy this. And it would be nice for anyone who puts their feet up on there. Win win. It has a very long cord, which is nice, and it’s wrapped in a very sturdy material that I feel would be chew proof. It’s a nice size, too. I thought it would be fabric, like the one in my room, but it’s a plastic heating pad covered with a felt/velvet cover. So it’s not quite as comfortable to lay on. But if it’s strictly for pet use, then that would be fine. I’m guessing it needs to be plastic covered to help keep the wires from getting wet in case of the animal urinating on it. The control box is very nice, has six heat settings and four timer options, going up as far as 24 hours. I tried this out first on heat level four, and it didn’t get very warm. It took a long time to heat up, and most of the heat seemed to be on one end of the pad. I bumped it up to level six, and it got a bit warmer, but even on high it’s still just a low warmth. Which may be good to pet use. I’m probably just used to my own pad, which gets really hot. If low warmth is what you’re looking for then this is the pad for your needs. All the features are great for pets. My cat does seem to appreciate it. So for animals, recommended.

This heating pad is a life saver. I had to leave my dog in the garage while I was gone. I had to bug bomb my house in the middle of winter. The wire is protected inside a conduit which feels like a flexible metal tubing wrapped with rubber of sorts. They claim chew proof though my dog is trained and would never chew on it. The best part of this was the thin control pad that fit through hole of my large dogs crate. I left him with food, treat, water and some toys. We tuned the heater on in the garage and crank this this pad to 3 and left for about an hour to hour half. My came back home and my dog was happy. He wasnt cold and freezing. I took the dog out and put my hand on the pad to feel the heat it seemed to be centralized in a particular area. Im not sure if the pad knows where the dog lies or if it is just in the area but it works well. My dog definitely liked it.

This is a very nice heating pad. My mini dachshund loves to sleep on it. It is of good quality and the size is easily large enough for medium sized dogs. My tabby cat also loves to snooze on it. The cord is well protected and the number of heat control levels and timer settings are very nice features. The cover is very soft. Recommend!

This is a nice heating pad. I like that they did think through the design and made the cord covered with a metal shroud to protect it from chewing.

Received in the mail quickly and put it in her enormous doghouse. ( I built for her ) We wrapped the mat around a blanket a few times and layed it in her doghouse. Out temperatures during the winter usually get just below freezing. The dogs water dish bowl often freezes over. We have an Australian Shepard with a thick fur coat and she can handle cold temperatures but freezing isnt a temperature we wanted to risk with her. This pad has kept her warm during those cold nights and she seems to be very happy with it. The pad has a timer on it for 8, 12 & 24 hours. This helps us to save on our electric bill. I would recommend this product.

This is an effective way to keep your dogs or cats warm and comfortable on a cold day, but more importantly it helps with arthritis or sore joints and is designed (prevent chewing) with rugged controls.and wire coverings. The timer and temperature controls make it easy to set it and go.

This isnt instant heat like a blanket that most people are used to. It provides a gentle heat, enough to take the chill off and gives your pet a warm place to lay without the possibility of overheating them. I like the protected cord but it is short so this will need to be placed close to an outlet. I have some outside outlets and can use this inside my dog houses for cold weather. This would work inside as well if you have an older animal that has bad joints or just would like a warmer place to lay.

Too funny, between our dog and cat neither want to share. Animals are funny critters and when they are on something all warm and comfy it is first come gets it. Highly recommend for having this for your critter. So far have not had any need for a chew resistant cord, but if used for a puppy would be beneficial.

Pregnant mama dogs love it. Go to it when they are a little too uncomfortable. Also use it for the pups if we feel they are a little too cold

Warms fast and easy to use
