This pet heating pad is plush and has a few bonus features. The settings include a timer and a feature that allows it to stay on all of the time which is harder to find. The plush cover is removable and can be washed. It took a little while for it to warm up but once it does it seems to stay pretty consistent. It doesnt get as warm as a human heating pad or anything - which is probably good since it is intended for pets. The wrapped cord is a safety feature that should be included in all pet mats not just so they are outdoor safe but to prevent electrocution if they were to chew. This is a great mat.

My 12-year-old, arthritic puppy used to be restless and unable to get comfortable. Since I put this oversized heating pad beneath her orthopedic foam mattress, shes sleeping better and not having to reposition herself so often to get comfortable. The 24x35 fits perfectly beneath (or on top) of her large breed doggy bed. It cleans up easily. The cover zips off and goes into the washing machine just fine. I wasnt sure if it might shrink, so I hung it to dry, then easily replaced the cover. My dog comes to the office with me every day, and between the concrete floor and cold air conditioning, I know she was uncomfortable. When I remember to turn on the heat for her, shes no longer restless at all. I love that the control gives me the option to set it to 4, 8, 12, 24 hours, or continuous-on. I set it for 8 hours when we get into the office in the morning and I forget it. Fortunately, I dont have to worry about my old girl chewing cords. but the chew-resistant power cord seems very durable. I only wish it had a flat plug that lets the cord lay parallel to the wall. My only outlets are either behind a credenza that would have to be moved a few inches out from the wall, or just above the dog bed, where sometimes she knocks it loose with her butt when shes turning her nesting circles before laying down. Overall, Im very happy with this product. Its definitely a comfort to my aging puppy, providing plenty of heat on medium setting even beneath her mattress. Its easy to clean, and best of all, the set it and forget it timer is one less thing I have to worry about when Im packing up to leave the office at the end of a busy day.

This heating mat has a nice silky soft removable cover. It heats up fairy quickly and has four different timer settings with six different temperature settings. The power cord is covered to prevent chewing on it. I got it for my cat to sit on the back of the couch but it is large enough for a larger medium sized dog! The cover has a zipper at one end and is easy to remove for washing.

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.

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
