MARUNDA Pet Heating Pad,Cat Dog Electric Pet Heating Pad Indoor Waterproof,Auto Constant Temperature, Chew Resistant Steel Cord

I have two cats, and I got one for each of them. One, wouldnt touch it (she has longer fur and weighs more, so shes already warm). The other (who is thinner and has shorter fur), absolutely obsessed, even in summer. I gave away the first one for someones small dog, but the one I kept has held up for a couple years and my cat is still found on it pretty much every day. I have to unplug it some days because shell sleep on it even during a heat wave - she seriously spends hours every day on it. Sometimes she pulls her actual bed over and uses it as a pillow while shes on her heat mat. Shes so upset when I have to unplug it after she has surgery/a dental cleaning (because I cant trust her to be able to get up if she gets too warm when shes on anesthesia and pain meds), but the first day I DO turn it on, once shes off her meds, she spends the entire day on it. Im really happy she has something to keep her warm in our Michigan winter, because she is alone at night and I used to worry about if she got too cold... now I only have to worry if the power goes out. The cord is really thick and sturdy. My cat has like two teeth, so she cant chew on cords anyway, so I have no idea how sturdy it is for cats who do like to chew. My other cat is a cord chewer, but she never used hers - and they live sepatately for medical reasons, so my other cat has no access to this one. The orange fabric cover comes off, so it should wash pretty well. So far I havent had to wash it (though I do use a lint brush on it from time to time to remove hair), so I havent taken the cover all the way off and cant comment on how the cover holds up in the wash.. but it has held up since I got it in Feb of 2020. So the big con (which I knew about when ordering so Im not taking stars off for this) - mainly the temperature control, which is.... pretty much none. Its meant to be controlled by weight, so when shes not on it its not really warm, and then it heats up when shes on it. I like that it doesnt stay constantly warm, but it would be nice to have some kind of control. The other thing is, it IS just a mat. Theres absolutely no padding, and I think she would probably prefer if it was a bit softer/padded... but since its on an old couch (nobody uses it except her anyway), its not a big deal. I think theres probably better ones out there if you have a bigger budget, but this is a really decent heat mat and my cat is in love with it. Considering it has a 50/50 success rate with my cats (in terms of liking it), I think its a good option to get if youre not sure if your cat or dog would like a heat mat. But if you DO know they like them, it may be worth it to spend a little more if you can afford it. I originally got them for $20 each, the 12x15 size. The size is perfect for her, she CAN curl up on it but she often likes to spread out and spin around occasionally so that all of her gets warm, which she would have to do regardless of size. Overall, yes I would buy it again, but Id probably try to find one thats a little nicer (heat control and padding) first if it was in my budget. I would DEFINITELY get these if I was fostering several cats or had messy cats that may need it to be cleaned frequently, since cleaning does seem to be really easy with this one.

I have 20 cats(most rescue cats) and I have purchased 7 of these warming mats to keep them warm. They all live in unheated sheds/garage and these do a great job of keeping them warm. I bought the larger ones so 2 and 3 cats can cuddle on them. They seem to really enjoy the warmth. I leave them on all the time as there is no off switch. So far that doesnt seem to be a problem.

My senior citizen cat enjoys the warmth of this mat. No on/off control, just plug in or pull out, temperature is mildly warm and consistent once it gets warmed up.

So very glad I bought this heating pad! Excellent quality! My newborn puppies loved this from the moment they were born. The pad keeps them at the correct body temperature automatically. If they get off the pad for any reason they are scrambling to get back on. Easy to wipe clean if momma misses a spot. Cover is machine washable. If you are debating buying this heating pad, buy it! You wont be disappointed.

Our cat is very old and needs special attention at this time,want to make him as comfortable as possible

The instructions for this mat said it was safe to use with the cover it comes with and dont mention limiting the time the mat should be in use. If you are planning to have it on more than a few hours, you need to put extra blankets on top of the mat. My cat absolutely loves it but she got a mild burn when she was on it for several hours. I have since made sure that there is always enough insulation between the mat and my cat. On the plus side, I have been using it a lot for over a month now and it has held up fine.

Placed this outside on a patio in an insulated cat house for a feral. Pad ever got too hot. Was the best dea!

I didn’t like anything in this product. Short cord, no temperature control, cover isn’t waterproof. Returning the product.

I put this in a basket cat bed near my desk. Our cat immediately took to it. I wish the covering was more padded. I use an extra blanket over it to soften the area.

**update** I spoke to the company and they sent out the new upgraded version and I couldn’t be happier they were amazingly wonderful to work with and eager to make things right. I’ve never had a company that went so far out of their way to be helpful to their customers. Taking this up to a 5 star! I purchased two of these specifically because i have one dog who is a chewer but needs the warmth. I thought this product would be perfect. However, within the first day of use she had chewed through the cord completely. Thankfully the circuit breaker tripped otherwise my dog would be dead! I’m very displeased with this. If you have a dog who chews do not buy this product buy the upgrade to this one.
