Self-Warming Pet Pad
$11.99
Nothing to plug in, nothing to chew, nothing to charge and nothing electrical left on while you are out.
A reflective layer sends the heat your pet gives off back up toward them.
Gray fleece on one side, black fleece on the other.
Cold water, gentle cycle, mild detergent.
How it works
Your pet is the heat source. The pad keeps that warmth where they are instead of letting it sink into a cold floor.
Reversible
Both faces are fleece. Turn it over and it is still a warm, soft bed just a different colour.
Take it anywhere
No cord means no socket to be near. It goes where your pet already likes to sleep — and comes with you when you travel.
The feel of it
A polyester fleece cover, top and bottom, over a polyester fibre fill. About an inch thick and just over ten ounces, so it stays where you put it without being a slab.
K&H: Unique materials to help trap heat and ensure a nice warm, cozy place for napping.
A raised border round a softer centre the edge a cat tucks its chin over.
21 × 17 × 1 in · 10.24 oz
Size
At 21 by 17 inches it is sized for a single pet. It lies flat in any crate, carrier base or basket at least that big.
Cats. One cat, curled up or stretched out.
Small dogs. Up to 20 lb.
Crates. Measure the floor. If it is 21 × 17 inches or more, the pad lies flat.
Easy care
A bed a pet sleeps on every day needs washing. This one goes in the machine, on its own.
Self-warming, not heated
Worth knowing before you choose between this and a pad with a plug.
What owners say
Put it on the end of the sofa to see what would happen. Twenty minutes later she was asleep on it and that is now her spot. It is warm when she gets up you can feel it on your hand and there is nothing to plug in.
We feed two strays and built them a little insulated box. Put one of these in the bottom last winter and bought a second this year. They use it every night. No cord to run out of the house, which was the whole point.
It works the way it says — it holds the heat they give off. It does not get hot by itself, so do not expect a heated bed. My older cat, who used to hunt for the one sunny patch, now just goes to this. Four stars because I expected it to be a bit thicker.
He is about fifteen pounds and it is just the right size for his crate. He used to drag a towel in there. Now he goes straight in at night and curls up on it.
Cold, gentle, air dry, as it says. The fleece came out soft and it did not lose its shape or go lumpy. With two cats and one of them a shedder, washing it is not optional.
At 21 by 17 it is perfect for one cat stretched out. My two try to share it and one always ends up half off. Buy two if you have two.
It is light and folds into the carrier. Having something that smells like home and stays warm has made the drives to my mum’s much calmer. No batteries to forget.
We have a perch on the bedroom window that nobody would sit on in winter because the glass is cold. Put this on it and the cat is up there every afternoon.
My cat likes it, but the warming is gentler than I expected — it is really the fleece and the layer underneath keeping her own heat in. If your house is very cold you will want something more. For a cool room it is fine.
Bought it for the cat. The dog took it. Bought a second. Both are happy and both pads have been through the wash several times.
Our barn cat sleeps on it in the garage. It is not waterproof, so I put it on a low shelf rather than the concrete. On the shelf it has been perfect.
When one side needs a wash and I do not have time, I flip it. Gray side most of the year, black side when the white cat is not using it.

Questions
No. There is no cord, no battery and no heating element anywhere in it. A reflective layer under the fleece turns your pet’s own body heat back toward them, so the pad warms up when they lie on it.
It returns the warmth your pet gives off rather than making any of its own, so there is no hot spot and no setting to get wrong. That also means it is a comfort layer, not a heater — it will not warm a cold room.
Inside a shelter, yes — a cat house, a garage or a barn, out of the wind and the wet. The listing recommends it for indoor use and does not describe it as waterproof, so keep it under cover. In freezing weather it works as the warm layer inside a shelter, not as a source of heat.
Either. It is reversible: gray fleece on one side, black fleece on the other. Many cats pick a side and stick to it.
It measures 21 × 17 inches and is about an inch thick. Measure the floor of your crate — if it is at least that size, the pad lies flat.
Yes — cats and small dogs, up to 20 lb.
Machine wash it on its own, in cold water on a gentle cycle, with a mild detergent and no bleach. Air or line dry it, or tumble dry on the lowest setting.
A polyester fleece cover on both sides, a polyester fibre fill, and the insulating and reflective layers between them.
Yes — a one-year limited warranty from the manufacturer.
