Heated dog beds are a great way to keep your pooch warm and keep them warm in style. These beds
come in many different sizes, shapes and colors. You would be hard pressed not to find one in a color
that matches your décor, no matter if your dog sleeps in your bedroom, in the living room, in the den,
or even on the porch.
Heated dog beds are great if you love to pamper your dog but they are also good for practical reasons
as well. If your dog is getting older or if they are heavy and have joint problems, these beds will help
to ease their pain. If your dog is less active than they used to be, it could be due to sore muscles, and
heated dog beds will help to relax those muscles. Many online retailers offer orthopedic beds that are
made with several layers of thick, supportive foam. They have a dual thermostat that maintains an
even surface temperature. For many of them, the heater is removable for washing.
Veterinarians are recommending heated dog beds (especially low-level, long duration heat) to help
accelerate healing from injury or surgery and to help if your dog has arthritis. This heat also provides
stimulating circulation that is helpful to dogs.
If you are in the market for one of these beds be sure to find one that has low-voltage, that is UL listed
(and if you live in Canada, be sure it is CUL listed), and that it is made of non-slip materials to help
keep the bed in place. It is also important that the cord is chew-resistant. If your dog loves to be cozy,
you can find heated dog beds that have a soft dome over them (like a hood) that will keep them so
snug. And if you have concern at all over using a bed that has a cord, there are many heated dog
beds that work by reflecting your dog’s body heat back to them. A unique inner core insulates their
body heat and then reflects it back. If your dog likes to sleep in a kennel, there are heated dog pads
that fit very snugly into kennels and will keep your dog toasty warm.
If you keep your dog outdoors in a dog house, garage, shed or even in the basement, you can find
heated dog beds that are specially designed for dogs that live outdoors. Many of these beds will keep
your dog warm even in sub-zero degree weather. They are made with exterior covers that ensure the
beds do not absorb water. The covers are machine washable.
We definitely want our dogs to keep the ability to run, jump, and play for as long as possible. Heated
dogs beds can help them to do just that!

Best Heated Dog Beds For Your Dog

Have you ever watched your dog sleep? The position they sleep in will give you a hint as to the type
of heated dog bed that will suit their needs. Does your dog like to sleep on their back or their
stomach? Do they like to stretch out their legs or curl up in a ball? All these factors can help you
determine the best bed for them. If they have long legs and like to stretch them out, a nice, warm
rectangular bed will fit their need. If they like to curl up, a snug bed with higher sides that will help
them to feel secure will fit their need. The size of your dog will also help to determine, from the
countless heated dog beds on the market, exactly which one will make your dog the most
comfortable. A good dog bed will provide warmth, support, and security for your dog.
Heated dog beds will insulate your dog from the cold floor or from a chilly draft. If your dog sleeps on
the porch or in the garage or basement, these beds will make a huge difference on cold nights. A bed
that properly fits the individual size of your dog will help them to feel secure and safe, and it will also
give them their own private space. Heated dog beds that offer extra cushion are especially good for
older dogs or dogs that are overweight or have arthritis. A warm, cozy bed can also help to prevent
injury for your dog as they will not be jumping up and down off of beds and couches.
One important factor when choosing heated dog beds is to make certain (if you decide on a style that
has a cord) to purchase one that has a chew-resistant cord and that is UL-listed. Many of these offer
energy efficient technology that will not heat the entire surface of the bed. They will only give off
warmth where your dog is sleeping. There is another style that will keep your dog warm without the
use of wires or batteries. These types of heated dog beds are thermally heated and come in all sizes,
even one small enough to fit a small crate. If your dog likes a lot of support for their head while they
are sleeping, look for a bed that has a higher back and higher sides; that way they can rest their
heads on them in comfort.
Your dog is definitely worth taking a little bit of time to research the bed that will suit their needs. And
you will get a lot of pleasure from the fact that their bed will soon become their favorite place to spend
time. Heated dogs beds are not overly expensive (you can buy a good one for under one hundred
dollars) so look for a quality bed. You will find that your dog will enjoy a lifetime of benefits that a good
bed will offer them!

All About Heated Dog Beds

Man’s best friends deserve to have their own beds and nothing will keep them warmer and cozier than
a heated dog bed. These beds come in many different shapes, sizes, and colors and will provide a
gentle heat for your dog. A heated dog bed is ideal for cooler months or for a dog that has arthritis.
Some beds have wiring in them that heats when plugged in and they work very well, but make certain
that the cord is encased in a material that is chew-resistant. It is also important that the cord is ULlisted.
Many of this type of heated dog beds are thermostatically controlled and only stay warm where
the dog lies. This makes the bed more energy efficient. Some are designed to stay warm in sub zero
degree weather. So if your dog sleeps in the barn, or garage, or basement, this type would be an ideal
choice.
If you are looking for a heated dog bed that does not need electricity, there are many thermal layered
beds that work by reflecting your dog’s body heat back to them. This is done through a unique inner
core that insulates and then reflects their body heat. These self warming beds will make dreamland
comfortable and cozy. Most beds come in small, medium, and large although some are only for small
dogs and some have an in-between size, for example, a deluxe medium.
Some pet owners think that a heated dog bed is something new but many of these beds have been
around for more than forty years. Veterinarians have found that heat is soothing not only for aging
dogs, but for active dogs as well. If your dog has arthritis a heated dog bed will make a world of
difference. The warmth will soothe their sore muscles and ease their joint pain, much the same as
heat does for our own aches and pains. All the beds are made to be cushiony soft and most come
with both a water proof and a stain resistant cover that is removable and that is also machine
washable.
If your dog likes to sleep only in their kennel, there are heated dog pads that are made to fit snugly
into their kennel and that work the same way as a heated dog bed. Many of the beds and pads offer a
low wattage heater that has dual thermostats that give your dog the perfect amount of heat. Shop
around online to find the heated dog bed that best suits your dog’s needs. These beds start at
approximately twenty dollars depending on size and features; and many sites offer free shipping. A
heated dog bed is a great way to show your “best friend” just how much you care!
