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!
