Our barn cat is 9 years old, and really appreciates the warmth provided. We have tried the pet beds that reflect the body heat back, but she was always shivering. Now she stretches out and enjoys the warmth of the pad. We like the fact that it turns on and off according to the room temperature.

This product is PERFECT for your pet on those chilly nights. We have 2 boxers that sleep in separate beds and they used to sleep in tight little balls but now they lie sprawled out from one end of the beds to the other!

The warmer doesn't get too hot (which is good) so you have to place it under a slender piece of material or it doesn't work very well. For example, one of our beds is a normal egg shell with a fabric cover and we have the warmer inside of a pillowcase and zipped up between the fabric and egg shell and it works great. On the other bed, it has a thick pillow as a base so we had to put the warmer on top of the pillow and then cover it with a blanket; otherwise, with the warmer under the pillow the top of the pillow never got warm. The key thing to remember is that these are WARMERS so they don't feel warm enough to a person but they get PLENTY warm for a pet.

This product makes mornings bearable for my 15 year old cat. He loves sleeping on his heated bed.
