Heated Dog Beds: Why Your Pup Needs One

Shop Petco’s full-range of heated dog beds and dog heating pads to help your furry-friend fall into a deep and restorative sleep during cold nights. You may find your pooch could benefit from a heated dog bed if you notice them gravitating to the closest warm grate or sunny spot whenever they get chilly. Heated dog beds are especially helpful if you have an elderly pet with arthritis or other joint issues. The warmth from a heated mat or bed helps increase circulation to promote healing in deteriorating muscles and joints.

If your small dog expends a lot of energy shivering, a heated dog bed can reduce discomfort by safely warming them up. Some styles offer a lowered front, giving your pup easy access to their toasty sleeping quarters. And when it’s time for cleanup, their removable cushion can be taken off for a hassle-free wash. Self-heated dog beds are an ideal choice if your pup’s bed isn’t close to an outlet. That’s because a layer of special insulation within self-heated dog beds radiates warmth generated from your pet’s body keeping them comfortably snug.

If your picky canine has a bed they already love, you can make it more comfortable with a dog bed warmer or heating pad. Many heat pads are equipped with a thermostat, so your pup won’t get too hot. Should your pooch prefer their dog house, you’ll be glad to know there is a line of dog heating pads designed to tolerate the elements while keeping your pup’s temp up. Whenever it’s cold outside, you can have peace of mind knowing the dog bed warmer is keeping your furry friend nice and cozy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, heated dog beds are generally safe for dogs when used correctly. The bed should not be too hot or overheat, as this can be dangerous for your pet. It's important to make sure the temperature is set correctly, and that the bed is not placed in an area where your pet can lay on it for too long.

Heated dog beds use an internal electric heating element to warm up the bed. The temperature can be adjusted using a thermostat or via a remote control, and the bed will remain at the desired temperature until it is manually adjusted or timed off.

The best heated dog bed will depend on your pet's size and needs. Consider a bed with an adjustable temperature control, a removable heating element for easy cleaning, and a waterproof or water-resistant liner to protect the bed from accidents. Additionally, some beds feature self-regulating technology that automatically adjusts the temperature based on the dog's body temperature.
