So the cat/dog supplies the heat. WTF? I guess a blanket is a self-warming device too. Marketing BS. It's insulated... period.

Actually, there's a structural difference in these pads marketed as "self-warming." There's a reflective, metallic thermal sheet inside these not found in a run of the mill bed or pad. The purpose is to limit radiative heat transfer from the top of the pad to the bottom so the top of the pad stays warmer.

I'm always searching K&H pet deals at Amazon and bought 4 of these this morning. $8 is a no brainer. These are nice and thick and wash well. Perfect for elderly cats and dogs with winter coming. We have tons of K&H beds, heating pads, cuddlers, cots and window perches. Everything is high quality and animals love them. K & H makes quality stuff.

Also, if my cats get wind of the fact that they are responsible for generating the warmth and it requires effort, perceived or otherwise, they'll just boycott this product.

Do you think a mat that is "Self-Warming" is electric? I'm starting to worry about people.
K&H is most well known for their heated pet beds/pads. So that's kinda the first thought. Self warming is just a bed.

My OG cat got years of use out of this with a buddy or two. Before he died. It's still functional.

I think we are up to 6 K&H beds/pads and..more cats than I'll admit to unless we are dating.

I got a heated bowl a couple of months ago from them. It has a wire spiral over the cord to prevent chewing. However, that spiral isn't attached at the end and easily shifts enough that chewing could occur.

I'm using the bowl for cats (my dad had a similar one for years that still works), so am not too worried about chewing. However, it is a good idea to make sure you're plugging the bowl into a GFCI outlet that WORKS - test it with a cheap tester for those.

If your house'garage is older and the outlet isn't GFCI, they're not too difficult to install, or buy a short GFCI extension cord, or GFCI adapter for the outlet. They cost around $20 - you should be using plug-in power tools in GFCI outlets, too, so you in the spring, summer, & fall, you can use the GFCI extension cord/adapter with your power tools.

I'm not saying necessarily about this item in particular, but this makes sense and is not hard to believe. It is cheap to have such a layer (e.g., emergency blanket, reflectix type layer) in such a pad

I bought two of these last year for my cats. There is a mylar layer (emergency blanket material) that makes them work (reflective heat). Once the cats figured out what they were, they love them. One of them is sleeping on it right now.

Now cats are not dogs and they typically don't like sleeping out in the open, so I have stuck one where they normally sleep and the other where they normally sit and watch the birds (or stare off into space).

They are a little hard to clean as the mylar layer rips internally if you try to wring it out with a twisting motion.

I am getting another.

Are people putting these outdoors? I fail to understand why you would want such a thing in a climate-controlled house. Maybe quilt them together for the girlfriend that is always cold?

We bought one of these for one of our cats (yes, we knew it wasn't electric) to try it out. They LOVE it. We now have 4 of them. If the cats get chilly, they know exactly where to go. Doesn't use electricity, cats are warm, $8. What's not to like?

It's the pad as well as the pet. The pad contributes to the self-warming because of the metallic thermal sheet inside it that is not included in most pads.

The reason is cat's biology is different than that of humans. Their ideal temperature is warmer than what humans find most comfortable.

"...the thermoneutral zone for domestic cats is 30–38°C [15] (NRC 2006). Yet most cat housing areas in homes and laboratories are maintained closer to 22 ± 2°C [15]. Thus, thermal discomfort may be a common experience for many cats, despite being an issue that is relatively easy to remedy. Providing opportunities for cats to behaviorally thermoregulate such as provision of warm bedding, resting areas, boxes, or heating elements such as SnuggleSafe® will enable them to more easily cope with the environment."

Cats prefer a warmer temperature to be comfortable. That's why they're always in the sun, on car hoods, or like mine currently sitting on the stereo receiver. Our houses are climate controlled, but they're cooler now than they were in the summer. We put on socks and a hoodie...but cats are wearing the same outfit. Smilie

But if you can get a cat to sit on your cold girlfriend...win win!
