The 10 Best Pet Bed Warmers

If you have a feline that spends most of its time outside, then the K&H Extreme Weather Kitty (about $45) is the perfect choice. Constructed of durable plastic with a steel-wrapped cord, it can stand up to the elements for years to come, regardless of where you live.

If you have a multi-kitty household, you'll definitely want to take a look at the affordable Prairie Horse Supply Thermal Mat (around $13), since you could easily buy a few of them without breaking the bank. It is smartly designed to reflect an animal's own heat back at them.

The Fluffy Paws Indoor 2288000 (appx. $50) periodically power cycles to ensure that your fuzzy buddy always has a cozy spot to lie down without staying on constantly and using up electricity. The non-skid bottom keeps it in place, so it won't slide around due to restless animals.

The Milliard Thermal Cat Mat (appx. $16) utilizes an animal's own body heat to keep it toasty, so you don't have to worry about the possibility of short circuiting or getting burned. It comes in two sizes, and is just as suitable for small dogs as it is for felines.

The Arf Pets Self Heating (around $19) has a polyurethane foam core that traps and reflects body heat. It also happens to make it very comfortable to lie on, so Fido will never want to leave. Unlike other similar models, though, it isn't machine washable.

One of the few models available in an extra-large size, the K&H Manufacturing 3102 (appx. $20) can accommodate big breeds, so even your rottie can be kept nice and toasty. It is designed to keep itself about 10 to 15 degrees above the ambient temperature.

The K&H Manufacturing 551401 (around $24) is convenient solution that doesn't require you to have an outlet near your four-legged companion's resting area. Simply put it in the microwave before placing it wherever they snooze and it will provide them with up to 12 hours of heat.

The Allied Precision 98P-L (around $83) does a good job of dispersing heat evenly and preventing hot spots, which means it can be safely covered with a variety of materials. And to start you off nicely, it comes with a soft fleece throw.

The Snuggle Safe (about $89) has no cords, so you don't have to worry about a bored pooch chewing through the wires and possibly getting shocked. Instead of plugging it in, you put it in the microwave, so feel free to leave it with your animal when you go to work.

If you want to keep your dog or cat cozy and comfy, the Evelots Self Heating (appx. $18) is more than up to the task. It provides just the right amount of cushioning for most animals, so you don't need to worry about putting another pad beneath it.
