PetSafe Heated Wellness Sleeper

Comment: This pet sleeper is a great buy for my two small dogs who both fit in the mini size.

Comment: I took the worthless 'heater' out, zipped it up and gave it to a thrift store as a regular dog bed.

Comment: I purchased this heated bed a couple of weeks ago thinking that my geriatric 18-year old cat might enjoy a warm spot to sleep when a lap was unavailable. Boy did I ever underestimate the appeal. It was love at first nap! She'll leave the bed to eat, use the litterbox, and read on the couch with me but that's about it. For the most part, she spends her day lounging contentedly in the bed. Dollar for dollar, I think that it's the best cat accessory I've purchased in all my years of cat ownership.

I thought I'd clear up a few misconceptions I read in earlier reviews:

1) It doesn't get terribly hot (which I think is a good thing). It's designed to generate about 12 degrees of heat above room temperature. If you throw a blanket on top of it for a few minutes and then touch the surface, you'll definitely feel the warmth.

2) The cover can be easily removed for washing. If you're worried about the durability of the zipper or fabric, you can always use one of those lingerie bag thingies.

3) With sufficient determination, the cord (like virtually all electric cords) can be chewed through. The plastic/rubber seems a little thicker than normal but it's hardly impenetrable. I've had a cat chew completely through much more substantial electric iron cord before. If your pet is a cord chewer, rather than blame the manufacturer you just need to exercise due diligence and extreme caution. All things considered, this may not be the product for you.

Comment: I like the dog bed and so does my dog. She's a small/medium dog. the sides are very tall so she fits inside the bed and looks so cuddly when shes sleeping. I haven't used the heater only to test it. I live in California so we don't get very cold. I didn't buy it for that reason though but it is an added bonus if you want to use it. The price was great I had been shopping for a reasonably priced dog bed and just couldn't find one, even Wal-Mart or Target couldn't come close to the price. Thanks for offering this deal on Amazon.

Comment: I have bought every kind of pet bed in the past for my cats and they will not sleep in any of them. When one of my cats came down with Chronic Renal Failure, I did a lot of research on CRF and I came across an article that recommended a heated bed or blanket for the cat. So I bought the small PetSafe Heated Sleeper. At the time I had three cats, it soon became a problem, all three cats love the bed I could not keep them out of it. So I had to buy another. This was over four years ago, recently one of the beds stopped heating so I had to buy a replacement (another PetSafe Heated Sleeper). It's also a relief for me, NO more cats on MY bed!!!
