Pet Bed Warmers Make Winters Cozier
As the wind chill drops the temperatures, and the snow steadily rises, have you considered getting a pet bed warmer for your faithful, furry friend? Pet bed warmers can provide just the right amount of heat to make snoozing more comfortable. But it's not merely a luxury for the pampered pet; these pet bed warmers can offer economical as well as health benefits.
Benefits of Pet Bed Warmers
To conserve on fuel bills, many homeowners are turning down their thermostats in the evening. This may mean that your pet's sleeping area may be chillier than usual. A pet bed warmer provides a reliable source of heat to keep your companion animal comfortable all night. Additionally, pet bed warmers are a safe way to accomplish this. It should be immediately noted that a pet bed warmer is very different than a heating pad. Heating pads are not recommended for use around animals because they can reach very high temperatures, which can cause injuries. Another factor is that heating pads are not meant to be placed under the covers, they are designed to be laid on top of a person for a period of time and not all night.
If you have an elderly animal or one who suffers from arthritis, a pet bed warmer will be much appreciated. This device can actually have therapeutic benefits as aches and pains are decreased through the gentle presence of the heat. A pet that is ill or injured will also be able to get the much-needed rest for their recovery. Toy dogs and dogs with shorter fur will enjoy the warmth as they snooze and wait for spring to return.
Pet bed warmers are also vital accessories for breeders. Being able to keep newborns warm in an emergency may mean the difference between life and death. Zoos and kennels use them regularly and with positive results.
How Do They Work?
Most pet bed warmers need to be plugged into an electric outlet, with the actual device placed under the top cover of the bed. They run on low voltage, which should ease the safety concerns owners may have. The thermostats are also regulated so as not to go above unsafe temperatures. The heating elements are sealed and so are the electric cords. The pet bed warmer is waterproof thereby removing any shock hazards. There are certain brands that are heated in the microwave, and claim to provide lasting warmth for the entire night. Before purchasing a product like this, check out the various features and see which one makes you more comfortable in your mind as well as bring comfort to your pet.
