No matter what the weather is like outside, some pets just need a little bit of extra warmth to soothe hip and joint pain or to comfort them as they snuggle. For an easy, safe way to make your pet’s napping spot cozier, try the Heated Wellness Pad for Pets from PetSafe.

Like PetSafe’s Heated Sleeper Bed, this pad provides a safe alternative to potentially dangerous spots that tempt pets, such as radiators, stovetops, or laundry dryers. But unlike the Heated Sleeper Bed, the Wellness Pad can be used on its own or tucked into an existing pet bed – saving you the trouble of buying a new bed that you might only use for part of the year.

Although the Wellness Pad is electric – a drawback for some owners who might prefer a non-electric thermal option – PetSafe has included safety features to ensure that your pet’s napping spot is doesn’t have unnecessary risks. The power cord is sturdy, and an electronic thermostat keeps the pad at a stable temperature.

Another nifty feature of the PetSafe Heated Wellness Pad is the dual temperature option – with one side running about 10 degrees cooler than the other. For multi-pet households, in which one cat may just want a snuggly spot, while another might need more serious pain relief, this feature is especially helpful. Our tester cats happily settled into both options, and began to show a preference for the Wellness Pad over their existing beds.

The pad’s fleece cover is also easy-to-clean – after several washes, the material stayed soft and fresh.

Simply put, for older pets, or pets who are seeking sources of heat throughout the house, the PetSafe Heated Wellness Pad is a secure, easy-to-use option.

Pros: Fits into most pet beds; machine-washable cover; dual-temperature option.

Cons: None.
