For dogs, these pads can be used in their beds, kennels or in their favorite lounge spot to help keep them warm and cozy without needing to crank your heat up more or bundle your dogs in clothes and blankets. This also keeps it simple for your dogs to warm up, without overheating or getting sick.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Heating pads for dogs can be powered in one of three ways. The first is the standard electric option. Electric heating pads are plugged into an outlet to power them, providing you with a constant power source. This makes them reliable for all night use to keep your dog toasty. But they should not be used if your dog is a chewer that might attempt to eat the cords. This can lead to serious health hazards. You should either choose a different power source or take steps to keep it wrapped and covered so your dog can\u2019t chew the cord.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>A Second Option<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second option for powering your dog\u2019s heating pads is with a microwave. This is done by microwaving the pad in the microwave for a few minutes and laying it down under your dog\u2019s bed or blankets. This is an incredibly straightforward process, providing you with hours of heat at a time. However, you will need to microwave them to get them warm, and they will need to be heated in the microwave again a few hours later to keep it warm.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The final option is the most self-sufficient because it uses thermal energy. This means that the heating pad uses your dog\u2019s own body heat and stores it in the pad, to help keep your dog warmer longer. It requires no outside power source and is incredibly cost-effective. They come in fleece or sheepskin coverings to make them plush and comfortable, while also being durable for a more active and destructive pet. However, your dog\u2019s own body heat will only do so much, making it not ideal for extremely cold temperatures.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Why You Must Provide It To Your Dog?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether it is for lounging in your home or to keep them warm in a kennel, your dog needs to be kept warm through the colder weather. Even if your dog has very long, thick fur, they can get cold in freezing temperatures. But dog breeds that have little body fat, thinner fur, and short hair all will have a much harder time when it is cold staying warm.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By keeping your dog warm, you help prevent illnesses like colds, health conditions like hypothermia, and make them much more comfortable and happy. This means you will save money on vet bills, medications, and extra fuel usage while making sure your dog is getting what it needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Dog Heating Pads Factors to Consider<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To better tell if your dog will benefit from a heating pad, and make sure you get the right one for your dog\u2019s needs, it is important to consider certain factors.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Dog Body Type<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/topdoghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/shutterstock_215727346.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3515 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/topdoghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/shutterstock_215727346-293x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"293\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topdoghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/shutterstock_215727346-293x300.jpg 293w, https:\/\/topdoghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/shutterstock_215727346-1001x1024.jpg 1001w, https:\/\/topdoghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/shutterstock_215727346-768x785.jpg 768w, https:\/\/topdoghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/shutterstock_215727346-60x60.jpg 60w, https:\/\/topdoghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/shutterstock_215727346.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 293px) 100vw, 293px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Certain dog breeds like Saint Bernard, Newfoundland or Huskies are able to withstand colder temperatures. They have thick fur and overall body build that supports that. But dogs with much thinner fur, or less body fat like greyhounds, chihuahuas, bulldogs, and pugs are going to have a much harder time staying warm. For them, it&#8217;s harder to get comfortable in colder weather.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means that you need to make sure you are providing them with some extra help when it is cold.\u00a0 They aren\u2019t going to burn too much energy trying to stay warm and risk getting sick. It is also important to recognize that even dogs built for colder weather will have their limits and will need help in extreme cold.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Dog Age<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Older dogs and young puppies are much more susceptible to problems with the cold, making it necessary to provide them with some extra help. Pregnant dogs or dogs that are nursing should also be kept warm and comfortable to keep their bodies from stressing to stay warm. Otherwise, you can end up with serious health issues for your dog.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Dog Size<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/topdoghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/shutterstock_39775036.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3516 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/topdoghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/shutterstock_39775036-300x196.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"196\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topdoghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/shutterstock_39775036-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/topdoghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/shutterstock_39775036-1024x669.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/topdoghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/shutterstock_39775036-768x502.jpg 768w, https:\/\/topdoghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/shutterstock_39775036.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is important to make sure you are providing your dog with a heating pad large enough to help them. Smaller breeds will be able to fit more easily on any mat size. But larger dog breeds will need to be measured and you will need to get something large enough to accommodate its size. Otherwise, your dog can still have a hard time keeping itself warm if their body is not fully on the pad. The heating pad may not produce enough heat for a large dog either if the size difference is too great.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Climate Where You Live<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have relatively mild winters where you are, with warmer temperatures, it is not as necessary to have something to heat your dog up. You can opt for thermal powered heating pads because it will help keep your dog warm without overheating them. You might live in an area with more extreme temperatures where it is going to be very cold. In this case, you will need to provide your dog with something that can give your dog that extra heat that its body will desperately need. This means you will need a more powerful heating pad that will keep your dog warm for longer periods of time. Electrical powered heating pads are ideal for these scenarios.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Where The Dog Will Be<\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/topdoghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/shutterstock_1107608372.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3517\" src=\"https:\/\/topdoghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/shutterstock_1107608372-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topdoghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/shutterstock_1107608372-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/topdoghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/shutterstock_1107608372-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/topdoghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/shutterstock_1107608372-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/topdoghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/shutterstock_1107608372.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Indoor dogs can cuddle up with you. They enjoy the natural heat of those around them.\u00a0 The heat in your home will help it. This means that it will rely less on the heating pad, and use it more as an addition to the heat of its surroundings. But dogs that are kept outside, or in a place other than the home, will need to have something substantial to help it. A heating pad is crucial for any outside dog because they need protection when facing the elements.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>How Long They Will Need The Pad<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Heating pads that use thermal energy or that are microwavable are great for keeping your dog warm for short periods of time but is not an all-day solution. This is because your dog will only produce so much body heat before it needs an outside source to help maintain the temperature of the heating pad.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Microwavable heating pads will stay warm for a few hours. The inconvenience is that you will have to reheat it several times a day and throughout the night to maintain that heat. This is why they are more ideal for shorter-term needs. For long term and all-day use, you will need to use something like an electrical heating pad. It will produce continuous currents to the pad and keep the temperature from getting colder as the day goes on.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Controls and Settings<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you go with an electrical heating pad for your dog you will get much more control over the pads temperature. This is important because electric heating pads maintain heat, rather than losing it. That makes it a lot easier for your dog to overheat.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Cleaning Method<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should look for a heating pad that is cleanable. This will prevent being stuck with a stinky pad. But you should also look at the cleaning process, to make sure it isn\u2019t overly complicated or time-consuming.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Safety Features<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No matter what power source you go with, you need to make sure that the heating pad is durable enough to handle your dog. This means going with chew and scratch-proof materials that will prevent your dog from destroying it and getting hurt. You should also go with flame-retardant materials and automatic shut-offs if you go with an electric model.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><b>Conclusion<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether it is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Pet-Products-Lectro-Soft-Heated-Outdoor\/dp\/B07PFYM5F7\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ac_md=1-1-aGVhdGVkIGRvZyBwYWQgb3V0ZG9vcg==-ac_d_rm&amp;keywords=heated+dog+pad&amp;pd_rd_i=B07PFYM5F7&amp;pd_rd_r=a3c25d76-e73e-43af-bc7d-46b23f3b37c8&amp;pd_rd_w=Svnlt&amp;pd_rd_wg=YI4wY&amp;pf_rd_p=ed481207-4bea-4e19-bbad-73ed40fdc292&amp;pf_rd_r=AV3CHE8PV4WSRFANJKVY&amp;psc=1&amp;qid=1573716698&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=topdoghub-20&amp;linkId=8da9dadc10cfb8dfa36004bd85359a6b&amp;language=en_US\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"external\">K&amp;H Pet Products Lectro-Soft Heated Outdoor Pet Bed<\/a> or any of the other models on your list, you can be sure you are providing comfort and warmth for your dog all winter long.
