Review of K&H Pet Products Thermo-Kitty Mat Heated Pet Bed Mocha 12.5 X 25 Inches
Our cats love their K&H Pet Products Thermo-Kitty Mat Heated Pet Beds. They always have a warm place if they feel cold.
If no cat is on the bed, it feels slightly warm. When a cat lays on the bed, the bed warms slightly more but never dangerously hot for a cat.
The heating element inside the bed cover is smaller than the cover so don’t be surprised. Our cats find it plenty warm and have never complained.
This bed is designed for indoor use. Of course, DO NOT USE this bed with a sick or invalid cat who cannot get off the bed on their own. DO NOT USE a human heating pad for animals- they get dangerously hot for animals.
Some reviews say the bed is not “ON” until a pet is on the bed but this is not accurate. According to the K&H website, “The surface of the bed will be about 15°F above ambient air temperature until the pet lies on the bed. Then it will warm to about 102°F, which is the natural body temperature of dogs and cats.”
Cost to operate is very low since this model draws 6 watts per hour. We live where the electricity is expensive at $0.33 per kilowatt (most of the U.S. pays half this or less) so it costs us about $1.50 per month per heated bed if it is plugged in the whole month. For most people the cost would probably be $0.75 per month, perhaps less. You can do your own calculations.
Great for senior cats or skinny cats. However, the K&H website says,
“Important Safeguards:
• Consult your veterinarian before use with young puppies/kittens, convalescent pets, during surgery/surgery recovery, or any animal that cannot voluntarily remove themselves from the heated pad. K&H recommends using ONLY the Deluxe Lectro-Kennel Heated Pad for these animals as this pad has an adjustable thermostat.
• Do not place pad in confined area where the pet does not have the ability to remove themselves from the pad. Always allow your pet enough space to be able choose if they want to rest on the pad or off the pad.”
OTHER OPTIONS
Over the years we have purchased about seven K&H versions of heated pet beds and none have failed. One version is a round “basket” in which the cats love to curl up because it has sides (comes in two sizes- get the large for an average size cat). Some are just the heating element and cord to be placed in your own cover (pets should not lay on the element without a cover). The heated beds like the Thermo-Kitty Mat Heated Pet Bed are our go-to, no-brainer choice- plug it in and the cats figure out how they want to lay on it.
We also have tried a round disc (a non-K&H product) that is warmed in a microwave and is warm at first but the heat dissipates through the night leaving the disc less warm by morning; and then you have to heat the disc again. The advantage of the disc is that no electricity is needed near the bed and there is no electrical hazard for the pet. The K&H heated beds provide constant, even heat throughout the day and night. The disc is also a hard, rock-like lump in the bed. If you place padding around the disc, the heat is blocked, keeping the disc warm but not the pet.
We have also tried non-electrical warming pads that have a heat reflective layer (that makes a crinkly noise) to reflect the pet’s body heat. They work to a certain extent but not like an electrically heated bed. The advantage of the reflective pad is that no electricity is needed near the bed and there is no electrical hazard for the pet.
THE BOTTOM LINE
Our cats love their heated beds!

Amazing. Always slightly warm, heats up with pressure
I cannot speak highly enough about this heating pad. I adopted my cat, and his front leg was broken as a kitten, and not treated correctly. Don't pity him, he trucks around the house like a three-wheeled shopping cart, grumbling all the way.Cool days, particularly cool-damp days, he loses some of his speed and just tucked up in a ball and napped. I ✨️love✨️ this cat, and it broke my heart seeing him uncomfortable. In the short term I made a nest of blankets for him to burrow into, but I needed a better solution. I researched cat heating pads; I knew they were a thing, and used in shelters/vet clinics. I was prepared to spent upwards of $50 for something to give the sweet cloud relief. I came across pressure activated heating pads and immediately knew that is what I needed.I decide on this one with the safety features and size. When this arrived it was early fall, still some warm days hanging around. I would put the cloud on the heating pad, he would feel it was already warm, and he would loaf on it for a few minutes, but would get up after 10m. I decided that he knew where it was, and what it did, it was on him to use it.The heating pad is always barely warm. Enough that when your cat steps on it, the warmth lures them in. When they stay on the heating pad it heats up. I'm sure the whole thing heats up, but it doesn't feel warm anywhere except for under the cloud.As the weather has gotten colder, the cloud is on it more and more. Days that booboo paw is bothering him, he will lay on that arm. Other times, the cloud is just stretched out napping on the heating pad.If you have a specials needs cat, older cat, or even one cat that just loves to snuggle, get this. It's amazing. I already have one in my cart in the event this one dies. (I might just order it and have it on hand immediately.)

This is 6 watts ( a 100 count led xmas is lil over 4).. it won't feel warm until the pet lays on it ( or you do the pillow test)
You just plug it in, no dial etc..
It has a nice case, we lay a pillow case
Over it, thin enough to not interfere but we have a bunch and its easy to wash when it gets hairy..
I did end up using a heavy duty cord, with the watts im not freaked out over it...
We inherited broomsticky and bedknobben when our stepdad passed, he inherited them when mom passed, not wanting to freak out our kitties ( one is a cujo like bowling ball) or BnB.. we set up a basement apt.. pretty snazzy for unfinished but it does only have 1 vent...
We keep house warmer than we like, and run a space heater a few hrs am n pm to compensate but i wanted something in between.. this is perfect!.. now sticky has passed so when bedknobben wants to warm her old bones she can snuggle onto this...
... it seems to be just right...
Sometimes regular pads can get too hot..
And btw even with this, the cat needs to be able to get off of it when they want to, so for a temporarily confined pet, or a very ill, you will have to monitor them..
Inexpensive solution...very happy so far, may get a second one for her window bed since the watts are low ( we only have 1 outlet, and that has tv, antenna cams n xmas lights for night lighting....
We do use blink cams, so i do like that i can keep an eye on it, but my neighbors have had their outside ones on cords 24/7 for weeks now..

Al recibirlo el producto te pide que lo pruebes poniéndolo bajo una almohada por 20 minutos. Después de ese tiempo se sentiría tibio en la almohada, y ese mismo calor será suficiente para calentar al o a los gatos (caben 2 hechos bola)
Lo compré para evitar que los gatos se intentaran meter a las cobijas de noche mientras duermo y definitivamente ha cumplido con eso. Probablemente compre otro ya que tengo más de dos gatos.
