If you notice your dog shivering, hogging the blanket or suffering from joint pain, you're in need of a heated dog bed. We love the K&H Thermo-Snuggly Sleeper as an electric heated dog bed for small and medium dogs. (If you have a large dog, we suggest the K&H Thermo-Ortho Bed you can find in this article.) This bed has a supportive bolster around the edges for leaning against, and a soft squishy (and heated!) pillow in the center. It only uses 6 watts of power, and this bed is designed for 24 hour use, so you don't have to worry about leaving it on while you leave the house.
The temperature of the bed will never get warmer than your dog's body, so there is no chance of your dog overheating. The cover and the pillow are machine washable, just remember to take out the heater first. Note that if there is any chance your dog will chew on the cord, do not get this bed. Go for a self warming bed instead. Make your dog warm and happy with the K&H Thermo-Snuggly Sleeper and enjoy having the bed all to yourself again.
