Arf Pets Microwavable Dog & Cat Heating Cushion

I purchased this item for a feral cat that I have a dog house to protect. It is large, he us small. The.nights are now below freezing. This item was supposed to get hot and keep him warm through the night. It never got hot under the microwave directions it was warm. The first night and the second, I went out to check on how it was conducting heat, and it wasn't even warm through the fleece wrap. This is a total waste of money and your animal will not benefit at all.

Too small, too hard and I wish I had not purchased this item. I have a cat that used to come around just in the evening to be fed. I fed him and then he would leave. This went on for about two years. For the last few months he evidently decided he lives here. He does not leave after being fed and has been sleeping on a bench under an overhang in front of my house. I wanted something to put under his blanket to keep him warm but this is too hard and too small.

It was too hard for my cats to lay on. They did not like it. This is the first time that I have bought something from Chewy that I did not like

Doesn't last long enough for my outdoor kitty but would be good for elderly pet indoor or if I get a backache

Seems like a knock off from a better brand I've used. Doesn't stay warm as long as others.

I ordered two of these heating "cushions" after seeing them in use at the animal hospital while my dog was there whelping a litter of puppies. The labor took about six hours so something was needed to keep the puppies warm while mom was in active labor. The vet tech brought one of these in and the puppies immediately all crawled over to it and went to sleep on or next to it. When the puppies were all delivered and we got bundled up to come home, I was amazed that the cushion was still warm! I don't understand why they call these things "cushions" though... They feel like hard plastic disks with a fabric covering - not at all soft like you would expect a cushion to be.

I'm comparing this to my snuggle safe, for reference. It does stay warm for a bit, but not as long as a snugglesafe. It is also not as sturdy, but if you are careful with it, it works. I accidentally dropped mine on the way to the microwave and it popped open. Atleast the cover that came with it fits a snugglesafe. Be gentle with it and it will work just fine.

Which I personally loved during the arctic weather event we had had. However, the cat still preferred my lap, and no matter how I experimented with using "the disk," he was clinging onto me, and I bought this so he'd have a super afternoon staying on his pillow. Just to say, I didn't realize it is a very solid eight inch disk. I would use it on a sore back or my frozen knees or feet. Yeah.

I have used these heating pads for my older animals to help keep their bed warm at night. I am now feeding feral cats in the neighborhood and these are great to keep their house warm when there is no outlet to plug in a warming bed.

I bought this for 3 orphan kittens- microwave for 2 minutes and they LOVED it!! Kept them toasty
