K&H Pet Products Extreme Weather Kitty Pad & Fleece Cover

I'm a lic. vet tech and rescuer of abandoned cats and dogs, I bought the first K&H heating pad for an outdoor cat pen to keep my 2 outdoor cats warm. They absolutely loved them, then I bought 2 more for my carpeted dog houses and found my dogs would come out for affection and food, but then they wanted back in their houses with the heating pads. I've owned 4 now and they stay plugged in 24/7 in winter, even though it's the south and winters are relatively mild. I haven't had any dogs chew on the coil wrapped cords, and after 5 years they are all still working when I break them out in October each year.

Hard plastic bed does not bend and will not fit through doorway to cat house. also, says extreme weather, not true, no better then the other ones I’ve had- actually worse, the other ones I’ve had were at least a soft pad

I had the Extreme Weather Kitty Pad hooked up according to the directions for less than 2 full months (Jan. to March) and it never was noticeably warm at any time. The outdoor cat I bought it for stopped sleeping in the crate I had set up for him that he previously slept in all the time with the smaller K&H heating pad which kept him warm. I unplugged the Extreme Weather Kitty Pad and replaced it with the old smaller one I had because there was a very strong electrical short smell coming from the large pad. The outdoor cat has since I put the smaller heating pad back, been sleeping in the crate again.

This has been one of the best purchases I have made at Chewy. It allowed me to go to the next level with the stray kittens I've been working with. This bed keeps them close to my house where I can care for them. Of the five kittens born outside only two remain and I am doing my best to rehabilitate these babies to eventually live inside or as a hybrid indoor/outdoor cats someday and this mat has made all the difference in that pursuit. It took a few weeks for them to take to it because they didn't like that I added a blanket. So now the bed is in an unobstructed box on my covered porch. Once I threw cat treats in there they finally entered. I'm assuming they realized it was warm and that's what This has been one of the best purchases I have made at Chewy.

This will ease your mind (and suffering in the world) if you are caring for some strays or cats who refuse to come inside. Highly recommend … more

I take care of a few stray and feral cats and put this out for them from Nov.- Mar. in MN. Usually when I look out the window I see one of them laying on this. I have it in a cardboard box with 6” high sides (they won’t use anything with a roof) that’s been lined in heat reflecting foil and it’s under an overhang so not always protected. When the falling snow can reach it I just cover it with a towel until it stops and I’ve had no problems. The pad is easy on and off, stays put, is easy to shake out and hand wash and dries quickly. I recommend removing and shaking it outside, both the element and pad get very dusty from use. On sale I paid under $30 and it’s worth that.

This is a wonderful item. It keeps the cat warm but not hot. The temperature is very well controlled in any weather. It has been on for about 2 months now and has kept the outside cat warm as she sleeps or just vegging out. Peace of mind for the owner.

The recent ice/snow storm proved this to keep a squatter kitty safe and warm on porch. Every time I went to feed it, it would come out of the make shift house of cardboard box set in styrofoam encasement with heavy duty plastic on top to keep sleet and ice off the cardboard and extreme weather kitty pad in box with fleece blankets for added warmth.

I bought this for my cat who is always cold (his favourite winter spot is on top of the air vent) I have it in my living room and he has never used it, even after I put catnip on it. I thought it would be softer but it is a very hard plastic. The free cover that comes with it makes it slightly better but it still feels very hard. It doesn’t get very warm - certainly not warm enough to make a big difference indoors. Maybe it would be better outdoors.

We have a momma kitty that we had fixed and will hopefully adopt out one day. Her two 8 month olds (we also had fixed and want to adopt out) and our two cats are inside our small rental house(momma wants NO part of that zoo~one of our cats feels the same way unfortunately). So this leaves her outside~insert sad face. We made her a little house with this heating pad in it and she surprisingly stayed in it right away! We did the pillow test per the instructions and also feel the pad when MK leaves her house...the pad feels warm which makes us very happy that she has a shelter to be cozy in when she needs it!

We bought 2 of these pads for a couple cats that come by our house from time to time . With record breaking cold we built 2 boxes and insulated them putting these pads on the bottom. They love the boxes ! Highly recommend. They don’t get too hot snd draw little power !
