The first soft, outdoor heated bed on the market! The Lectro-Soft is extremely low wattage. Perfect for doghouses, basements, garages, barns, sheds, porches or any other outdoor shelter. This soft, orthopedic bed is unique in that it will still provide soft, comfortable warmth even in sub‐zero weather! Super soft PVC is used on the exterior to ensure the bed doesn't absorb water and stay wet like a fabric bed would. Indoor or Outdoor use.
Not recommended for destructive pets. 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. 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.
Instructions
Suitable for use in the home, garage, porch, kennel or pet house.
Place the Lectro-Soft directly on a hard, flat surface in your home or inside a doghouse or kennel. The area chosen should be sheltered from direct rain or snow.
Pull out the air valve on the bottom side of the bed. Plug into 110 - 120 volt AC outlet while the air valve is still released. Allow 15 to 30 minutes for the Lectro-Soft™ to begin to warm and fully expand. The unit will feel slightly warm to the touch.
After desired expansion, push down on the center of the bed to remove a little air. Then push in the air plug to seal the bed. This will prevent a ballooning effect when your pet is enjoying the bed.
After initial warm-up, your Lectro-Soft will feel cooler to the touch. This is the intention for energy efficiency. When your pet lies on the bed, it will warm to a comfortable temperature in even the coldest of weather.
The Lectro-Soft Outdoor Heated Bed does not inflate, as many people believe. After opening the air valve, you will not notice a big difference in size, but the bed will expand slightly. All the air is removed from a Lectro-Soft bed when vacuum packaging it for shipment. Opening the air valve allows air back into the bed, which helps the inner foam gradually expand to its original size. This process can take up to 24 hours, depending on how long the bed has been vacuum packed.
Wash the faux fleece cover on the gentle cycle with cold water, then line dry. The bed can be cleaned using a damp towel or sponge and mild dish washing detergent. Do not wash in a washing machine.

Can I bend or fold the Lectro-Soft to make it fit my pet's house?
The Lectro-Soft should not be bent or folded. We only recommend placing it on a flat, stable surface.
Does the Lectro-Soft use a lot of energy when plugged in? I'm worried about high electricity costs.
Depending on size, the Lectro-Soft only uses only 20, 40, or 60 watts. It's an energy efficient product that consumes very little electricity.
What material is the Lectro-Soft Cover made of?
The top is a soft faux fleece while the bottom is made of an open weave fabric that allows the heat to pass through.

Can i set the temperature? Can i set hours to be on?
Answer by Hillary • Jan 28, 2023
TL;DR: No, you can't set the temperature. No, you can't set hours to be on, but you can use a separate timer plug to achieve the same thing.
From another website's description: "It uses an internal thermostat to keep the temperature at a desirable 102 when the pet lies upon the heated pad; and will remain 10-15 degrees above ambient air temperature when your pet is not on the bed."
From my experience with owning four of them: The bed will barely feel warm if unoccupied, but if anything is covering it (pet, blanket), it will get toasty. My indoor cats love these, and my outdoor cat sleeps on one in a cardboard box in the garage all winter.
There is no integrated timer, but I've successfully used these with wifi plugs set to a schedule (FEIT and Alexa types). A cheap rotary timer plug would work, too.
I can recommend these from several years of use. Hope this helps!
Can this heating pad remain plugged in for a week?
Answer by • Dec 21, 2018
You should always unplug the K&H Pet Products Lectro-Soft Outdoor Heated Pet Bed from the outlet when not in use.
Can a blanket/pad be placed under the heated pad? Can the heated pad be placed inside a igloo type house?
Answer by • Nov 17, 2018
It's recommended to place the Lectro-Soft directly on a hard, flat surface in your home, garage, porch, kennel or pet house and should not be covered with blanket, or pad.
Does this pad need to be flat? The house we have it a bit smaller. Can part of it curve up the side as long as it’s not folded?
Answer by • Jan 01, 2018
For accurate heating results, it's recommended this heated pad lay flat.
This is the second heating outdoor pad that I have bought. The first one I purchased about 8 years ago and it is still going strong. They are very sturdy and operate as they should. I just wipe them down with soap and water at the end of the season and store them till the next winter. Sturdy, wire covered cord is well constructed.

Love these beds
I have a couple of these, and my cats love them. You can inflate them to your preference. Since I figured my cats would rather have it on the softer side, I didn't inflate it too much. It took one of them a little getting used to (think of it like walking on an air mattress), but they all love it now. The heating element definitely works well, too. A++

Cats Love It.
I have one that I bought many years ago about 16 and it still works. I bought another one because my two boys can not fit on it together. They both sleep on them all night long. The only difference is the new one will not get air into it and it's just flat!! Let it sit plugged in for an hour after opening it a few days after Christmas and it just won't get air into it. The old one no problem it filled with the air like it is suppose to for a nice little air cushion. Maybe I will try again, but either way my big boy sleeps on it and that's all that matters, he likes it. I just hope it last as long as the one I've had for all these years. I will give it 4 stars for the air not inflating.

Michigan winter
I am so happy and grateful for this product! I have a huge problem with feral cats. This has worked really well for my situation. This seems to be a very safe and effective way to deal with the winter weather.

Just OKAYYYY
I’m not impressed with this heating pad. It doesn’t provide much warmth at all. I touch it and barely feel anything. It’s plastic and has a cover however the cover is so flimsy and really feels like with time it won’t stay on. It’s only on one side too. I really haven’t decided if I wanna keep it or not.
The only part I do like is that it does seem safe to leave on for longer periods of time with the thick cord and the coils over the cord.

Didn't work
I put these outside with water bowls on top of them so that the water wouldn't turn to ice. The water was a block of ice the next morning. We went through 4 days of temps below freezing - mostly in the teens. I wanted to make sure the outdoor neighborhood cats had a place to get water. It didn't work. Will be returning them

just what I was looking for
I built a house for 3 feral cats that live under our deck and wanted something to keep them warm in the winter months. the 2 mats I bought worked perfect. they are very well made. the house is insulated and I have a blink camera inside, so I can see the temperature inside. it stays around 60 when it's 30 outside. they were worth the money

Works well
This warming pad is a hit for our little dog. We use it inside the house in half his 24" crate, with a soft mat on the other side, per safety recommendations. He can remove himself from the warm mat if he wants to, but every morning he is happy and warm on his heated pad. Works as advertised.

great for feral kitties
Took a day or two for one of the cats to sit on them but once they did, they were hooked . It’s does get warm but not too warm. Plus when they are not sitting on it, it turns off automatically. So it’s only on when they are using it. Awesome
