K&H Pet Products Thermo-Mod Dream Pod

My three cats would fight over who got to sleep on these beds. I had two and the cats loved them, especially in the winter, when I like to keep the house cool. Two problems showed up during the 3rd year - I could never get the darn things free of cat hair. I washed the pillow fairly often but the upper and lower insides were just covered with cat hair. Finally got so disgusted I threw them out in the spring. I tried every kind of brush, lint roller sponge etc. Second - my 20 year old cat (I actually bought the first one for him) began to lose some hair on his tummy when he would be in it for long periods of time (he loved it). I thought maybe he was over heating and didn't realize it. The other My three cats would fight over who got to sleep on these beds.

I thought maybe he was over heating and didn't realize it. The other two cats were fine. So if two were in it, I would pull the plug. After I took them up in the late spring, his hair grew back. I just have to watch him. So I plan to get 2 more for the winter. If I could just get the darn things clean on the inside! … more

I do not recommend. The heating pad in the one I purchased seemed to be extremely weak. I apropriatly tested the product by placing a heavy object inside and waiting the directed time, only to come back thinking I didn't plug it in, or needed to turn it on further some how. I removed the heating pad source from the cushion, and it was just barley warm. I let it sit with the object on it for a little while longer and it was still barely warm. Unfortunately, the heating pad that came with mine isn't strong enough to even heat through the padded cover. I purchased this for my hairless sphynx, but will have to continue looking for a warmer option.

Thought this would be a good idea since my cat has always preferred covered beds, but is constantly looking to perch herself in a warm sunny area even if it means awkwardly climbing on my laptop bags. Additionally, there will be a lot less of these sunny spots for her once I finally get my blinds in for the windows. Once I set it up in the home office, it instantly became her favorite and she doesn’t even touch her other two beds anymore. May end up buying another for the bedroom later.

I purchased this for my older cat, and she loved it.. my younger cat loved it too, it looks like I will be getting another one!!

When we got it, it had a strong smell to it. I put some fabreeze on it and allowed it to stay in the area to get the smell out. I did plug the pad in a put it in a chair to get her used to the mat then put it inside the bed after a couple weeks when the smell to the bed improved. I put it in front of the door in a favorite spot of hers and before I knew it she was inside. Now I can place it wherever I am and she is there right beside me warm and cozy. At night I place it in its location and she will come up missing and I can look for her and she is inside resting and when I look inside she gives the best purr and reminds me that she is happy and loves it. It is worth every penny all when I hear When we got it, it had a strong smell to it. I put some fabreeze on it and allowed it to stay in the area to get the smell out.

This is our kitten’s favorite sleeping spot. It’s very well made and big enough to fit large cats too. Highly recommended!

None of our kitties will use this bed. They’ve really enjoyed other k&h beds & heated beds, but something about the entryway on this one must be off putting. We’ve tried washing the removable cushion, changing locations, adding treats / cat nip, luring them in with toys, but no one wants to nap in it.

Love this for my sphynx! Some people complained of this item having a strong chemical odor, mine didn't have that. When I received it, I was a week out from getting my kitten so I went ahead a plugged it in to make sure it was working and would warm up well. It worked great. It did take a bit to get warm. It only heats up by 4⁰ so its not very noticeable to us, but its a big difference to our pets, especially my hairless cat. The top half zips off so you can open it right up to clean all the little crevices inside. I keep a sleep sac inside of mine that turns this into a little burrow for my cat, so he doesn't really even touch the inside lining of the bed so I'll probably clean it every two Love this for my sphynx!

I keep a sleep sac inside of mine that turns this into a little burrow for my cat, so he doesn't really even touch the inside lining of the bed so I'll probably clean it every two weeks, but thats a nice feature. Sometimes cleaning pet accessories is a headache because the nasty places aren't easily accessible but its important to get those areas as hairless animals can get skin infections from bacteria.. The cord is a good length in case you can't place the bed right near an outlet. I'm training my kitten to sleep in this vs. sleeping on me and my kid's like he tries to do. So when he eats his meals and comes to us for a rub, we get him sleepy eyed and wrap him in his blanket and take him to his burrow and he doesn't even try to leave it, just turns his back to us and goes right to sleep. Its a life saver for when you need a good night's sleep and you've got a new kitten or puppy and you're trying to train them to sleep in their own spaces. This would easily fit in a crate as well. Just LOVE it! … more

Dogs love but on day 5, still has a strong smell. Not sure what it is but kinda like new plastic? This is unfortunate for dogs since their sense of smell is so strong. Also, the hole for the Pod is up a bit high for my 5lb chichi. Makes her nervous to get in and out so took top off and hopefully smell will dissipate too.

I bought it for my Sphynx cat. He wouldn’t go in it at first. It took me completely unzipping and separating it. At that time my pug immediately took to it as a nice cozy bed and wouldn’t get out of it. That night I zipped it back together and put a small Sherpa blanket in it, and now I can’t get my cat out of it! I highly recommend this pod, especially for hairless creatures living in cold climates! I keep it plugged in 24/7. The pad itself gets “warm” never “hot”. It’s seems to be a perfect temperature and doesn’t overheat the animal or the pod itself like I was afraid it would. It seems, too, adding a blanket does distribute the heat more evenly as well.
