How to Test Your New Heated Pet Bed from K&H?

 

 

Heated pet beds are perfect for keeping your furry friends cozy, especially during colder months. If you’ve just gotten a new heated pet bed from K&H, whether it's for indoor or outdoor use, it’s essential to ensure it’s working properly before your pet settles in. Follow this quick and easy guide to test your heated bed and guarantee comfort for your pet.

1. Plug in the Heated Bed

The first step is simple: plug in your K&H heated pet bed. Ensure the power cord exits from the back of the bed for safe positioning.

2. Use a Large Pillow for Testing

Next, place a large pillow on top of the heated bed. This simulates your pet’s weight and helps the bed warm up efficiently.

3. Wait for 20 Minutes

Leave the pillow on the bed for about 20 minutes. This time allows the heating mechanism to activate and bring the bed to the appropriate temperature.

4. Check for Warmth (Not Hotness)

After 20 minutes, lift the pillow and feel the bed's surface underneath. It should feel warm, not hot. K&H heated pet beds are designed with safety in mind, so don’t expect the bed to get excessively hot.

5. Thermostatically Controlled Heating

Here’s a fun fact: K&H pet beds are thermostatically controlled. This means the bed is programmed to warm to your pet’s normal body temperature only when they are lying on it. When no pet is on the bed, the surface remains about 15°F above ambient air temperature. Once your pet settles in, the bed warms to approximately 102°F, the natural body temperature of dogs and cats.

6. Safety First

Since the bed is thermostatically controlled, you won’t feel extreme heat when touching it. This ensures your pet receives just the right amount of warmth without overheating.

Conclusion

K&H heated pet beds offer a safe, comfortable way to keep your pets warm. By following these simple steps, you can be confident that the bed is functioning correctly and ready for your furry friend to enjoy. Their built-in safety features ensure that your pet’s bed warms up just enough to match their natural body temperature, creating a perfect cozy spot during cold weather.
So, if your pet’s bed feels warm but not hot to the touch, don’t worry—it’s working perfectly!
