Description With a one-piece pillow, soft fleece cover, and an efficient heater, it's no surprise that the K&H Thermo-Kitty Bed is one of our best-selling cat beds. Choose from two sizes and attractive color combinations to match your home's decor. The included small Pet Bed Warmer rests within the Thermo-Kitty Bed's soft poly-fil bottom to deliver soothing heat to your cat. When unoccupied, the bed surface will remain 10-15 degrees greater than room temperature. When in use, the bed will heat to your cat's natural body temperature, which is about 102° F. Important Safeguards: 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. Care & Instructions Washing Instructions Remove the Pet Bed Warmer from inside the cushion. Remove the foam ring from inside the cover. Wash the cover and cushion on the gentle cycle with cold water. Line dry or use the no-heat cycle on your dryer. *If the foam ring needs to be washed, please follow these directions: Hand wash with soapy water, rinse, squeeze the water out gently, and then air dry. Testing Your Thermo-Kitty Bed You can test the bed by placing a large pillow on top of it. After about 20 minutes, feel under the pillow. It will feel warm, not hot. DO NOT use an extension cord during this test. The surface of the bed will be about 15°F above ambient air temperature until the pet lies on the bed. Then it will warm to about 102°F, which is the natural body temperature of dogs and cats. Product Q&A How do I remove the Pet Bed Warmer? There is a zipper located in the cushion. Simply unzip that and pull the heater out. To find the zipper pull, take your finger and gently poke it through the bed where the cord comes out of the bed. Now look on the other side to see where your finger is poking through. That is where the zipper pull will be located. How long is the cord? The cord is 5.5 feet long. What temperature will this bed reach? The surface of the bed will be about 15°F above ambient air temperature until the pet lies on the bed. Then it will warm to about 102°F, which is the natural body temperature of dogs and cats. Are your heated beds and pads pressure sensitive? Our beds and pads are NOT pressure sensitive. All K&H heated beds and pads feature dual thermostats and are designed to warm to your pet's normal body temperature when he/she lies on the pad. This is a function of the insulation provided by a pet’s body, not the weight of the pet. K&H beds and pads will emit heat anytime they are plugged in so your pet can sense that heat and be drawn to the bed or pad for warmth and comfort. When your pet is not on the pad, the heat will dissipate into the air and the surface temperature will vary according to the ambient air temperature. Can I use an extension cord with this product? MET requires that all manufacturers put the extension cord statement “Do not use with extension cord” on every item that is MET listed by UL 499 standards. This is because they cannot test every extension cord on the market in conjunction with our products for safety. Also, MET suggests that an extension cord is not recommended as a permanent fixture and should only be a temporary solution when using any electrical product. For more information on MET safety testing, please visit their website at www.metlabs.com . How long can a heated bed or pad be plugged in? MET Safety Laboratories suggests unplugging the bed if you leave your home on an extended vacation, as they do with any electrical appliance. Otherwise, it is designed for 24/7 operation and you can leave it plugged in all day. This item has been certified by MET labs to adhere to strict electrical safety standards. For more information, please visit www.metlabs.com . Is there an off/on switch? There is not an off/on switch. The pad is always on when plugged in. For a garage, would you advise an indoor or outdoor heated product? For a garage, we recommend an outdoor heated product. They have the features necessary to ensure your pet stays warm in even the coldest of temperatures. 1-year Warranty Download Product Manual
