K&H Pet Products Thermo-Snuggle Cup Bomber Heated Cat Bed, 18 x 14 in, indoor, machine washable

Polyester covers the shell of this heated cat bed from K&H, which measures 18 x 14 inches and is built for larger cats. The bed is an oval cup design with soft, floppy sidewalls, and it includes a removable 4 watt heater that sits inside the bed. The cover can go completely into the washing machine once the heater is taken out.

The cup shape, floppy sidewalls and fabric of this bed

The bed is an oval cup shape in gray polyester, and its sidewalls are soft and floppy. That cup form gives a larger cat a defined space to settle into, while the sidewalls stay flexible rather than rigid. The surface is polyester, the same material used across the bed's exterior.

The heater is removable, and so is the bed warmer itself. The manufacturer designed the warmer to be taken out and stored during the warmer months, so the bed can be used without heat in summer. A thermostat in the heater ensures warming happens only while the pet is inside; with nothing in the bed, its surface remains at room temperature or just above it.

Does this heated cat bed suit a larger cat and a standard Canadian outlet?

The bed is sized for larger breed cats and is listed as suitable for most larger cats, with an oval footprint of 14 x 18 inches and a height of 7 inches. Before buying, measure the spot where the bed will go against those dimensions to confirm it fits the floor space you have.

The bed runs on 110/120 volt electrical current only, and it is meant to stay indoors in a home. Check that the outlet where you plan to place the bed supplies that voltage. The bed is also completely machine washable, but only after the heater has been removed, so plan to take the heater out before each wash.

The 4 watt heater and how the thermostat works

The heater is a 4 watt unit that fits inside the bed and can be removed for washing or for storage. Its thermostat warms the bed only when the pet is inside, and an empty bed holds a surface temperature at room level or slightly higher. This bed is designed to plug into a 110/120 volt household outlet and to be used indoors. The manufacturer states it has been tested and certified by MET Labs.
