  • Learn More About Pet Mats & Pads

    There are two main types of pet heating pads: electrical and non-electrical. Heating pads that don’t use electricity could have a foil layer to reflect the pups' heat or be made from warm materials like fleece. Non-electric pads make great outdoor pet heating pads, as you don’t need to worry about the weather damaging electronics. Electric heat pads work by coils embedded into the pad, which you can adjust to different heat settings. If you’re around to check on your pet, you can use electric heating pads to keep your pet warm, but it’s important to monitor the heat levels and how long they rest on them. There are also microwaveable heating pads designed for puppies and kittens.

    Pet cooling mats either use a layer of gel or water to draw body heat away from your pet or a cushioned, highly breathable layer of cloth or other fabric. For gel mats, the pressure your pet exerts on the pad activates the gel to maintain their cool on hot days and recharges itself after a period of disuse. While highly effective at keeping animals cool, they may also help soothe aches and pains in older pets with inflammation or joint pain.

    Pet placemats are ideal for catching food spills, water, and drool, as well as marking a designated feeding spot for you and your pet to meet each day. While a pet may look right past the beautiful mat to get to their food bowl, you can enjoy many designs from sellers on Etsy. You can decorate their feeding station with bright colors and fun patterns, or consider a personalized pet food mat with their image or name put directly onto the mat.
