Two layers of orthopedic foam are so thick and supportive that even the largest dogs will not 'bottom out'. The unique dual thermostats maintain an even surface temperature 12 to 15 degrees above the ambient air temperature to a cozy 102 degrees when in use. The heater is removable for washing. Year-round indoor use. Limited one-year warranty. Medium 17 in. x 27 in. 6 watts.

Nice bed and a reasonable price
»
I bought one of these beds to try it out and see what the elderly dogs in our pack thought of it before buying multiples. The bed is a bit smaller than expected - yes I checked the measurements first - but it just seems smaller in person. However, the 16 and 11 year old Dobermans both used it throughout the day and seem to really like it with the heat on and off. The 13 and 10 year old Rhodesian Ridgebacks used it and decided they prefer their older, larger beds with bolsters and no heat. The verdict is to keep the K&H Ortho Heated Bed and buy one more for the Dobermans. The heat seems to be just right - warm enough for me to feel on the bed, but not hot enough to make me worry about burns, overheating or damage to the bed itself if it's turned on for hours at a time through the winter.

OK, but room for improvement

As others have noted, this bed does not get very warm on it's own, but I've felt it right after my dog got up after a long nap & it was quite toasty - I would not want it much warmer. The size of the heating element is apparently the same size, no matter how large the bed - I think it should be proportional to the bed as it seems very small for the size of hte bed.
I got this for my 13 year old Border Collie as the weather is getting colder. Getting up in our high bed was presenting some challenges after a recent shoulder injury. Since this is in our bedroom, I have it on a timer so that it is not wasting energy all day staying warm when it is not in use.
We have hardwood floors in our house & the slick fabric bottom on this bed makes it slide terribly - deterring our dog from using it (it would slip when she stepped on it). This was resolved w/ the purchase of some of that rubber matting that goes under area rugs.
Overall, not a bad product - but a larger heating element & less sliipery bottom fabric would be huge improvements.

only half is warmed

The bed is nice for my dog but I got the large size and the warmer is only big enough to warm about half the dog bed.

Spend your $$ Elsewhere

After one winter the heating pad didn't work anymore. The warranty is for one year, and we didn't try to use it again until the next winter so too late to get it taken care of.
