A thick, soft sherpa mat with a thermal reflective layer that sends your dog's own body heat back to them. No cord, no battery, no switch. Just a warmer, softer place to lie down when the floor is cold.
How it works (and what it is not)
- It reflects the warmth your dog already gives off. A thermal insulation film inside the mat holds that heat in, so it feels warm once your dog is lying on it.
- It is not a heater. It has no electricity and no heating element, so an empty mat will feel like a soft, insulated mat, not a warm one.
- Four layers: soft sherpa top, self-warming cotton filling, thermal insulation film, and a non-slip bottom.
Sizes
- Small, about 16 x 20 in: for small dogs, up to about 20 lb.
- Medium, about 20 x 28 in: for dogs up to about 35 lb.
- Large, about 24 x 35 in: for larger dogs. Measure your dog curled up and lying stretched out, and pick the size that fits the longer one.
Sizes are approximate and can vary by about an inch.
Care
- The outer cover unzips and can be machine washed.
- The filling inside is not washable or dryable. Take it out before washing the cover.
Good to know
- A mat cannot treat any health condition. If your dog is shivering, stiff or struggling in the cold, talk to your vet.
- Dogs that spend long periods outside in winter need a proper insulated shelter. Bring them indoors in very cold weather.
- Supervise puppies and dogs that chew bedding, and take the mat away if your dog starts chewing or swallowing pieces.
- Place it on a dry floor, away from open flames and radiators.
Winter, from your dog's side
Your dog can't tell you the floor is cold.
They just curl up a little tighter. Lie on the one warm patch they can find. Follow the sun across the room. Hardwood, tile and laminate hold the cold long after the heating clicks off, and the ones closest to the floor feel it first.
A soft, insulated place that is theirs is a small way of saying you noticed.
How it works
Warmth that comes from your dog.
There is no cord, no battery and no switch. A thermal insulation film inside the mat reflects your dog's own body heat back to them, so the mat feels warm once they are lying on it.
Soft sherpa top
Plush and curly, nice to sink into.
Self-warming cotton
Thick filling that holds heat in and softens the floor.
Thermal insulation film
Reflects body heat back toward your dog.
Non-slip bottom
Tiny grip dots keep it from sliding on smooth floors.
What it is, and what it is not
- It is a thick, insulated, self-warming mat that needs no power.
- It is not an electric heating pad. An empty mat will feel soft and insulated, not hot.
- It is not a medical product. It cannot treat any condition, so ask your vet if your dog is struggling in the cold.
Who it helps most
For the ones who feel the cold first.
Older dogs
Slower to settle and slower to warm up. A thick, soft mat is a kinder place to lie down.
Short-coated and small dogs
Whippets, Frenchies, terriers and toy breeds have less coat to hold heat in.
Dogs on hard floors
Tile and hardwood are the coldest surfaces in the house. This puts layers between them and your dog.
What the experts say about winter and dogs
It isn't just you noticing.
“Older animals, underweight animals or those with other medical conditions may have difficulty staying warm.”
“Like humans, very young and very old dogs have a hard time regulating body temperature.”
“If it is too cold for you, it is likely too cold for your dog.”
These organizations write about winter care for dogs in general. They have not reviewed or endorsed this product, and a mat is a comfort item, not a treatment.
Sizing
Pick the size that fits your dog stretched out.
Measure your dog lying down, stretched out and curled up, and choose the size that fits the longer one. Sizes are approximate and can vary by about an inch. Between sizes? Go up.
Good to know
Questions, answered
Does it plug in?
No. There is no cord, battery or switch. It works by reflecting your dog's own body heat, so there is nothing to overheat and nothing to chew through.
Will it feel warm before my dog lies on it?
No, and we would rather say so. It is not a heater. It holds in the warmth your dog gives off, so it feels warmer once they are lying on it.
Is it a good choice for an older or arthritic dog?
It is a thick, soft, insulated place to lie down, which many older dogs appreciate. It cannot treat arthritis or any other condition, so ask your vet about your dog's care.
Can I wash it?
The outer cover unzips and can be machine washed. The filling inside is not washable or dryable, so take it out first.
Which size should I get?
Measure your dog stretched out and choose the size that fits the longer measurement. See the size table above. Between sizes, go up.
Is it safe for puppies and chewers?
It is bedding, not a chew toy. Supervise puppies and dogs that chew bedding, and take it away if your dog starts chewing or swallowing pieces.
How long does delivery take?
Orders usually arrive in 10 to 20 business days, with a tracking email as soon as your order ships. Order early if you want it in place before the cold sets in. More on our shipping page.
