 Great bed, & cat loves it!, March 06 ,2010
Lyanne E. Hoefer thinks that:
My Shepard never gets a chance to lie in it, as the cat is always in it! And set up took about 5 minutes.

 Coolaroo elevated pet bed - medium, March 05 ,2010
Audrey O. (College Station, TX) reveals that:
We got this for our Dachshund and it appears to be very sturdy. If you move it, the legs will twist a little so it is not quite level. However, this can be easily and quickly adjusted. This is the only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars.
The bed is a little bigger than I anticipated, so you may want a smaller one if you have a Shihtzu, Dachshund, Schnauzer, etc. My little Pluto gets on it easily and watches his squirrels as he sunbathes. I have already bought a replacement cover, as I was worried one might not be available in 2 years, like with the last outdoor pet bed we bought. Although they are good quality, I doubt any fabric that is comfortable enough to lie on can withstand summer sun and winter ice for too long. The blue is the nicest color in my opinion, but I could only get the replacement in green.

 Happy customer/Coolaroo, March 04 ,2010
R. M. Price tells us:
This is the second Coolaroo raised dog bed we have purchased. We had to exchange this one as the cover was too short. However, Amazons' customer service was outstanding and prompt. No complaint at all! When the exchange arrived, the screws were missing! I called Coolaroo and again was given wonderful, fast service. The screws arrived in a few days. With Amazon and Coolaroo giving such nice responses, I wouldn't hesitate to order again. Our pets use the beds all the time and we feel they live up to the claims made for them.

Product Overview and Summary

This is the new soft design Lectro-Kennel that you have heard about. It has all of the great features of the original Lectro-Kennel, but it is made of softer material giving owners much more flexibility in placement and transportation, and giving your pets extra comfort. Lectro-Kennel has been warming pets for over 30 years. Designed for doghouses, basements, garages, barns, sheds, porches or any other outdoor shelter. This bed is perfect for the daytime outdoor dog. It uses an internal thermostat to keep the temperature at a desirable 102 when the pet lies upon the pad. The unit is constructed of a soft but durable material and has a steel wrapped cord to ensure your pet's safety. The Lectro-Soft comes in 3 sizes (S, M, L) and is extremely low wattage. Note: This is a soft bed that is NOT recommended for destructive dogs. If you have a pet that chews or is destructive in any way we suggest the Original K&H Lectro-Kennel.

Customer Experience and Opinions

 The cat is pretty happy, February 19 ,2010
paint thread suggests that:
I bought this based on reviews knowing that there was a chance the cat wouldn't like it. I used it to start the process of civilizing a feral cat, getting him used to the comforts of home. Once he figured out that he had heat he was hooked!

 Scarlett loves the heated outdoor bed purchased from Amazon, February 19 ,2010
Barbara Hartman suggests that:
My cat,Scarlett, loves this bed and if she is not outside doing cat things, she is laying on this warm bed. It is soft and comfortable. I put it in her regular bed and she now lays no where else. It came with a really nice cover, and I am very happy with the purchase. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to make their cat happy.

 Great warming pad for outdoor kitties, February 18 ,2010
CKS (Groton, NY USA) thinks:
I have two semi-feral cats who live in my backyard. They are quite hardy, but the really cold days of our Northeastern winters can be tough on them. These heated pads create a little oasis of warmth that have become the cats' favorite spot. The pads are just the right size for one cat, so when I had only one pad, there was a constant conflict about who would get the prime territory. Now with 2 pads, both cats stay warm and happy. The only down side is that the pads do seem to require quite a bit of electricity since my power bill has definitely gone up since I hooked up the pads. But I think it is worth when I see the kitties sleeping peacefully in the middle of a blowing snowstorm.

 Cat Bed, March 09 ,2010
J. Schwetz (Rochester, New York United States) thinks that:
Great item. My cats love it! I have outdoor cats and am using this in their cat house. It works great.

 it works ok, February 23 ,2010
playboyesquiere (Oklahoma city, OK, USA) tells us:
i purchased this for my small dog a corgie fox terrior for his dog house outside. I touched the pad and it's luke warm and doesn't seem to be really putting off that much heat. I think he enjoys the pad though b/c it's cold outside and he lays on it inside the dog house eventhough he does have a pet bed in there as well. From all the reviews read i thought it would be alot warmer. The cover that comes with it is pretty much worthless it easily tears.

This saved the lives of my feral cat colony I am sure - we are having the worst winter in Maryland on record. Got this just in time for the blizzard!
