Pet Supply Imports SnuggleSafe Pet Heating Pad By: PSI       Average Rating: 4.5     Total Reviews: 270 More Information LOVE IT!     On: 2010-09-08 I am using this for puppies that were recently born. It isnt safe to keep a heating pad on for hours at a time, but this stays warm for 10 hours plus with no electricity! Great for Feral Cat TNR Clinics.     On: 2010-08-20 We are feral cat colony caretakers. My first experience with this product was at the monthly TNR clinic. After neuter surgery cats generally will shiver due to a reaction with the anesthesia and need to be warmed or they could go into shock. The clinic had several of these to warm cats up who needed help. They are AWESOME for this purpose. If you are involved with TNR and volunteer at clinics, these really help out! (No more warming saline solution bags over and over again!) Finally finding out what they are called, we have added this to our feral cat "rescue" kit! Feral Cat TNR Clinics. - UPDATE     On: 2010-08-20 We are feral cat colony caretakers. My first experience with this product was at the monthly TNR clinic.

(No more warming saline solution bags over and over again!) Finally finding out what they are called, we have added this to our feral cat "rescue" kit! EDIT I came back after receiving this item to add additional comments and lower the rating. First, the listing for this item does not show or really state (except in a lower part) that you receive a cover for it and the picture does not show a cover so you think you need to purchase one. You dont. It comes with one, so basically we wasted $2.95 + shipping for an item we do not need. Second, after purchasing and receiving this item, the very next day we found these at our local PetSmart for (are you ready?) $14.75. The current price of $28.53 is nearly $14 higher than the exact same ones we found at PetSmart (and they were not on clearance). If I would have known these were available at my local PetSmart, we would have saved nearly $17.00 plus $5.65 shipping for a total of $22.65! These are OVERPRICED! Go to your local PetSmart and purchase one there. I truly feel like I have been ripped off! Wonderful product     On: 2010-07-04 I wish I had this product years ago. 4 minutes in the micro and I slip it under my kittys bed. worthless     On: 2010-06-18 Didnt work for us. Pups wouldnt go near it. Why choose a rock hard disc (albeit swaddled in a towel) when mom is much more comfy. will wonders never cease     On: 2010-06-08 Stays hot all night after 4 minutes in a (high power) microwave. I put it on the bed under a soft blanket. My cat sleeps on the blanket with the SnuggleSafe disk underneath. He used to like to cuddle up to us all night but that got a little crowded. Now he stays on his blanket. The cats blanket is big enough so that he can sleep with the SnuggleSafe directly under him or he can sleep off to the side if he gets too hot. The disk is still quite warm in the morning. After 4 minutes in the microwave the disk is so hot that I wouldnt want to hold the plastic case directly. Fortunately, it comes encased in a soft fabric sleeve (sealed with velcro) so it is easy to take out of the microwave and put on the bed. As another reviewer noted, it is a nice heating pad for humans too. Sometimes I use it to warm myself up before letting the cat have it. Of course you dont want to put it in an animals cage or in any situation where the animal cant get away from it. If your cat or dog were to pee on it and if they couldnt get away from it, they might get burned (imagine taking a dish out of a hot oven with a wet towel). One of the people who complained about this product apparently used it in a cage on an airplane. Works perfectly for me. SnuggleSafe is the Best     On: 2010-05-29 We have 2 kitties that stay in the garage 365 days a year in Chicago, where we can have some cold-cold winters. I have been using SnuggleSafe for about 7 years and love them. (This is my 3rd set). I nuke the heaters for 5 minutes each and know that the kitties will have somewhere warm to sleep. (They have a bed with lots of blankets). I like the fact there are no cords or plugs to worry about. When I go to get the heaters in the morning-the kitties havent moved, they are still sleeping on top of the heaters just as I left them the night before. I highly recommend SnuggleSafe heaters. Great Product. Going to buy another one.     On: 2010-05-29 This is a great product. My dog sleeps outside and I tried the plug in heaters, but I dont feel comfortable with them and they seem to have less heat. With this product its not always in the back of my mind to wonder about the safety of it, especially if my dog pees. Im going to buy another one to put in the dog house during the day. VERY hard plastic     On: 2010-05-03 I was hoping this would be the perfect solution for an aging cat of mine with bad knee joints. He tore a ligament recently and has been hobbling around, so I was hoping the heat would soothe the pain. I ordered this item hoping it would be the solution. While it does retain heat for a long time, it is very hard, and also rather thick, so my cat wasnt comfortable laying on it, no matter how much padding I tried to soften it with. Hes also a LARGE cat and this item is smaller than a frisbee, so the size was an issue for its usefulness, as well. I would only suggest use for outdoor applications and small cats who will be much more comfortable and much more in need of heat (outdoors). Works as advertised     On: 2010-05-01 I have been very happy with my Snuggle Safe heat pad. The claims of 10-12 hours of heat are true IF you insulate it a bit. OK, it cools off in 4 hours or so if you leave it sitting out, but under a blanket, it stays toasty for a good 10 hours (I dont think I have every checked it after 12 hours, but I expect it would still be a bit warm). Granted, my cats are not much interested (maybe they will be when the weather gets cold again), but I love it. I stick it at the foot of the bed (under the covers, so it stays warm), or even just hold it while I am reading in the evening. I also got one for my Mom, who has Reynauds Syndrome, and she says it is great. She just keeps it nearby and warms her hands as needed. Great product!     On: 2010-04-05 I ordered 4 discs for my 4 cats. Arrived in perfect condition all the way to Europe. The disc is safe and very effective on cold winter nights. The disk stays warm for about 6 to 8 hours. My cats love to use them.I really like the product and it was worth the money. Shipping was fast and product is just as described. Snugglesafe pet heating pad     On: 2010-04-03 Nice, convenient, warm heating pad that lasts for several hours with one microwave heating turn. greatest thing since sliced bread     On: 2010-04-02 We have at least 8 of them in the family. We warm up our beds with them. The pets dont get to use them. LOL Best invention ever!     On: 2010-03-30 We had one of these and loved it so much for our outdoor cat, we got another. We put it into her winter "cubby" just before bed, and its still got warmth left in the morning when she comes out. This is the dead of winter too. When the temps got really low, we put a second one in for peace of mind. Its the best little thing! I wish we had known about it before. Awesome!     On: 2010-03-25 Directions say to heat the pad when it has cooled down completely. Isnt that kind of subjective? Other than that, this is a great product. I use it for my hedgehog instead of an electric heating pad and I cant imagine how much money Im saving. I heat it up once before I go to bed and it lasts through the night. During the winter, I have to heat it up again in the morning before I go to work but its a really effective heating pad for pets. This is a great product     On: 2010-02-11 Weve been using these for over a year now and our little stray is never moving out. The product performs wonderfully and as advertised. Like others I wish it was softer, but a thick thermal comforter gets rid of the problem. On especially cold nights, we use two of these. Were in snow country and our kitty is quite happy in his cat house. Weve finally worn one out (it doesnt heat anymore) and the other is getting close, but the packaging warned us that this would eventually happen, so we dont feel ripped off. SU - PURRR -B BUY!     On: 2010-02-10 If you are debating whether or not to purchase the SnuggleSafe, debate no more. I purchased these for my four feral cats. I zap them in my microwave, place them in their fleece covers and put them in the cat chalets. They retain their warmth for a prolonged period of time, and I just feel good about providing a source of heat, especially during this unusually snowy and cold winter. Great idea and great buy. Snuggly Warm     On: 2010-02-10 Product works great to provide that extra heat needed. Very safe to use. I have used this with a litter of puppies as well as older dogs. A great product!! Great product!     On: 2010-02-10 My outdoor cat loves this. Pennsylvania winters are harsh and this thing brings the old cat the warmth he needs. It holds the heat for many hours. Boots gives it 4 thumbs up! - Kat Works well.. but a few drawbacks.     On: 2010-02-09 I bought this for my indoor/outdoor cat who doesnt always like to come inside for long periods. Overall it is a great product for cold nights & days... but a few things that should be noted. 1. It comes with a cover, so there is no need to order one seperately. 2. The first time I heated it up it only stayed hot for a few hours..but the more you use it the better it seems to work & stays warmer longer. 3. 12 hrs. of heat is a bit of a stretch. I would say more likely 8-9 hours. 4. Although it seems like it would be uncomfortable bc it is hard, my cat seems to be very comfortable when it is in his bed. He sleeps in his condo with it & seems very happy on cold days when he doesnt want to come in. Overall a great product that does not require electricity. Cat seems happy with it & that is all that matters. Good product     On: 2010-02-03 I bought this for a stray kitty. The Chicago winters are brutal and didnt want to plug anything inside in the garage (fire hazard) I heat this disc up for about 12 minutes ( I have an older microwave) and it gets warm, although it staying warm for 12 hours which it claims may not be accurate at least not when kept outside in the cold winter weather. Overall, I would recommend this as an alternative to having to use electricity. great for outside animals     On: 2010-01-30 I have taken care of a ferral cat 2 years and this little item makes his outside cat home nice and snuggly...its easy to heat in the microwave and the cover if easy to wash when needed.A simple item that makes a bif difference in the little guys life. Good     On: 2010-01-30 It works great if your cat will every lay on it. It stays warm for a long period of time. The only thing I didnt like about it was it is very hard and you have to fix something really really soft to put on top of it. Great for small dogs     On: 2010-01-25 This is great tucked into a small dog carrier in cold weather to keep them warm. I also often use them in dog beds after a bath or on a cold day for extra warmth.I highly recommend it. It will stay warm for many hours. Great microwavable pet bed heater.     On: 2010-01-23 This is perfect to warm up our kittys bed in her little house which is in the garage. You microwave it as needed. It stays warm for the entire night. Outdoor Kitty loves it!     On: 2010-01-22 I have a stray, slightly feral cat that decided to take up residence on my back porch. Since the weather was getting so cold I made him a bed from a large cardboard box with 3 flaps up to stop the wind, along with a bed pillow and some blankets. He liked it but I was concerned that it was too chilly still on those 15F degree nights. For safety reasons I didnt want wires or electricity with a plug in warming mat. I added a thermal mat I bought on Amazon on top of the bedding along with a Snuggle Safe heating disk under the mat to one side. He took to the bed pretty quickly with a day or two afterwards. He sleeps on it nearly every night! Outdoor Kitty is a happy kitty! It retains heat very well, its about the size of frisbee and you should have something plush and thick over this for lots of cushioning (besides just the fuzzy cover it comes with.) Its a hard plastic and wouldnt be comfy with just the fitted cover on it. Also, a soft, thick mat helped to diffuse the heat nicely and prevented my kitty friend from sitting on the disc directly. The thermal mat and SnuggleSafe combo is a winner; he can snuggle over the disc on one side or lay to the side of it if he prefers. Great Bed Warmers     On: 2010-01-11 This bed warmer is wonderful especially for feral cats. It keeps its warmth for over 12 hours. One of the best investments I have made for outside animals. Doggy Happy     On: 2010-01-09 This is a great product. My dog loves it, keeps her warm and we dont have to have a heater on to keep her warm. Easy to use. Product really works!     On: 2010-01-08 I ordered this for my "yard" cat. Normally she is an outside cat but colder weather I bring her into the garage or basement. Both can be chilly but this Snugglesafe Heater really really works. I pop it into my microwave oven about 930pm and put it into her bed. When I take it out the next morning there is actually still heat in the disc and her bed is nice and warm. I highly recommend this product. So safe and it does come with its own cover. Great product! Beware this product     On: 2010-01-07 I believed this product to be pet safe and bought 2 of them. The first time of use, and I suppose when almost cold, my dog moved the blankets away from over one of them and with ease chewed away the filler cap. This was not noticed until I put it back in the microwave to reheat and the gel inside came flooding out. The product may be all right for a cat but not for any kind of dog that still has its teeth and curiosity. Fantastic! Safe and warm     On: 2010-01-03 I love this heat pad. I use it for myself -- to warm up the foot of my bed, put it on my back or stomach if I have aches, put it under my feet if Im cold. It lets me save a lot of $ on heating bills because its so warm! I love that it lasts for hours and hours -- unlike all the other microwave heat packs Ive tried. Wonderful for strays.     On: 2009-12-16 I bought these heating disks for the stray cats outside. They are wonderful we heat them at night and during the harsh winter days and they keep those poor animals outside warm. Cats love these!     On: 2009-12-14 I have two outdoor kitties, and I put these heated Snugglesafe disks under a towel in a box on my porch. Every night I find them nestled in, on top of their disks like warm little chickens. I purchased 5 of them. One for the dog, and the other four so I could swap two out AM and PM for the outdoor cats. These need to be cold before you re-heat them, and after only 4 mins in the microwave, the disks are actually still a little warm after 8-9 hours in 20-30 degree temps. In the past I used heating pads hooked up to an extension cord, and worried about the cats and my house going up in flames. I am so glad I found these disks, so I dont have to worry about that anymore. Love them! Does what it says it will     On: 2009-12-13 We have a former stray cat that weve adopted and lives outside in our backyard (never comes inside...yet.) We bought this to put in her bed so that shed stay warm on cold winter nights -- especially recently where the temps dropped into the 20s. She loves it. We wrapped it in a small fleece blanket since its hard as a board. It has stayed warm throughout the night and into the morning. I think her body heat helps it retain heat -- there have been times its still warm in the morning, 12 hours later. Exactly what we wanted and has made the cat very happy. Life saver! ...BUT has downsides that should be considered     On: 2009-12-10 My outdoor cat is in love with this heated disk and I heat it for him all winter and would never dream of not using it...but if you do not get to it to re-heat it with in 10 hours or so it is cold as an ice brick and I often find my poor cat curled up on it trying to keep warm when it is probably making him colder than if he just had his blankets! So if you cant easily get to it in a winter snow storm like I can (our cat lives in a dog house on our deck so I can reach the heat pad from the slider door of my house) then dont buy this product! Your poor animal will be freezing to death on a hard frozen disk if you dont go re-heat it! Also, when I ordered it a couple months ago I thought it was gonna be sorta soft but it is not rubbery or flexible, it is hard as a rock even when hot...this is not a deal breaker for my cat, he loves the warmth. I still give it 3 stars because my cat loves it and I find it easy to use, I just wanted the downsides brought up. I probably should have bought one that plugs in! wonderful product     On: 2009-12-08 I love the Snugglesafe Heatpad. Its the 2nd one that Ive purchased. It stays warm for at least 10-12 hours. Just be careful not to overheat as I ruined my 1st one doing so! My dog snuggles up to it all winter long. My tiny dog loves her SnuggleSafe     On: 2009-12-07 I have a miniature Rat Terrier, always cold, who gets very excited as soon as she sees the disc come out of the microwave. Given that you have to wait until theyre stone cold to reheat them, I bought two and alternate them. She cant live without these discs. Snuggle Pet Heatpad     On: 2009-12-03 I am very happy with my purchase,It works just as promised and my 2 Shih Tzus love it. In constant use     On: 2009-12-02 These are wonderful. SnuggleSafe keeps its promise - that they stay warm for 12 hours. Very good for very young orphan kittens and bigger ones on cold nights. When its chilly, my cats will curl up around or on mine. It keeps my toes warm too. As a member of a rescue organization, its nice to know that when we have our cats and kittens on display outdoors at an adoption event on a cold day, each cat or kitten is comfortable with a SnuggleSafe under its blanket. Better than advertised     On: 2009-12-01 I worried this wouldnt be as good as I hoped, but it heats perfectly, stays warm and comes with a cover (so dont order one separate as suggested) We use it for our cats and/or for our chickens in their coop. Great safe, inexpensive heat! Highly recommend. For humans and animals.     On: 2009-11-29 I got the pad for my elderly dogs but have been using it for my cold feet in bed. It is heavenly. I cant believe how long it stays warm. Obviously I have to buy more for the dogs. Didnt they used to heat up bricks, wrap them up and stick them in beds on a cold night way back when? This is a really great product. I know people who have multiple ones to use for their cats AND their own ailments. I had doubts, but cat loves it     On: 2009-11-27 When I got the disk I was surprised at how hard it was (I guess I assumed it would be soft) and thought it would be too uncomfortable for my cat to lay on, even under a thick blanket on her bed. I was ready to send it back for that reason, however I started noticing that whenever I put it in the bed the cat would navigate to the end of the bed I had placed it in, lay her head there and go out like a light. It works just like that everytime. Thus, the verdict: I was not crazy about it at first, but my the fact that my fact obviously likes it A LOT has made me a fan. 6 mins. on my microwave is just perfect for heating up the disk nicely and it keeps the bed toasty warm for the whole day. Great for hedgehogs!!     On: 2009-11-02 Easy to use: easy to heat, clean and store. Also safe as no wires, electricity, caps, or lids. Keeps heat well. Cover is a bonus too. It is rather hard unlike some heat pads, but our little hedgie didnt seem to mind! I love this product!     On: 2009-06-16 We have a Netherland Dwarf rabbit and she LOVES this product. We purchased it to help keep her warm during our cold winters here in the midwest. I took everyone elses advice and purchased a second cover so I would always have a clean one on hand. She enjoys sitting on the disc so much that we just leave it in her cage even in the warmer months. I highly recommend this product. Very nice     On: 2009-06-04 This product worked very well. We had a 21 year old cat who was used to laying on the pilot lights of the gas stove. We bought a new stove that doesnt have pilot lights and she was always screaming because she was cold. We did use a heating pad but hated to leave it on when we were gone from the house or sleeping. We purchased the microwavable pad and it worked wonders. She stayed warm and we didnt have to leave the heating pad on. I just wish it was a little softer. LOVE THIS item, wish I had it earlier     On: 2009-04-14 I live in Michigan, and it gets cold in the winter. I have 4 cats and 1 dog. One cat is older, thin, with thin fur so I thought I would try this out as I didnt want a plug in item. This particular cat sleeps in a cat bed on top of a bunk bed. At first I only heated it for 4 minutes and wasnt impressed, then I found the wattage of my microwave (1000 watts) and saw that it could go in for 5 minutes. That made quite a difference. It did come with a fleece cover, which I always leave on, but I still put it under some fleece wrap and my cat LOVES it. She always sleeps on it at night. During the day, if I remember, I will put it under a blanket on the couch and she and another cat will sleep on it. I tried it with my dog, but he wasnt interested. I purchased a second one and have to admit that I stick it in bed with me. I often have to fight my daughter for it. Makes the sheets nice and warm. Now, if it isnt put under some type of cover, besides its fleece covering, it will cool much faster. And many times I have taken it out of the microwave and thought, this isnt hot, but as Ive had it in my bed with me, it can get painfully hot, so even if you think it isnt warm, it is still giving off a lot of heat. I cant be 100% sure, but I would think a lot of the negative comments are people who didnt have it heated right, knowing the wattage of your microwave is important, and not having it covered to retain the heat longer. I want to get a third one, but winter is pretty much over, so Ill wait till fall again. Not impressed at all.     On: 2009-03-26 Multiple times I have heated the SnuggleSafe according to the directions, and the pad never gets hot enough to generate enough heat to penetrate the fleece cover. It doesnt radiate heat the way I had hoped it would. Im afraid to overheat the pad in the microwave (as the instructions caution against), and I worry the pad will be too hot for my pet if I remove the pad from the cover. I should have thought better about buying the SnuggleSafe anyway - from the pictures its obviously very hard and probably not comfortable to lie on. (If you pad it more, then the heat will never get through to your pet.) My cat has no interest in it. Thank you     On: 2009-03-18 Great Product!! Fast Shipping! Thank you Would order from this seller again. heating pad for dogs     On: 2009-03-18 This is a great idea and it does what it is supposed to do however if you have a small dog like a Chihuhua, like I do, it is a little too large and too hard. You have to put a pillow over it which blocks alot of the heat. a chihuahua must have!     On: 2009-03-15 My chihuahua LOVES this. I heat it up in the microwave for 5 minutes every morning and she lays with her chin and front paws on it, then I cover her with a little blanket. She will stay there for hours toasty warm. I reheat it about dinner time. I recommend this to everyone with a small animal or an elderly animal who has a hard time getting warm. Yes, they are hard, but my dog has never seemed to mind it. I have even used it in my bed to keep my feet warm! Amazing little Product     On: 2009-03-07 I use this product more than my cat. It is amazing how long this disc can retain heat!!! Amazing!!!!!!!!     On: 2009-03-04 This product is amazing!!!! I was worried about my dog staying home in a small apartment that didnt have central heat while I was away at work, but placing this disk under her bedding kept her bed nice and warm - and for more than 8 hours every time! I highly recommend this product. Bonzo cover and Snugglesafe heat pad     On: 2009-03-02 Have a small breed -- the cover Bonzo the dog is good sized BUT my puppies love him and cuddle up to nap. I use the Snuggle safe heat pad, heated in the microwave, put in the pocket of the Bonzo the dog cover daily. All night warmth     On: 2009-03-02 The cats and I really like this item. It keeps the bed warm all night. Its hard so we dont like to lie on top of it unless it has a blanket over top. We like it a lot and Ive never tried to chew on it even though it looks a little like a frisbee. SnuggleSafe Heatpad     On: 2009-02-16 The SnuggleSafe Head Pad is terrific. It heats up quickly in the microwave and stays warm for at least 8 hrs. Its great for a cat or dog bed or for a feral cat outside (thats what I used it for). Great product!!! Great way to keep your pets warm     On: 2009-02-14 I have a small terrier that gets cold easily. This looked like a great way to keep him warm without the worry of an electric cord. I purchased two from Amazon, these are not available locally. I heat one in the morning, and place it in his Igloo dog house. It is still warm when I return home from work 8 1/2 hours later. At night, I heat the other and place in his bedding. It is still warm when I get him up the next morning. Make sure you place these under their bedding, you dont want them to touch their skin as they do get quite warm. The directions on heating are great, however- it took a few days of experimenting before I found the right amount of heating time for my particular microwave. If you have an outdoor dog, or a larger dog I recommend you grab two, as you cannot reheat these until they are completely cold. Amazons price was much lower than the few online stores that actually carry these. Warm places without the worry     On: 2009-02-09 I have used this product for my cats for many years. My older cat of 17 years is always looking for a warm place to sleep. With this product I dont have to worry about electrical fires. It stays warm for at least 12 hours and my cats love it. seat warmer     On: 2009-02-03 I purchased this for my husband (not a pet). He likes to fish and its mostly cold early in the morning, this can help warm him for long periods of time. SnuggleSafe Heat Pad for pets     On: 2009-02-01 This is one of the best items that I have ever purchased for my cats. The indoor cats love the "magic" heat it provides when tucked away beneath towels or blankets. My permanent, outdoor stray cats love them too ((tucked under old towels) especially when its really cold, windy, and rainy. I have purchased several of the disks over the years and they are durable for a multi-year period, as the manufacturer advertises. I also like them because I only need to heat the disks in the microwave oven twice a day. When the weather is cool, but not COLD, I usually only heat the disks for about 1 1/2 minutes and the heat still lasts for several hours. To me its a plus that I dont have to leave anything plugged in to keep the pad warm. I highly recommend it - so do my cats! SUPER GREAT SNUGGLESAFE     On: 2009-01-31 This SnuggleSafe is the best kept secret ever in the heating pad industry! Why they arent made here in USA is a mystery. I have owned 2 of these for a year now. I cant say enough about how great they are, for dogs AND humans. With 4 chihuahuhas I honestly heat these up at least twice a day or more EVERY day. They LOVE these things and fight to lay on them. I also use them myself when old "aurther" is acting up!!! I have used them under new baby puppies blankets too to keep them warmer than the rest of us need to be (but way under a few blankets as they can get really HOT after laying on them a little bit if they arent VERY insulated from the warmth .) They last all night and after 8 hours are still slightly warm to the touch if one blanket is over them, warmer if they are surrounded by a blanket. I set my microwave low on "5" or "6". It can be hotter than I set it but that is pretty hot to the touch at first. One warning...I did try and use it for a large 70 lb dog( mostly Lab) during the coldest weather.Shes a chewer and she had the edge of it chewed up where it couldnt be used anymore in literally seconds. So if you have a large dog that chews maybe not this item. The chis or puppies havent even dented it at all if they chew on it. I am buying my third. Works Wonderfully!     On: 2009-01-28 I ordered this product to help a stray cat that adopted me keep warm during the winter months. She was staying in my shed and needed a little extra help on those cold winter nights. She was thrilled with the warmth and the length the heat lasted. Happy Dog     On: 2009-01-26 This product is great. My dog absolutely loves this. He actually gets excited when you get it out of the microwave. Its amazing how long this thing stays warm. Most microwave "heat pads" stay warm for an hour or two. The SnuggleSafe is still warm after almost 10 hours. Not just great for cats!     On: 2009-01-24 I purchased one of these for my cats, but I have used it for myself even more. As others have stated, it is a bit rigid, and my cats dont seem interested in it until they accidentally end up laying where it is hidden, then they are warm and happy. I knew my cats would enjoy it since their favorite place to sleep is on top of the heat-emitting dvr :) But lately, here in Ohio, it has been extremely cold, and, being a student, i spend a good deal of time outside waiting for buses. I had an idea to heat up the snugglesafe and stick it in my backpack, which i did, and it was a lifesaver during those cold trips to campus. It doesnt get so hot that it would harm any of the contents of my backpack, and it is still noticeably warm through the layers of fabric. I have a whole new appreciation for this thing! Best Cat Product Ever     On: 2009-01-22 This product has improved the lives of multiple stray cats that have found their way to our side porch on many a cold night. Its not dangerous at all and only takes 12 and a half minutes in the microwave for two discs. These will stay warm for hours. Im here to order more actually. We care for many strays. They always go for the heated spots first! Its first come, first serve. In a week there will be two more heated spots which is a good thing since it will be close to zero degrees again... A Godsend!     On: 2009-01-22 I take care of a feral cat colony and even though we built a really nice insulated cat condo for the guys, its been so bitterly cold ( especially at night) that it was breaking my heart whenever I thought about how cold they must be. Then I remembered SnuggleSafes. We used them at the Wildlife Refuge where I work until we could afford incubators. They always did an excellent job in keeping the baby squirrels, birds & rabbits warm. I ordered four of them and it does my heart good when I look into the condo ( we installed a window) and see them all cuddled up atop the SnuggleSafes. It is a bit of a pain to have to heat each one up individually but its not a big deal overall. I plan on getting more as soon as I can afford it. I love them but even more importantly, my cats love them. SnuggleSage Heatpad is great!     On: 2009-01-18 A realistic solution for cats who have to sleep in unheated spaces. Recommended by a friend, and loved by my cat.She rushes to her bed as she knows she will spend a comfortable night. This is really a necessity- it is a mistake to think that just because cats have fur, they can sleep in the cold.Im sorry I didnt know about this item sooner. The Real Deal     On: 2009-01-17 Plain and simple, this thing does what the makers claim that it does both indoors and outdoors. I put it in a feral cat shelter that I whipped up and it stays hot for 5-7 hours and warm for 12. Kitty is nice and cozy on below-zero nights. To make it more effective, I seated it in a cradle that I created out of self-adhesive foam insulation (used for ducts). The cradle has significantly increased the amount of heat radiating towards kitty. I am impressed. Pet warmer     On: 2009-01-17 it works great - had to get two since it is for a small pet and my dog is 70 lbs, but it worked great for camping trips Snuggle Safe Heatpad a delight for pets     On: 2009-01-14 I purchased 2 snuggle safe heatpads and covers, for our outdoor pets, our Rouen duck Hamlet and our Toulouse goose Lulu. Once I figured out the right temperature for our microwave, I warmed them on both sides, waited a full minute for them to cool in the microwave and then put each heatpad in separate towels, and slid them under the pine shavings. While Lu and Ham hate to sleep in their house unless it is really cold, they LOVE their Snugglesafe Heatpads and hop right on them, after eating, and fall asleep, comfortably warm and safe. We have 5 indoor cats, and I am ordering for them also! and they really DO stay warm through the night - the literature states specifically the heatpad needs to be wrapped in something to protect the pets skin from the heat, and in doing so, we have given our extra children in fur, and feathers, a gift they can enjoy safely and warmly, for years to come. We high recommend the product and the cover - excellent for pets! Careful!     On: 2009-01-13 My cat would never lay on this pad even under a soft cushion. He lays in a chair, so I put it against the back. Even with a cover on it I accidentally burned his back. It is hotter than it seems so cover it well and do not make the mistake that I did by assuming that buying a cover for it is enough protection. He still likes it, but I am more careful now. Absolutely Wonderful     On: 2009-01-13 We have several outside adopted pets. Wish we could have them all in the house but thats not possible. We have peace of mind knowing the outside guys are warm and toasty in cold weather with these Snuggle Safe Disks. We have 8 of these disks. Highly recommended and they last for years. Snuggle Safe Heat Pad     On: 2009-01-10 A great product! I have a senior kitty that is always cold. Since it is made of a hard plastic, I keep SnuggleSafe under a couple layers of fleece pet blankets so its more comfortable for her to sleep on. It stays warm for at least 15-20 hours when wrapped in the blankets and the protective case that it comes with. These are wonderful!     On: 2009-01-09 I have two rat terriers and I heat them up and put them under thier blankets in their kennels and the love them. I used to have an electric one, and these are much safer. They do stay warm for hours like the advertisement states. During cold weather they felt warm after 10 hours. The covering that is included is very nice. I would purchase these again and for gifts! Pretty good for freezing temperatures     On: 2009-01-09 I bought two of these about six years ago and used them in boxes for two feral cats throughout each winter. They took a beating! I heat them in the microwave and put them in flannel pillow cases, then place in covered boxes on the deck filled with straw for these cats. They originally lasted 10-12 hours. As they wore out, they stayed warm maybe five or six hours. I just bought two new ones, and right from the get-go they are only lasting five to six hours, which is NOT what the package tells you. However, its not bad and the current cats still appreciate it. We just have to rotate them out more often. Price could be better--found no bargains anywhere on them, but it is a unique product--nothing else like it (dont have to plug in, doesnt leak, pets dont chew). Ill likely buy more. Great for haven for strays     On: 2009-01-07 If you have a haven outside for strays who wont come inside, you can put this under a blanket and it will emit heat for many hours. SnuggleSafe Heatpad     On: 2009-01-06 NOT just for animals. This is great as a foot warmer. I also use it as an old time bedwarmer. Every household should have at least one of these. It is a great product when working out in the cold. I am finding new applications for it daily. Dont know how I lived without it. Move over microwave.Stays warm for hours and hours. SnuggleSafe Heatpad     On: 2008-12-26 Hardness of the frisbee product (an earlier reviewers objection)was not an issue. Encircled by a towel (to make it level) over which I placed a small/walled kitty bed, it made a purr-fectly warm sleeping place for an outdoor orphan even when the temperature fell to 15 degrees F. recently. I microwave it at 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. daily, which seems to be adequate. Ive recommended the product to several friends and will certainly, when needed, buy another for myself ! Im trying to retain website information for future use !! Thank you ...Kathryn god send     On: 2008-12-23 I do animal rescue work. while taking kittens and cats to the store for adoption,i realized they were a little cold from the door opening so much. so i thought i would give the WARMING DISK a try. I ordered it, and got it in the mail in two days. the cats REAllY LOVE THEM. I am really glad to have such a helpful item. Also are nice to use in the car, on myself. i like the car really warm, my husband likes it cool. Great item!     On: 2008-12-20 I bought this for my elderly dog and she seems to love it. I work 12 hours at night and didnt want to keep the heat on all night. Now she has a warm bed that is safe even when I am not home. It is a great! Doesn't live up to expectations.     On: 2008-12-20 Doesnt really provide the kind of warmth you would expect. It definately does not give anywhere close to 12 hours. I doubt any outdoor pet would derive much comfort from this product. Allergic Reaction     On: 2008-12-20 We are very certain that our dog had an allergic reaction to this heatable disk. At the time we got it and used it he got very ill. He had to got to the vet, was on an IV overnight, etc. It was scary. A few days later after he was almost back to normal, the disk had come in contact with his body and he broke out in hives nearly 10 minutes later. Too much of a coincidence if you ask me. Helps keep kitties a little warmer     On: 2008-12-16 I feed and care for all of the feral cats in my neighborhood (almost all of them have been spayed and neutered through the feral cat coalition for free; I beg of anyone that cares for cats and knows of stray cats in there neighborhood to look for an organization to help get them spayed and neutered to help end the sad cycle of overpopulation, euthanization, and agonizing deaths these cats endure) I specifically bought two of these for them. I heat them up at night and put them in their large carriers that I set up for them as a shelter with blankets and it helps keep them warmer than they would be without these. they stay warm for a longer time and are safer than those heat packs filled with rice or corn etc. which have been known to catch on fire. great     On: 2008-12-16 I bought this heating disk to keep my cats warm in their dog house. they love it and it works great. Guy loves it!     On: 2008-12-13 My aunt suggested this product when I mentioned that I was thinking of getting a heated pet bed. Fortunately my cat Guy took to this right away. Hes an older boy, recently adopted from the Humane Society. He gets the shivers when he lays on our cold floors. It takes him forever to stop shivering, even when I hold him under a blanket. He can be nervous though--I just bought him a cushy pet bed that he refuses to lay on. So I was worried he wouldnt like the disk, but honestly, its bringing him more bliss than catnip! Another thing to note is that it does come with a cover--I wasnt sure that it did since the photo didnt show one. Suggle Save Heat Disc     On: 2008-12-12 Bought this for my outdoor kitty. It stays warm for about 11-12 hours when I sandwhich it between a blanket and the bottom of the kitty bed. He is loving it...especially when we dip into the high 20s this weekend. SnuggleSafe Heatpad     On: 2008-12-08 Item is as described except that it is very hard. I expected that from reading reviews but it should be listed in the product info. May not be good for older pets with hip problems since it is hard as a rock. Holds heat for a long time though. Great heatpad for animals...     On: 2008-11-29 We recently ordered this heatpad for our outdoor stray cat that adopted us recently. We wanted to find a way to keep him warm through the cold nights outside (temps get down in the 30s and high 20s). We generally heat it up at about 10pm and when we check on Chip around 7 or 8 am, the pad is still somewhat warm. He likes to sleep on it. We use the cover that came with the heatpad and put it under a blanket and he lays on top of the blanket. We are really happy with this item. I highly recommend it, especially since all you do is heat it in the microwave and its not electrical. My Tiny Yorkie Bean Loves it     On: 2008-11-27 Heats up quickly in my microwave, 4 minutes- last all night long. Instructions say must be cool before re-heating. So we bought two, that way while we are away at work he can also stay warm. It is a hard plastic disc, so we put his blankets over it in his bed, this way it seems to heat his entire bed. He watches us place the disc, replace his blankets, hops in and snuggles until he gets it just right. I do suggest the cover, it makes it easier for you to handle and less likely to be too hot on the pet in case he removes his blankets. Great way to keep you pet warm in the winter     On: 2008-11-24 Great product! This is the second one I have purchased. It holds its heat very well and wont burn your pet. The cover is washable. Kitties love them!     On: 2008-11-23 The Snuggle-Safe heat pad is a little small, but does stay warm, especially if buried under a blanket in the cat beds. The cats also will just perch on them if theyre left on the sofa in their cute covers, but they cool a little more quickly. Highly recommend for winter days in New England! Does what it says...     On: 2008-11-23 This is a decent product that does what it claims. We place them under a padded bed for our cat, and they hold heat well through the night. I say "they" because it takes two to make a decent platform for a kitty to sleep on. The disc is rather small so we got two. With only one, and that being round, you have to be creative to make a bed that isnt lumpy. So, high marks for even heating that lasts for several hours if tucked under a blanket or pet bed, and it comes with a cover that prevents contact with the surface that may be too warm. Deductions for small size, round shape and price. Kitty likes it, so I guess its a positive, overall. Really Works     On: 2008-11-20 I was skeptical so I only bought one the first time. After going through one winter I am now a believer! These things really work and they are safe. Temperatures here during blizzards can be bone chilling and the SnuggleSafe keeps my cats warm in their dog house all night. And I can sleep knowing my barn isnt going to burn down. I am buying 2 more, one for my other cat and one that I can heat in the morning for their use during the day. Excellent pet warmer up     On: 2008-11-04 the SnuggleSafe heat pad provides consistent warmth for well over 14-15 hours. your pet will feel safe secure and always warm with its SnuggleSafe tucked into its bed! Toasty for a Cold Cat!     On: 2008-10-30 I had a cold cat that wanted the furnace on, but instead I throw this in the microwave and the cat is warm and happy. It works great. Perfect to keep an ill Sugar Glider warm!     On: 2008-09-19 I wasnt expecting to get this so fast! It came in a couple of days and just in time:) When a Sugar Glider is ill, they dont hold their body temperature well, this is PERFECT! Thank you! Comes with fleece cover - great heatpad!     On: 2008-09-12 Our adopted kitty loves this heatpad! We place it under the removable cusion in her cat bed, and it stays warm for a full 12 hours. Theres a helpful sticker on the middle of the heatpad that outlines the microwave times for different wattages. We have a 1000-watt microwave and heat the pad up for 6 minutes. Then we let it sit there for one more minute (the directions say to do this) before picking it up and placing it in the cat bed. When received the heatpad in the mail, I was suprised because it was so different from how I thought it would be -- but not in a bad way! - Its made of thick, inflexible plastic (I thought it would be soft and rubbery, but I guess the hard plastic makes it "bite resistant"). - Its slightly smaller than a standard frisbee (I thought it would be about the size of a CD -- pleasant surprise! More surface area for warmth). - Its about as heavy as 200-page paperback cookbook. - It comes with a fleece velcro cover (ours is tan with a black paw print design). I would recommend this heatpad to anyone looking for an alternative to the electric kind! DOG HATES IT     On: 2008-08-12 Our dog wont sleep on it. I think hes a princess. He chewed it for a while, then slept as far away as he could from it and still be on his bedding. I will try again this winter, and bury it deeper into the bedding, but hes either afraid of it or doesnt like its hard, frisbee like surface. And I covered it well, but will put more layers on top. he is very finicky in all circumstances, little hair and very bony. maybe a fatter dog would like it, but then that one would be warm enough. Id return it except its chewed on! snuggle safe     On: 2008-08-08 This item worked very well when trying to keep animals warm, without having to plug it in, its safer then a heating pad. A God send     On: 2008-08-05 Having worked in animal rescue for many years, I cannot say enough about this product. Unlike a conventional heating pad, there is no danger of electrical problems. I have used this product for my elderly cats as well as bottle babies - it is easy to use and easy to clean. It is helpful when one of my babies doesnt feel 100% - sort of like cuddling up to Mom.And rotten person that I am, it also makes an excellent foot warmer for me. Super Eco Animal Friend     On: 2008-07-15 Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3ED47OD4Q5TWB This is the use I found amazing for this pad, an overnight warmer for my chick brooder, these are RI Red chicks in the morning having gone the night with just the heat pad from 11pm until 5am when a light comes on. It provides 120F degrees for 8 hours approximately. NOTE: this works for temps above 60 degrees at night, I wouldnt recommend using it by itself otherwise, I add a light bulb if it gets colder. The ecofriendly part is that the whole thing is recyclable, made in the UK (so you might have to send it back there for recycling). GREAT for Foster Kitties     On: 2008-07-15 I did my first fostering of 5 kittens (still have 4 of them). I kept them on a soft bed with lots of little blankies, but didnt at the time know about "chilling" and the runt-baby boy I had named Bravehart passed away (God rest his tender soul) after taking him to emergency from "chilling". Was heartbroken. I searched on CalVetSuppy .com where I get a lot of my cat meds, etc., and found the Snugglesafe and bought 2. It has made ALL the difference in the world for these remaining 4 kitties, they love it at night. If you put enough cushioning blankets over the Snugglesafe, the heat warms the blankets and really does stay warm all night. Its totally perfect! Since my mom is adopting 2 of my foster kitties, I gave her one of them to be sure they always have a warm place. Im going to buy another one so Ill always have 2 since you cant warm them up again until they are completely cold and Id like to have one there day and night. I HIGHLY recommend this product. Follow the instructions, like the other person said, about how long to heat it pursuant to what your microwaves wattage is. That way it wont deform and the gel come out. You kitty fosters out there, I so highly recommend this for the baby-baby kittens!! Spoiled Barn Cat loves this     On: 2008-06-20 I had a cat move into my barn on a cold December day - well he stayed out since my indoor cat has no love for other felines. So I felt a need to baby the barn boy during the cold winter. I got two of these (one used on eBay) and would rotate them morning and evening. If he stayed in his bed this still retained some heat after 12 hours. Was great for the barn since I dont like too many electric products due to the chance of fire. Love this!     On: 2008-06-18 Our dachshund was extremely ill and had to be hospitalized. While there, the vet used one of these to help keep him warm. Hes kind of a cold natured dog anyway, so when he was released, we looked for one for home. After looking at our local pet superstore to no avail, I searched on Amazon and there it was! The dog is happy and mom and dad are happy too. We will use this often, especially in chilly weather to keep Frankie toasty. Wonderful product that does everything it says it does     On: 2008-06-04 We used this to keep puppys warm on the way to and from the vet, and for a not feeling too good mom. It is a wonderful product that does everything it says it does. Stays warm for hours. Thiniking about using it myself for cold winter feet! Best Kitty Warmer Ever!     On: 2008-05-21 The Snuggle Safe heat pad is a wonderful portable source of warmth for any small animals you may have. Ive used this item for years - ever since a friend suggested it to me as a replacement for a heating pad. It heats quickly in any microwave. In the past, Ive always wrapped the warmer in something to shield my pet from the heated surface. The Snugglesafe now comes with a soft cover. With the cover its easy to place it in your pets bedding. Ive recommended this warmer to a lot of people. We own four of them for all the places a kitty might like to curl up. Snuggle     On: 2008-05-15 Works very well with Kittens and Puppies, but also Humans as a calming, constant source of heat. Highly recommend! Kitty Nirvana!     On: 2008-05-12 I bounght the SnuggleSafe for my 21-year old cat who is a warmth junkie. I hesitate to leave electric heating pads turned on when Im not at home, so my kitty had to go "cold" turkey whenever I left the house. The SnuggleSafe really does stay warm for 10-12 hours! I dont use the cover that came with it (its thin and not soft enough). Instead I place the SnuggleSafe underneath a couple of layers of microfiber blankets. Kitty is happy and contented for hours and I can leave home without a guilty conscience. Perfect for older or arthritic cats. I highly recommend it. Awesome for small kittens     On: 2008-04-27 I work in cat / kitten rescue and use this when we have orphaned kittens come in (or when we have a sick kitty). It works great - you dont have to worry about cords, it stays warm for quite a while and is portable. Id highly recommend it ! This is GREAT, for ME as well as my pets!     On: 2008-04-25 This a nice safe alternative to falling asleep with an electric blanket, and it really does stay warm for hours. Wonderful as a people bedwarmer, and to place anywhere you get cold, your feet for instance. Looks like Ill have to get another for my pets! great product!     On: 2008-04-25 I was concerned about some of the reviews about this not staying warm long, but my experience with it has been great! I bought this for my cat who is underweight to help him stay warm. I put it on top of a blanket, then on top of the SnuggleSafe I use a Purr Pad (the original, not satin). I think the Purr pad helps retain the heat longer as well as add some cushioning. (The SnuggleSafe is quite hard.) Ive been sure to follow the directions about heating time and not reheating until completely cool. Maybe thats part of the reason for the success Ive had? The SnuggleSafe has stayed warm to the touch for me 12+hr. Ive been using it daily for about 3 weeks. Best product I've found     On: 2008-04-12 My dog LOVES this little disk warmer. She is naturally attracted to heat, so I thought Id give it a try. I just put it in the microwave for 5 minutes and then put it under a blanket, and she curls up on top of the blanket. It also feels great when I have sore muscles....I wish they had a human version of this. Highly recommended for animals who like lots of warmth! Not so good...     On: 2008-04-06 I read other reviews about this product and I decided to buy two for my "adopted outside" kitties. I put the product in the microwave as directed and it did not heat up that much - it was barely warm. I was nervous about microwaving it for a longer period of time because of the warnings on the label. A couple of the cats did lay on it, but others did not. I think this is a good idea, but poor execution. easy to use     On: 2008-03-29 I bought the Snugglesafe Heatpad after another brand I used & liked leaked. This product does not stay warm as long as it claims, but for the most part it is a good heatpad. It is definitely easy to use. Six minutes in (my) microwave and its ready to go. It would be nice if it were flexible so it would conform to the pets bed. It is a bit hard but if it is under too many covers to "soften" it, it does not radiate as well. It came with a cover which I did not know, but I took the "offer" to purchase the heatpad with a (separate) cover, so now I have two covers. Hope the heatpad lasts long enough to need two covers! I used mine in a covered shed, so I doubt it would keep a pet warm all night if outside. Stays warm for hours     On: 2008-03-04 This is a great product that can literally stay warm all night. My indoor cats love it, but I found out about it from friends who do animal rescue and feral cat T&R. They use them while feral cats are being acclimated to a new location during the colder months; the cats are in a "hutch", or large cage, while they get used to their surroundings and are given these disks for warmth. Be careful to make sure you follow the directions, overheating the gel will cause the outer plastic casing to bubble up and then youll have to throw it away. I only wish it was wider and flatter to be able to put under a blanket more easily- the disk is smaller than an animal so theyre laying on a lump in the blanket. Still, my cats do not seem to mind and its kind of funny to watch them all try to pile up on one disk while another is heating up. Keeps my puppy cosy     On: 2008-03-03 This product worked wonderfully with my new puppy. It heats up and I place it under his bedding and it is still nice and warm 10 hours later in the morning. If anything it is a little hard and makes his bed a little lumpy - but it doesntt bother him. I take it out in the morning because he would love to chew on it and that would not be good. Dont buy a cover because it comes with one in the packaging. Great product for winter car rides     On: 2008-02-27 I got this to keep my dog warm in his kennel on winter car rides. The hardness of the plastic makes it seem uncomfortable to lay on so I rest it against the side of his kennel. Charlie will snuggle up to it to keep warm when hes in there. He really seems to like it. It does stay warm for quite a while. It was in the car for several hours on a very cold day (less than 10 degrees) and it was still warm when we came back to it. It comes with a fleece cover so no need to by one. Great for dogs     On: 2008-02-25 I purchased a SnuggleSafe for use in my outdoor dogs dog house. She has a pad and a sleeping bag in the house, but some nights get pretty chilly here in Tennessee. I was so pleased with the first SnuggleSafe I bought another. They retain their heat for up to 16 hours (I have found one stays hotter longer, but both stay quite warm from dusk till dawn). Theyre easy to use, and if you tuck them under the animals blanket or comforter, youll find the hardness of the SnuggleSafe shouldnt interfere with the animals comfort. My dog Lady Bug (a Southern Cur, about 65 pounds) loves them and I feel comfortable knowing she has an extra source of safe warmth. I dont think Id recommend this product for use with puppies as they have a tendency to chew anything, and the SnuggleSafe IS made of plastic. But for an adult dog, an outdoor dog or an animal who needs extra warmth to soothe old joints, I highly recommend this product. Heats in the microwave in about 5 minutes, is easy to clean and store. too hard     On: 2008-02-24 Our cat sleeps in the basement and the nights had gotten pretty cold, so I ordered this item, not realizing it was made of hard plastic. Somehow I had envisioned something more along the lines of a hot-water bottle. It stays warm alright, but Im going to switch to an electric heating pad for my aging cats comfort. LOVE IT!!!!     On: 2008-02-24 This product is so great. I thought it would take awhile for my cat to figure it out but as soon as I took it out of the microwave she followed me into the other room, jumped up, sniffed it and then settled right down. She hasnt moved since. Definitely worth the price! And dont buy the extra fleece cover, it comes with a cute tan one with paw prints on it. Work great!     On: 2008-02-23 This works very well. The only problem is that it cannot be reheated until it is completely cold, otherwise it is excellent, not too hot, and it does maintain its heat for 10 to 12 hours. I take my dog,(a 3 lb chihuahua) almost everywhere,I used to hate to drag her out in the frigid weather, but with a SnuggleSafe in her carrier, I no longer worry that shes cold. Sometimes I even steal it from her and put my feet on it to warm them up. Would be great for diabetics, who are sensitive to heat, these dont get dangerously hot... my dog's best friend     On: 2008-02-22 This is a great way to keep your pet warm in the house or in the car! When heated properly it stays warm for at least 12 hours. If you get the fleece cover it gently releases its heat without danger to your animal. It also doubles as a bed warmer for people beds as well. Snugglesafe Heatpad     On: 2008-02-14 Excellent product for animals who are outside some during winter months. Heats up in 5 minutes and lasts up to 12 hours. Received product quickly and in excellent condition. Exactly as advertised!     On: 2008-02-14 Bought this for our outside pet rabbit for very cold Wisconsin winter days. It stays warm, even outside, as advertised. Easy to use and durable. Snuggle safe     On: 2008-02-11 The Snuggle Safe is easy to use and a life saver during these very cold nights weve had. My puppy hasnt even tried to chew on it and he seems to enjoy the heat through his pillow. It stays warm through the night. It is a better than expected product! Didn't work for us     On: 2008-02-05 I bought this and, not knowing the wattage of our microwave, slowly ramped up the heating time once a day to try out this disk, see how warm it got, and how long it stayed warm. After a few trials, the disk definitely got as warm (123 degrees) as advertised, but it absolutely did not stay warm for the 12 hours it promised. It has also gotten kind of warp-y, after just 3 uses :( Have to admit, at first I thought this was a dumb product...     On: 2008-01-29 but I decided to buy it for my short haired chihuahua since it gets cold at night. I put in the microwave and covered with the doggy fleece wrap that it comes with. My dog knew right away it was for him (hes spoiled), anyway he layed on it. Stayed there all night and would growl at me if I move him. LOL. Worth it. SPECIAL NOTE**...No need to buy the additional light blue cover shown above since this already comes with one in tan color. snugglesafe heatpad     On: 2008-01-21 I bought this item for my Lab as she has elbow dysplasia and I didnt want to worry about electrical wires or over heating. It does keep the heat like it reports..the fleece cover is important as the disc gets quite hot. The only down side is that the disc is very hard; if it was a gel like item it would cushion her elbows better. She will only lay on it for a couple of minutes which defeats the purpose. We may use it for a fanny warmer at the football games but as for fido, its not exactly what we needed...lesson learned. Snugglesafe Pet Heatpad     On: 2008-01-18 My Jack Russell likes to go places with me in the car, but I worried about him getting cold during Vermont winters ... in Googling for something that would provide heat but not involve electricity, I happened upon the Snugglesafe ... it has been very successful ... it stays nice and warm for at least four hours ... I slip it under the pillow cover in his car crate and he settles right in with it ... has not bothered it at all and appears to appreciate it ... I would highly recommend this product. Bunnie Bun Warmer     On: 2008-01-18 Im extremely happy with the snuggle safe pet Heatpad. I keep my rabbits outside in a sturdy hutch and was concerned that on cold New England nights that they would be uncomfortable. I insulated their roof with hay and a tarp, lined the inside with hay, and gave them a plexiglass window so they can still get daylight, all this would probably be enough, but when I saw the Snuggle Safe Ad, I knew I had to get one. Its just an added bonus, and I feel Ive done my best at keeping them warm. Its easy to use and works great. Forget about the dogs..... this is MINE!     On: 2008-01-09 I bought this because one of my flyball teammates has one.... and I thought it would be good to have on hand for my little Sheltie. However, I use it more than he does! They stay warm for ages, and you dont have to mess around with water as with a hot water bottle. On a cold, winter night, just heat it in the microwave, put it in its little jacket (included), and tuck it into the foot-end of your bed..... nice toasty feet! And it was still warm when I woke up the next morning!! Im so glad I bought this, and highly recommend it! (NOTE: you could certainly use it on sore muscles, etc... but it is a hard plastic casing, not flexible.) great way to keep the dog warm     On: 2008-01-08 for a not too ridiculous price of $25 i purchased this product. great in almost every way. you heat the pad in the microwave according to the directions printed on one side of the pad. it comes with a thin fleece cover which can then be wrapped with a thin blanket and placed in the dogs crate. it really does stay heated for 12 hours after microwaving. it is not too hot for the dog but every now and then she starts chewing on the fleece because she likes the sound of velcro. our puppy is always warm in cold places. i give this product 5 stars and recommend it to everyone who has a puppy. My cat loves this     On: 2008-01-05 I have 2 stray cats I adopted when i moved into my house. They sleep in the garage so I felt so bad for them on chilly nights. I tried this today and was worried about the hardness but my mama cat loves this! Her son doesnt care for it so much but pampering the mama makes me happy! I am going to get another one for the boy cat Little Miracle Disc     On: 2008-01-02 I ordered this for my new puppy on the suggestion of a friend to help with crate training, and I have to say, this has been our holy grail for the crate. Our puppy preferred sleeping with us and our body heat and completely flipped out when crated in the evenings. Due to my husbands allergies, permanently sleeping with the dog is not an option and we were at our wits end and feeling very bad for not making our puppy happy. We received the Snuggle Safe and put it to use that night, and it was a godsend. Not only was our puppy much happier to lay in his crate, he also slept through the night for the first time since bringing him home, and now gets excited when he sees the Snuggle Safe come out for the night. It works just like it says!     On: 2007-12-31 My dog had puppies and they are large outside dogs. I put them in the barn with a heat lamp but it wasnt enough. The puppies lay on the snuggle safe all night. It does stay warm for 12 hours so i only have to heat it twice a day. I want one! work fine, but not great     On: 2007-12-30 its less than 12 hour, and My cat does not like this. my cable TV adapter is warmer than this one so my cat sleeps on the cable TV adapter. when I heat this up only two hour, he sleeps on this one,. after that he stay cable TV adapter work fine, but not great     On: 2007-12-29 its less than 12 hour, and My cat does not like this. my cable TV adapter is warmer than this one so my cat sleeps on the cable TV adapter. when I heat this up only two hour, he sleeps on this one,. after that he stay cable TV adapter SnuggleSafe Heatpad     On: 2007-12-28 Kitty loves the heated disk. Comes with a protective cover that is nice. Heat it up for 6 minutes and it will stay warm for approx. 9 hours. Snuggle Heat Pad     On: 2007-12-28 This is a heat retention pod. It is not soft and comfortable, but is a somewhat rigid gel that retains heat for 8-10 hours. You use it under a blanket or pad. This is my second. I use the Snuggle pad for trips to the Vet in winter, as a heat source for sick pets, and occasionally to warm the small of my back. It is great for long car trips or for elderly animals who chill. I use it for cats and a small dog. Just heat it for 3 - 5 minutes in the microwave, put it on the sofa, and chances are that someone will be curled up on it soon. A safe heat source for riding in RVs too. My dog loves it!     On: 2007-12-28 My little French bulldog was shivering in his crate every morning because the kitchen floors are so cold. We heat this thing up and stick it in his bed at night and now he is a happy little guy. It is still warm when I get him out around 8 AM and he usually goes to bed around 10-11 PM. Very good investment! Great for feral cats     On: 2007-12-23 I have purchased similar items in the past that have punctured and were no good after 2 weeks of use. These have been great-I microwave them at night, sandwich them between the cat bed and pillow in a protected structure. Great for cold nights. So far they are sturdy and much cleaner and easier to use. Stays Warm for a Long Time     On: 2007-12-22 The SnuggleSafe heatpad only takes 4 minutes to warm up in the microwave and really stays warm for 12 hours. A good investment! Real Nice Heat Supply     On: 2007-12-21 I bought two of these heatpads for a couple of feral cats that I am caretaking for. They live in a outdoor windproof woodshed, snuggled inside two wooden boxes with blankets. They can come & go as they please, with cat doors located on the shed walls. We live in NE Pa. and it gets cold up here. I didnt want to use anything electric to generate heat for them, fearful of something going wrong, so I decided on these heatpads. It was the best move I made in a long time. They work great, and I get a good 9 or 10 hours heat out of them before they need to go back into the microwave. They are worth every dime I spent, and I recommend them highly. Keeping Warm In The Winter!!!!!     On: 2007-12-21 I love this product. I care for a homeless cat and as winter was approaching I needed to find the BEST way to keep him warm. I purchased a little dog house. I insulated the bottom and sides of the house with Styrofoam. On top of the Styrofoam I placed a quite time pet bed. I heat the SNUGGLESAFE for the appropriate time and slip it under the bed. Its been quite cold here. Many nights have gone below freezing. It stays warm for OVER 12 hours. Ive made a homeless cat a VERY HAPPY CAT!!!! PS.. because I love this product so much I have purchased a few more snugglesafe pads... in the event one fails, I have back-ups. dissatisfied customer     On: 2007-12-19 This product is awesome. It is so good I bought many of them for gifts. Not only do my two dogs love them but so does everyone else who comes to my home. So I bought them as gifts...you will love this item in the cold months. HOWEVER...THE COMPANY (ENTIRELY PETS) IS NOT A GOOD COMPANY TO WORK WITH!!! SAVE YOURSELF SOME TROUBLE, BUY THIS PRODUCT THROUGH SOMEONE ELSE. I WOULD NOT RECOMEND THE COMPANY (ENTIRELY PETS) TO ANYONE. They told me something on the phone but dit not keep to their word. They were not accomodating after a mistake was on their part (TWICE). I ordered something with a delivery date promised but they changed the date and never told me. These were gifts. The product is great but the company (ENTIRELY PETS IS HORRIBLE TO WORK WITH!) Great Product     On: 2007-12-17 I love these heatpads. I have 2 of them. I have had a lot of stray cats that spend the winter in my garage. I heat these up and put them under a blanket for them and they are nice and warm for the night.

Ive placed it under a blanket, she doesnt want it. Ive placed it in her beloved kitty condo, she didnt want it. I even placed it under the thick cushion of her rather large & also beloved pet bed, she slept at the other end. I am now looking at a self-warming mat to try out on her. Im hoping the flat structure & soft cover will appeal to her. 1 flaw     On: 2007-12-13 I bought this disk a few years back to help keep my kitty warm during the cold winter months. it preforms perfectly, storing heat for hours after warming... unfortunatly, its hard and my cat doesnt like sleeping on it.

I thought of using a heating pad but wanted to avoid combining 120 volts of electricity with sharp cat claws. Hot water bottles seemed a bit of a hassle and you just know that someday a water bottle with holes and a water puddle will be waiting for you to clean up. This heating gizmo (technical term) has the shape of a frizbee. Thick plasic/rubber material surrounds some sort of high-tech gel that absorbs heat when you microwave it. And the amazing thing is that the heat is SLOWLY released over a 12 hour period. Never too hot to burn or be uncomfortable, but snuggly warm. A fuzzy cover is provided with the gizmo and you can heat both together with no problems. So now I zap the gizmo for 5 minutes in the microwave and place it in the cat bed at night. The bed becomes a warm cat nirvana during cool evenings. This is followed by happy cat faces and much purring. Highly recommended! Safe Way to Keep Cats, Rabbits, Elderly Pets Warm     On: 2007-12-10 I bought three of these wonderful heatpads to keep my cats and rabbits warm in winter. I have been using them every day since they arrived and my pets love them. Even though all my pets are indoors, they are always seeking warmth, and these heatpads seem to be working quite well. My 19-year-old cat is especially fond of them and purrs loudly as soon as I put it under his blanket. It is important that you check the wattage on your microwave in order to heat the pads for the correct amount of time. I highly recommend this product.

Stays warm, but beware that cats might be picky about sitting on it     On: 2007-12-07 I bought this item for the ex-feral cat we adopted when we bought our house (ie, she came with the house). She has a bench with a cushion and cat bed and a cat house lined with towels, but on frigid nights I wanted some sort of heat source for her. I thought this would be awesome, since I have no way to plug in a heated pet bed for her (not that I would outdoors anyway). It warms up just like its supposed to, and keeps the heat decently well (though not 12 hours, more like 7-8), but since its hard as a rock the cat wont sit on it. I put it under her bed even and she will curl up on the brick porch or hide in her cat house to avoid it. I finally gave up and let her curl up in her unheated bed in peace. So this could be a good item, especially for a pet with arthritis, but if your cat is indoor I suggest a softer and more inviting product. quick shipping!     On: 2007-12-07 Im not sure how my cat Remi will like it, but I was impressed with how fast it was shipped and the quality of the heatpad and the additional separate cover I bought with it. Thanks!:) Many uses for the Snuggle Safe!     On: 2007-12-07 I first ran into this item at a veterinary clinic I worked at. They used these microwavable heat disks when any animal was ill or had had surgery and needed some extra warmth in its space. I started noticing that if the air was chill or someone was not feeling totally up to par, that they too would cradle a Snuggle-Safe next to them. I bought one for home and my teen-agers, ten year old and 19 year old Siamese cat all fight for it, so I need to get some more! It can also be used as a foot-warmer for a cold bed. Many uses for the Snuggle-Safe! One cat loves it, one cat doesn't....     On: 2007-12-02 I purchased two of these pads. I usually heat them up around 10:30 p.m., and theyre still noticably warm at 7:30 a.m. If only they were not so hard, it would be the perfect solution to a chilly house. One cat doesnt seem to mind and will lay on it all night if I cushion it a bit with a fleece blanket, while our other cat seems seems to prefer softness to warmness and will lay directly next to it, but not on it. They did come with little fleece covers. Overall, Im pleased with this product. Cats aren't a fan     On: 2007-12-01 The product holds it heaat for a very long time, which is good, but its extremely hard -- so hard, in fact, that the cats dont like sitting on it. Weve had to put enough cushioning on top of it that most of its heat is lost before the cats can benefit. Fabulous!     On: 2007-11-25 This is a great product. Ours came with the fleece cover, which it took our cat about 3 nights to rip apart at the seams. So definitely dont pay extra for the cover. Our snuggle safe doesnt actually stay warm for 12 hours--more like 8, which is still great. We also have a thermal pad for our cat, and we put the snuggle safe under it at night. This actually keeps the snuggle safe warm for 12+ hours. good for cat     On: 2007-11-21 I wish the cat could tell me if he likes it, it gets warm, but am not sure it lasts all night. Outstanding product!     On: 2007-11-18 This is the best pet heating pad Ive ever used. As a veterinary technician, I learned about and used this product to care for ill or recovering surgery patients. It far outstrips electric heaters (burn hazard, fire hazard, pesky cords) and buckwheat bags (dont retain heat.) When used according to its enclosed instructions, the pad stays warm for a LEAST 12 hours at "room temperature" and will stay warm at under 30 degrees outside for 6-8 hours if placed between blanket layers. They are completely comfy for pets if placed under a blanket or two, and still keep the animals toasty-warm. I used these "frisbee heaters" in my outdoor dogs beds last winter, at temperatures sometimes under 20 degrees F, and they stayed warm all night when I heated them properly and used blankets around them. Be VERY CAREFUL not to over-microwave this product, as this may cause it to leak, and the gel is VERY hot. OMG - A must buy!!     On: 2007-11-18 This little heatable disc saved my sleep!! It comes with a nice fleece cover that you can stick in the microwave right along with it and it really does stay warm for many hours, obviously its LESS warm at the eighth hour, but it still warmer than room temp. We had a one pound chihuahua that was seriously missing his siblings and Mom and this made it so he got through the transition to his crate. SO worth the money....and we live in New England so it will be used all winter long, long after hes outgrown Puppyhood!! Should note that the name...SNUGGLE leads you to believe that its squishy....its NOT....its very hard plastic, but I usually place it under some blankets and it warms them up nicely. That was the only surprise I had when I opened it. microwave pet heat dsk     On: 2007-11-17 This product is very good for pets that might get cold at night. The disk stays warm for a very long time, but not too warm. Just right and safe for a cat or dog. I feel much better about using this than some mat with a plug in wall wart attached to it. A good alternative     On: 2007-11-17 I bought the snuggle safe disc for my hedgehog to keep her from getting cold. We were using an electric heating mat, but there are setbacks using electricity. I really like the simplicity of the snugglesafe. Pop it in the microwave for a couple of minutes and flip over for a couple more. The cover is quality material and the velcro is nice. The price is right. My only complaint with the product is it only seems to stay warm for 6-8 hrs. vs. the 12 it says. This could be due to operator error. The directions are per microwave wattage and I dont know what ours is but you cant over heat the disc, so possibly I underheat it. The hedgehog has not however gone into hibernation so all is good. Reliable     On: 2007-11-08 I bought this for my hedgehog; its easy to use and works as it should, though Gogol doesnt seem interested in being on it. It comes with a cover, too. Wouldn't be without this!     On: 2007-11-07 This winter marks year 3 of SnuggleSafe use for my outdoor cat, so I am ordering a replacement as recommended, to be sure there are no cold nights if/when the old one fails. He loves it. I heat it for the time recommended, wrap it in a fairly thin towel, and put it atop his other bedding in his outdoor box. The first winter, I checked it several times at various hours and at differing outdoor temps. It definitely provided more heat than would have been had otherwise, and was warm at the 12-hour mark. I dont imagine, though, that any product other than an electrical heating pad could possibly retain heat for any period without being insulated (the towel, surrounding bedding, inside a box). Highly recommended. Heat doesnt last!     On: 2007-11-05 i was so excited to buy this product and i had heard so many people that had good things to say about it, but i was very disappointed. The pad was not comfortable for my dog to lay on, but most importantly, the heat didnt last! After about 2 hours, it would be cold again. I would not recommend this product...you are much better getting one of those foil warming inserts for pet beds. Great for humans too!     On: 2007-09-25 Got my first Snuggle Safe almost ten years ago. As soon as I tried it out, I bought them for friends and family. We use it as a foot warmer in bed- slip it between the covers before you get in, and it stays warm all night. Pop one in the microwave and take it in the car on cold mornings. Keeps hands warm too! Also nice to hand anyone whos chilly when the room is warm enough to others. I absolutely recommend the Snuggle Safe for anyone whose hands and feet get cold. Never had any problem with leaking when used as directed...lasts for YEARS, and five minutes in the microwave for 8-12 hours of warmth is Very energy saving. P.S. I let my kitty use it too! Snuggle Safe     On: 2007-08-24 Great product -- very nice -- have already used it for my kitten, to help it keep warm when it cools down at night. Very satisfied. Maybe the best $20 I have ever spent     On: 2007-07-11 We have 2 Chihuahuas and both of them love their SnuggleSafe more than even food. When we take these out at night before bed, just the sight of them makes the dogs sprint for their bed and shiver with excitement. Once the beds are down, the dogs sleep like logs. Also great for road trips, camping (heat one before you hit the trail, still warm that night), etc. Much safer than having a heating blanket run all night. My parents were so impressed they bought 4 for their labs! Great for cool days     On: 2007-07-03 I bought this so my older cat could enjoy being out on our enclosed but not heated porch on cooler days. After heated it will maintain its heat for a few hours, but Ive never seen it keep its heat for anything near 12 hours. It loses it gradually, though. I always put it under a thin pet pillow or towels. It is HARD. My guess is that the pets would like the feel of it much better if it were flexible, but maybe theyd also be able to bite into it and access some sort of internal gel if it were soft, so maybe its a safety issue that its rigid. It appears to come with a thin cover now. When I bought it it was just the plastic disk itself. Elderly pet warmer     On: 2007-06-13 This is a GREAT item. My cat is 22 years old and spends a lot of her time laying on her warmer. I can zap it and dont have to worry about anything catching fire or her getting too hot. I believe it has helped her have a sprightly old age. Snuggle Safe     On: 2007-05-20 I bought this product to put in the bed with my new puppy to keep him warm. When it got to us it was completely different than what I thought. It was a hard, round disk covered by a thin blanket. I thought it would be softer so my puppy would want to sleep on it. I would suggest making the shape different so that the puppy can cuddle up next to it, if it has to be hard. I do have to say that as for heating up, it would stay warm for hours. Wish I could find something else I could use it for. Great Product for travel or even at home     On: 2007-04-16 Received this as a gift after I put it in my wish list. Used it to comfort cat when her soul mate of five years passed away as a result of (suspected) Menu Food poisoning in December. So easy to use. Just heat it up in microwave and it can stay warm for up to six hours or more, depending how you use it. I put it under a blanket as it is too hot for the cats to sit on it with out some heat dispersion. I also have a small cloth cat nip bag that I put in the cloth cover and the heat warms the cat nip and the cats really seem to dig it. I used it when I brought a new cat home from Las Vegas to San Diego, a 5 hour drive and I think that the warmth of the heater that I put under the pet carrier put the little cat to sleep. Very well made, sturdy and excellent instructions. Great Product for travel or even at home     On: 2007-04-15 Received this as a gift after I put it in my wish list.

A hedgehog neccessity!     On: 2007-03-28 Knuckles loves his heated bed, and it is required to keep his temps 70+ in the winter very happy     On: 2007-03-19 works very well. used for outside cat house in phila. pa. all winter. the cat and I are very pleased! very happy     On: 2007-03-18 works very well. used for outside cat house in phila. pa. all winter. the cat and I are very pleased! Snuggle Safe Disc     On: 2007-03-10 Heats up in the microwave in about 10 minutes. Depending on the outside temperature - stays warm up to 8 hours. Comes w/ removable fleece cove that can be thrown in the washer. Much safer and more effective then heating pads/blankets, etc. Definitely would recommend! Not great for my cat, but good for me     On: 2007-02-20 I bought two of these to give some warmth to my cat on cold days. My cat wont go near them. If I put one of them down near my cat, my cat runs away. On the other hand, I have found them to be great in *my* bed on cold winter nights. Heating them at the maximum as warned on the label provides a good steady warmth; I could have wished it a bit warmer. As others have noticed, if the item is put outside in cold weather, it certainly does not maintain its temperature for very long. The claim of twelve hours doesnt even hold if the item is put in my warm bed all night. So they are fine to heat up a cold bed, but perhaps not great to provide emergency heat to animals outside. Last note: I overlooked the warning on the insert by accident and heated two of them in the microwave at the same time. (In a low power microwave, it takes eight minutes to heat one, so heating two of them would be a project). As a consequence, one of them melted and the inside stuff came out. I would have wished these a bit more durable -- at the maximum heat they are give off a nice warmth, but that is all; if you exceed this, they self-destruct. Heating pad is wonderful for dogs and people.     On: 2007-02-20 I use it for my small dog - a chihuahua mix - inside her bed at bedtime. It stays warm for around 10 hours under the covers and she really seems to like it. Its also great to warm your bed up too. :) great product     On: 2007-02-18 my three dogs come running ready for bed when they see me with their snuggle safe Less than 12 hours     On: 2007-02-14 I purchased the product for a feral cat. Currently the temperatures have been below 32F. The pads are hard as a rock even after heating. I inserted them into a pillow type cushion which is sealed with velcro, then inside the shelter and I can say that the heating pads do not last 12 hours. The most under 32F have been 5 hours, but it definitely provides some heat and its better than nothing. If you have an electrical outlet, I recommend the K&H heating pads. I use them for my inside dogs and if I had an outlet outside would definitely use it for the cat. Less than 12 hours     On: 2007-02-13 I purchased the product for a feral cat.

I originally bought it for my elderly cat, but since she died, Ive used it for myself. It only takes a few minutes to heat in the microwave and it keeps me warm when I sit and read, and I use it like a hot water bottle to warm the bed. Our heater stopped working this year and I just bought 3 more for my husband and I to use while it is being fixed. LOVE IT     On: 2007-01-29 A great item to have when breeding... its a great secondary heat source in the whelping box as well as handy when you have to transport a pup to the vet. I highly recommend! A safe way to keep your pet warm overnight     On: 2007-01-28 This product is a hard plastic disk, about the size of a small frisbee. You put it into the microwave, and warm it for the required amount of time. It stays warm for 12 hours and keeps your pet warm. The hard plastic disk gets slipped inside of a velour cover, both to provide a bit of softness and to keep the animal from direct contact with the disk, which does get too hot to touch comfortably for long periods of time. I got this for my cat, who just had surgery and was confined to a kennel, so she could no longer go to her favorite Warm Spot (under the covers, with me providing auxiliary heating). I slipped the Snuggle Safe into her kennel, on top of her bedding, where it kept her warm all night long. Unlike other posters here, I had no problems with her ignoring or avoiding the Snuggle Safe. Because the Snuggle Safe doesnt have any wires or electric current running through it, I felt safe leaving it in her kennel while I slept - even though she has a habit of chewing or destroying her bedding. The hard plastic of the Snuggle Safe, which possibly uncomfortable, is also pretty much indestructable - a bit bonus if youre worried about safety. - Answers pet needs     On: 2007-01-17 Great! So glad I found this item for my elderly toy pom. He loves it. Warm but not soft     On: 2007-01-12 I bought this for my parents older chihuahua, who loves to snuggle up to the central air vent for warmth. The warmth is great and continuous - but the disc is really hard (probably a safety design) - I had to put it under a pillow or wrap in blankets - at which point the warmth was weak and took a long time to make it through to the poor pup. A softer casing would improve the product a great deal. Warm but not soft     On: 2007-01-11 I bought this for my parents older chihuahua, who loves to snuggle up to the central air vent for warmth.

One or two will come in on a cold night, but the others are on the ferral side and are very resistant even though its bitter outside. I heat up this disc and place it in their cat house which I have filled with wheat straw. This in combination with a partial vinyl door that is attached (they wont go in there if I put the other half of the door on) provides them great relief from the winter elements and gives me comfort to know I wont find frozen cat statues in the morning! I first heard about this product on [...]. Highly recommended!! snuggle safe     On: 2007-01-10 This product worked just fine, however it is a very hard disc - not exactly cozy. And, like most things Ive bought for them, my cats wanted nothing to do with it. Not quite as snuggly as imagined by: Anonymous    On: 2007-01-09 While I was excited about this, my cat doesnt seem so excited. It doesnt seem to create the kind of warmth I imagined, and if you put it under a blanket in the cat box, it doesnt really warm up the blanket. My cat seems to spend less time sleeping in the box than when there was just a towel in there. However, my friends cat LOVES its Snuggle Safe, and Im glad that there is something I can provide when my cat refuses to come inside in cold weather, even if he doesnt seem to "use" it much. A wonderful product for pets     On: 2007-01-09 This was my second Snuggle Safe, and I love it. You put it in the microwave and it heats up to a safe but warm level and you put it in your pets bed. The heat lasts for hours. There are no cords or worry about going off and leaving it unattended. Its about the size of a frisbee and about a 1/2 inch thick. If you want to have a warm pet, please do both of you a favor and buy this product. There is nothing like it out there and the price is excellent for what you get. Warm, happy kitty!     On: 2007-01-03 What a great invention! My one cat whos on the cold-bodied side absolutely loves and uses the product everyday. I heat 2 discs every morning and they hold heat for over 12 hours depending on where I put them. Would be great if the discs were soft. Am every pleased I found the product and Im happy my cat is comfortable and enjoys the warmth. My cats love it!!!     On: 2006-12-09 It stays warm for more than 8 hours, but I have not tested it for 12 hours. I have cornish rex cats with very little fur and they sleep on these and stay warm. I also use them for catsthat live outside . I have a little dog (maltese) and she sleeps on it sometimes. Mainly, I think it is great for cats, though. SnuggleMEsafe     On: 2006-12-08 I LOVE the snugglesafe!! I bought 2 of them for my dogs, heat 5min 15sec (different microwaves vary) and they are warm all nite long. My little chihuahua gets under her flannel fuzzy quilt with hers and sleeps the night away. She gets a bit defensive if you try to take it away from her. Every night she follows me to the microwave to heat "her heating pad". She knows exactly what to do with it and whines if I am late to warm it up when she is ready to go to bed. My other dachsy mix dog loves hers, but is too sophisticated to let on that she is getting old enuff to need it. I am going to order 2 more.. so hubby and I can have "bed warmers". I might even order another for my 5mo. old granddaughter to have near her in the crib. I would not recommend laying directly on it when its first heated, its mighty warm. Now, why didnt I know about these YEARS ago?? Thanks snugglesafe! THEY ARE AWESOME! Not just for pets, but for people too:)     On: 2006-12-07 I heat my snuggle safe for 8 minutes and it stays hot a long time as long as it is covered by a blanket, etc. If it sits on a metal surface, it loses the heat faster, of course. I bring one to work because I work in a chilly warehouse. I also keep one under my blankets at night if I am chilled. not hot     On: 2006-11-12 I heated it in the microwave for 6 minutes but it will only stay warm for 6 hours, not 12. Not for large dogs that chew!     On: 2006-11-03 My disks lasted less than 6 hours with my dogs. One was chewed to the point of not being safe to heat and I still cant find the other one. The disks also did not seem to get as hot as claimed, even though I heated them according to the instructions (2 1/2 min using an 1800 watt microwave). I put them in the dog houses at 6:30 am at about 38 degrees outdoor temp. The chewed up disk was stone cold by noon. The product is probably better suited to smaller animals or older dogs who dont chew. My dogs are 3 and 6 yrs old. Love snuggle safe     On: 2006-10-17 I have 2 of these snuggle safe disc. I use them for the "stray" cats that sleep outside. They are great for keeping them warm and I dont have to worry about a possible fire. I am buying one more for the water bowl, I had not thought of that until I read another review, thank you! Love snuggle safe     On: 2006-10-16 I have 2 of these snuggle safe disc.

I am buying one more for the water bowl, I had not thought of that until I read another review, thank you! good for humans, too!     On: 2006-05-30 My two rat terriers like the Snuggle Safe heating pad, though its hard to catch them in the act because if Im around, they snuggle with me, instead! :-) To my surprise, I like the Snuggle Safe quite a bit, too. If the dogs arent using them, they work great as foot warmers! A must have for bringing home a 6-8 week old puppy     On: 2006-04-25 Im a lab breeder and highly recommend new puppy owners to have one of these Snuggle Safe Heat Pads ready for their first night at home with their new puppy. It offers comfort to a restless puppy missing the warmth of a puppy huddle. I own two of these warmers and use them for the puppies and for myself to soothe a sore back. This is a great product, its durable and well worth the investment. perfect for sphynx cats     On: 2006-03-14 I have been looking for a product like this for ages!!! My sphynx (hairless) cat loves to sleep on the {snuggle safe} disc while I am at work, and I dont have to worry about it catching on fire like a heating pad or some other electronically controlled device. perfect for sphynx cats     On: 2006-03-13 I have been looking for a product like this for ages!!!

Great product. by: Anonymous    On: 2005-12-23 This little heating pad works really well. This, inside a small insulated dog house with a door keeps our boston terrier cozy in her kennel. Not to mention the cat gets in there too. Its easy to heat up in the mic. but my mom wants me to at least put it on a paper towel, thats easier than cleaning with windex every time. The animals really appreciate the heating pad. The cats in your life will love you...     On: 2005-10-25 My pet sitter told me about this cool little disc. It looks like a frisbee. After you heat it in your microwave for 6 minutes, it emits heat of 120 degrees Farenheit for 12 hours. I use it to keep a homeless kitty that has adopted me warm at night. I just heat the disc, stick it in a box under some blankets on my porch, and the kitty is ecstatic. He sits on it like its an egg, purring. Its safe and very effective on cold winter nights. This is a really great gift for anyone who loves cats. Snugglesafe heatpad     On: 2005-07-13 From what I understand it is a UK manufactured.SnuggleSafe® heatpad is ideally for puppies/ kittens and any cherished pet. You simply microwave the SnuggleSafe® disc and it will give up to 12 hours of warmth & comfort to any cherished pet. It is bite resistant and has no wires to chew through. It has been embraced by pet owners, vets, charities and by anyone who cares for pets large or small. Particularly during the colder months, or animals that may be new born or convalescing. Great for training pets to a cozy corner & off the furniture. Ideal for pets kept inside or out, such as rabbits and guinea pigs. It also now comes with a free cozy cover. A SnuggleSafe placed under a water bowl, will prevent it from freezing. SnuggleSafe® has been SGS tested for pet safety and is much safer for keeping pets warm & comfortable than a conventional hot water bottle/ granary bag, which some pet owners may use. [...] Fantastic!     On: 2004-12-26 This is an absolutely fantastic product. We use it for stray cats that find their way to our porch in the winter. I fix up a cardboard box, put several layers of blankets in it, and slip the heated Snuggle Safe disc in under the first blanket. Every cat weve ever used it with was in cat "heaven" when they curled up in that box and found it so warm. That little disc has helped several cats survive the winter. Give it a try, your cat will love you for it. Fantastic!     On: 2004-12-25 This is an absolutely fantastic product. We use it for stray cats that find their way to our porch in the winter.

A Great Product for Pets     On: 2004-11-12 I bought one of these to eliminate some of the electric cords we have snaking all over the house all winter from electric pet bed warmers. It is safe, reliable, and I can warm the communal dog bed all day while Im at work without worrying about electrical fires, chewed cords, etc. I havent tried yet but love the idea of using it under blankets in the back of the car when we all go on the road together!

It Works Great - For a Long Time, Too!     On: 2004-10-25 Be sure to heat it in the microwave for only as long as it says. The directions include heating times for various wattages. I just wish it wasnt so rigid, but a couple of towels or a blanket softens it up a bit. Go ahead! Get one! Youll love it!

My dog is a small Lhasa Apso and we usually keep his hair cut short. Just five minutes in the microwave and youre done. Id recommend using a oven mit when handling the disc. You cant let your dog lay directly on top of it. You need to bury it under a pad or a few layers of cloth, but it does radiate heat after awhile and keeps on giving heat throughout the night. My dog is comfortable in his house during the cold nights now.
