does this bed get warm when a dog lies on it?

yes. I have two dogs One has a thick coat the other is flat and thin, the heavy coat one moves off the bed after a couple hours to find a cooler place to lay. The thin coat one loves the heat and lays in the sun a lot when he's outside so he doesn't mind the heat.

I can's say how the dogs like it because they have avoided it, but I curled up on it next to the fireplace on a very cold evening and it was very comfortable. The puppy joined me after that. I hope it holds up as the cover seems thin and not too substantial

My dog loves this bed, I checked the warmth of it when she got up after two hours of sleeping on it. It was only slightly warm from her body heat, but not hot. I do believe that either way it would keep your pet comfortable being just warm enough and just cool enough. We are so happy with the bed that we bought two more of them to have in various spots in our house. Hope this helps you.

Weird that they don't put the detailed description Green Pet Shop has on their own site. But here it is for you guys.. "The pad is activated by your dog's weight. You can get a larger bed for a smaller dog if they move around a lot. Every area that their body comes into contact with will be cooled because the pad absorbs your dog's body heat to cool him or her down."

It does make it warmer but not hot like the memory foam. I enjoy cool sleeping temps and I have no problem with this item.

No it's "on" all the time but unless the cat lays on it, it does not heat up on the top. The bottom of the pad is warm to the touch all the time.

It does for me. I have a heating blanket on my bed during the winter and the heat stays in that when it's on, but when I don't use the heating blanket it's always cool sliding into bed.

It is always cool. How long it stays cool if dog lays on it, I can't say, since so far neither of my dogs will do so. �

Yes it does get warm. The vents are not covered. I have a plastic lap table that shields me from warmth that is generated.

yep... my poor ol kitty only weighs 8 pounds and he finds it plenty warm.. turns out you can put a pillow on top and it will warm up. so basically its the "closeness" of the cover that causes it to be warmer not the pressure of the animal.

The company recommends that the heated bed be placed on a hard surface and nothing is placed on top of it. The animal's body activates the heat when it lays on the bed. Our bed came with a man made sheepskin like cover that can be removed & washed.

It does get very warm. My boyfriend is unable to sleep with this blanket on the bed, he ends up sleeping on top of it.

No, but it only draws a minimal current. It's only warm to the touch, but our dog loves it.

Yes you can. The product maintains a cool temperature regardless of the dog laying directly on the mat. Just as it cools dogs with long fur or thick undercoats. However, the mat is cool, not cold, so layers would decrease the amount of cool relief the dog would experience.

It doesn't get hot just warm. It's the same temperature as the low/medium setting on a heating pad. If you put your hand on it it feels like a spot your pet has been laying in for a few hours. It won't burn them or damage any surface it's on, just wrap a towel around it.

For best effect, have dog directly on mat. It still works in the bedcover, just not as cold.

Yes. It warms up when the cat get in the bed. I have two cats and they each have one.

No it does not. It is a super heavy bed though. I put mine against the wall and my dog does not have any trouble.

Yes, it stays warm all the time. I moved away from my bed because it warmed the room up enough to be uncomfortable at night.
