Can I use it inside a outdoor bed? The bed they have now is the only one they won't scratch holes through. This by itself I fear won't last a few days

The box says the K&H; heater can be used indoors and outdoors. We use ours outside in a small cat shelter. The cat hardly leaves it on a cold day.

Yes you can, my dog use to shew up, everything all her beds and blankets but she hasn't do anything this one, and the wired is safe

I use it in my dog house that is outside. They don't normally tear holes in their bedding. Do your dogs maybe need a calming collar too for seperation.anxiety

I guess if it would fit? You should probably check the manufacturers suggestions for something like that. The mat has a vinyl cover to it and is inflatable. Kind of sturdy. We lay ours flat on a piece of berber carpet in the garage and it works awesome. Very comfortable for the dog, she loves it. Although she doesn't scratch holes.

I use it for an elderly cat. The bed is on top of a cushioned ottoman and left on all the time in the cold weather months. The cat hasn't scratched it for any reason. The young cat likes it and hasn't scratched it either, no claw holes in it. The cover gets washed in a washing machine and I let it air dry.

I'm not sure what type of bed you have or how thick it is; however, ours came with a cover that was pointless to use. The heated bed we received is like a rubber plastic and fit nice inside the our regular dog bed. You can add air to it or leave it flat. We left ours flat and fit nice inside an extra large bed we already had.

I would assume that you could as long as you put it on top of the bed inside the cover.

I love this bed, it washes well. I use it in my office so it is not the night time bed. My dog does not scratch it so I'm not sure I can answer this question completely.

We do not have the beds outside. The middle of the bed is a mesh material, so it is likely that most of the water would "spill" through there. The outer portion is a sturdy nylon-type material and I am not sure if the water would penetrate that.

I would not leave it out in the backyard considering insects and such can crawl into the ball pit and cats could possible ruin it too if you know what I mean..that could be a nightmare.... You also would not want this to get rained on. We have ours in the game room. Its large but it is not obnoxiously large

I have 4 outside cats that all live in my backyard (they hardly ever go in the front). I've had this ball chillin' in the backyard next to my exercise equipment for a couple years now. To my knowledge, they have never once even approached it. Not sure why but I do think that if they wanted to damage it, they probably could. They scratch on my wooden post a lot and it looks pretty damaged, but never this ball. I think it intimidates them or something.

You can try more bedding material (deeper). I have three in the habitat and never had an issue with any leakage. Check for holes or cracks in the material too.

we've only used it indoor. I imagine that it would get scratched quite a lot (as would any plastic item) on gravel.

Does not have lining on inside, while I do not believe it would scratch, maybe you should look for one with a lining. Good luck.

Yes you can! :) but better leave it indoor so it last longer, I think! Or you cover it well after use.

I wouldn't personally use it out in weather! You may find a way to cover it or modify installation, but this is an indoor product.

It may depend upon the floor, but I doubt it would scratch. Purchased for my granddaughter and they have hardwood throughout their house.

I contacted the company earlier and they said that it is NOT meant for outdoors. Thanks for all the answers.

Probably not so well if they do any clawing our scratching. That being said, we used one for years camping with our 60 lb dog walking across and sleeping on the bed with us. And we used it occasionally at home where our 3 cats laid on it. Ultimately it wore out (small tears at the seams) before the pets got to it. The mattress is well made...and keeping bedding on it may help protect it while in use.

We don't leave ours outside so I don't really know about leaving it outside. If it is in a covered place that doesn't get wet regularly I would think it would hold up well. Our dog is a real lap dog but we use it in campgrounds and he loves it he seems very comfy on it. Hope it works for you.

Did it get damaged? I have had a 3 year old soak the bed overnight a few times now and nothing gets through.

Yes, it's actually better to use outdoors...we let our grandson use it inside on our wood laminate and I ended up having to mop and shine my floors because it left small scratches...lol....so it will remain outside...and we all rode it, we love it!

It does seem like it would hold up for a while, as the wood is finished and maybe lacquered even, but if the scratching material is soaked through it might not hold up as well and possibly parts of the wood internally would eventually get water damaged as well as they are probably not finished. Maybe try a cheaper option like a door handle hanging version, put cat nip on it or instead of hanging it (my cats didn't like when it moved) tape it or somehow secure it lower by where they claw. Also maybe cheap corrugated cardboard might work to block damage, although if it's an uncovered area that won't hold up much in rain either...
