i have a Saint Bernard and he gets HOT. Does this work to not heat him up?

We have a German Shorthair that gets pretty warm and this does not bother him at all.

My poodle loves his plush Cuddle Cube bed and, yes, I think it's very warm. I keep a small, child-sized afghan or blanket on the Cuddle Cube for additional warmth. My dog loves to scratch or paw his bed so that it lumps where he wants it to. He moves the blanket around in this way and lays beside or under it if he needs additional warmth. I bought 2 beds, one for the bedroom and one for the office, and he "lives" in them most of his sleeping hours.

I don't think so. I have a Shitzu and Pomeranian. Sure Luke the insulation- helps keep cool and hot from coming in so much.

All protable heaters will get hot, they produce HEAT. This is cool to the touch and only heats up from the front and does a good job. My pets have no trouble around it. If I had a crawling baby, I would hang this unit on a wall also. I also have DeLonghi oil filled radiator DeLonghi TRH0715 Safeheat. It has a metal cover over the main unit. This produces more heat upward and is only warm to the touch. Without the cover they are hot to the touch. About $20.00 more, but worth it.

If he is hell bent on getting out he will no matter what. My Boxers love it, I can even walk away and they don't try to get out but they like getting baths. It is however better setup for taller breeds so it should work better for you than for me. If he isn't used to baths or afraid of the tub introduce him slowly at his pace and you shouldn't have a problem.

I used it once on my Cockatiel that had a cold. The vet told me to put it near the cage, but not too close and make sure that the bird has a big enough area to have a cooling spot that he can move to away from the heat as these get extremely hot. I hooked mine to a chair and put it about a foot to a foot and a half away from the cage.

Yes. I think they all do. When they get hot I just put them down for a while to cool off. When you are using the Clippers you can put the little plastic length guide heads on them, and then the hot part will not touch the dog so much

I live in Philly where it is humid and hot and he always slept in it. I would either put him in a onsie or just a diaper. We also have a fan in his room that we would put on and that seemed to help, but he never seemed hot.

I only have one little dog. If the animals get along I don't see why it wouldn't work though they'd have to be small. And body heat at such close quarters could be significant.

Yes Nicole it will work but you don't need to place it directly on the animal you are trying to take the temp on just go about an inch away. It also works for room temps too. I used it when I had a litter of pups worked great. Wish you the best

It's a very good possibility your cat will set it off. My dog set mine off and it was a little bit higher than that. It detects heat not movement.

I would be cautious about that high a heat. I used my heater for a Turtle and it was wonderful. Please consult a dog Doctor to be sure about where to set the thermostat - and God Bless -

Denise, my understanding on how this one works is that it is somewhat pressure sensitive, so not sure heat will be felt if a pet is not sitting on it. When I worked in bird rescue and we would use regular heating pads (on low) under the cage, but those were cages that sat on a table. You use a towel as cushion. The K&H; one that I have, also goes to a temp that is for felines and dog body temp. I have a cockatiel, and years ago, I bought one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Vktech-Snuggle-Hammock-Hanging-Hideaway/dp/B00C8O6690/ref=sr_1_4?s=pet-supplies&ie;=UTF8&qid;=1385576083&sr;=1-4&keywords;=bird+cozy in a local pet store. He ignored it for many years, and now all of a sudden he loves it. Totally naps in it. He is 12 years old.

The unit does stay cool/warm to the touch but the front grille does get hot. Thus a pet would not be able to lean against the front grill.

I would not get this for your puppies. I felt no heat when I used it. There is only a cord to plug in. No thermostat.

I think it would be warm for the dog to wear it for a long time. I think it is made out a thin fleece type of material. I have central air so it is not a problem for my dog, Lizzie. It does seem to work, although I have only had to use it a couple of times. My brother has two dogs and the thundershirt works for their dogs. It s

I haven't had that problem, maybe because my Maltese is only 7 lbs and hates being groomed, so just sits perfectly still. Sorry that's probably not much help.
