SnuggleSafe Microwave Pet Heating Disc, Heating Pad for Kittens & Cats | Chew proof, water resistant warming disc; 10 hours of warmth for newborn kittens, puppies, rabbits and small pets; wire-free

This product is amazing!! I found a 4 day old abandoned kitten and needed something quick to keep him warm and at a consistent temperature. He absolutely loves it and is never not on the SnuggleSafe. I’m glad it holds heat so well, especially at night and that I don’t need to constantly reheat it. With the kitten being so young, the only thing I would recommend is microwave the disc for a shorter amount of time than what is recommended. I only heat mine for about 1:45, 2:30 AT MOST (no matter the wattage) as I want the kitten to be comfortably warm, not hot. If it is a little warmer than what I want, all you have to do is add an additional towel or blanket and problem solved! As long as you pay close attention to the temp, this is the perfect product!!!

When I bought this I wasn’t sure how much I would like it. I didn’t like the idea that I would need to repeatedly warm it in the microwave. I have a 4.7 pound pup that has just turned 1. I keep my thermostat at 60 degrees for economy and was concerned that she might not handle the cold well. I had tried a pet heating pad for another dog, in that past. It didn’t last very long. Also, I would have needed an extension cord, which wouldn’t be chew resistant. When my pup was only a few months old she had been quite sick. She dropped her body temp and the vet put her on one of these, so I decided to give it a try and have been using it for several months. I actually place the warmed disk under a furry blanket that she likes to lay on. I heat it about every 8 hours. At first, it took some time to learn how long to heat it. My microwave, though 1200 watts, takes longer than directed. Although the product instructs not to reheat it while still warm. That wasn’t practical, because as it cools through the day there comes a time where it’s warm, but not warm enough. I have carefully learned how long it needs to be microwaved when it is cooled too much. Someone commented that the disk gets way too hot. That hasn’t been my experience. I do make it quite hot. Sometimes hot enough to be uncomfortable to touch, but once I put it in its flannel sleeve and under the thin furry blanket, it’s just perfectly toasty. It keeps my baby warm though the night and I reheat it while she eats breakfast. At first she didn’t want to lay on it because it is hard, but with her fuzzy blanket to soften it a bit, she loves the warmth enough, so that she now chooses to lay on it all of the time. I noticed that cheaper disks indicated that they held their heat for a shorter time than this one. I’m so glad I purchased it. It’s worth every penny.

EDIT- SAFETY TIPS (1+2+3)1. Only heat 1 minute at a time to check how fast it will heat up in YOUR microwave. Once you get it to HOT, but not BLAZING, you're done. Don't push it Mama. You now have your MAX TIME. THIS WILL SAVE YOU FROM INJURY TO YOURSELF OR PET.2. If you wake up in the morning and want to heat it as usual, BUT IT'S STILL WARM from the previous day, only heat it 1 minute at a time to prevent overheating. THIS WILL SAVE YOU FROM INJURY TO YOURSELF OR PET.3. If it's TOO WARM for you to touch it with bare hands (while it's in the cover) IT'S TOO HOT TO USE! Wait until it cools off to ICE COLD before trying to use it again. THIS WILL SAVE YOU FROM INJURY TO YOURSELF OR PET.Stay safe ladies, wishing you and your pets many happy years together.Original review:We've used these snugglesafe heating pads for years. But with two new dogs, it was time to get a couple more to make sure their dog beds were warm on a cold winter floor. I bought two more, plus extra covers, which you don't need because it comes with a well-fitting plush cover. The blue plush covers I bought don't fit well and in fact tore when I tried to put them over the heating pads. Some things to keep in mind when you purchase one of these:These are HARD. So it's best if you forego the covers altogether, and simply place them under a few layers of blankets, or like I did- in a bed that is two parts; the bottom part that sits on the floor, the second part is a pillow that fits securely into the bed. I put the snugglesafe between the pillow and the bottom of the bed, without the cover so it releases more heat up into the pillow they lay on. Because these are HARD, some animals will get freaked out by them, because it's obvious that something is there, as in the review that told about the barn cat who wouldn't go near it. You need to do as I said above, put it under several layers of bedding so they don't know it's there, or purchase a two-part bed that leaves the heat pad safely (and discreetly) out of their area.These get VERY HOT. You need to make sure there are layers of protection between your pet and the snugglesafe. (Again, as described above.) But, they will stay warm for hours and hours, if not until the next day.They work GREAT and will last you for years as long as you don't overheat them. Although they are pricey, they are a good solid investment to safely provide warmth to your pets.

I absolutely LOVE this!I ordered this for a 2 week old kitten I was little feeding. Experience shows that maintaining consistent body heat is the hardest thing to do for newborn kittens and puppies. THIS product does what it says. It truly stays warm for 8 hours or more depending on ambient temperature and is so easy to use. Simply microwave it. 5 stars all the way. My 2 week old orphan is now an 8 week old terror who thinks I'm Mommy, and I attribute a large part of that success to this heating disc.

Stays warm but my cover came torn in two places.

The kittens love it! It heats up super fast (I only put it in for 2 1/2 minutes to make it warm, not scolding) and stays that way for at least 5-6 hours. I’m sure if would be more if I didn’t barely warm it up. Mom doesn’t sleep with them much. She feeds and leaves so I wanted to get something to warm them. The pic is the first nap time and the ones who found the buried disk don’t seem to need to pile on each other as much for warmth and fall asleep easily and first. I made a depression to place the rather large disk so the bed is still flush, they didn’t like having to climb. Since then they all seem to gather around the disk and there has been much less screaming while getting comfortable. I’m super happy with it I just wish it had cuter cover options. Oh and this thing is a beast! It a thick boi and doesn’t feel like it would break easily which is great but that also means it’s hard. Just put some fluffy blankets over it and you’ll be fine. The heat comes through no problem. I’m probably buying another when they get a bit bigger. Definitely worth the price!

Purchased this product for a sick conure that needed to be kept warm at night. I didn’t want anything electric, so I chose this and I absolutely LOVE it! I place it under a paper towel and a hand towel and the heat comes through perfectly. I put it in the microwave for 5 minutes at 9:30 pm and wait 2 minutes before taking it out, I wrap it In the holder and put it in the crate. At 9:30 am it’s still warm - true to its description. Perfect for sick, injured or just to keep animals warm without warning about electricity.

Edit, January 17, 2015: I am back to buy more of these. I now have 8 of them and I use them for my two boys (who are still together) as well as other feral cats who sleep in various spots. One of my ferals sleeps in an Indigo dog house (igloo-like, but with an extended entrance) and I put 2 of these inside the house every night. I keep extra ones so that I can start heating the pads before it gets dark, and I can just run outside and exchange them, rather than take the old ones out, heat them and then return them. I have had some of these pads for several years and they still work great.I now also heat one up for a very elderly cat in my bedroom. I put it under the top blanket and she crawls under the blanket and lays next to the Snuggle Safe pad. When I tell you she does not move all day, I am not kidding!***********(Original Review)I have been using these for my feral cat boys for several years now. They just will not come in the house! So I put one of those plastic rain bubbles over my basement window well and cracked one side of it open enough for the two boys (they are lifelong friends) to get into the window well. I put a plastic bag on the ground of the window well, then a fleece blanket and then the snuggle safe heating pad. I put another thin fleece blanket over it, and a round pet bed over the top, so the boys aren't exposed to the hot pad.These pads work great. I love it when I feed the boys and then see them snuggled in the window well, grooming each other. There is nothing like a post-dinner grooming session in a heated window well! Every winter night, I heat up a pad for 6 minutes in the microwave and then exchange it for the now-cold pad in the window well that I put there the night before. Very quick and simple. The pad does not get soft, but it definitely gets very warm. Do not handle the heated pad with your bare hands; use a towel or the cover that comes with it. Never place it where the cat would be laying with the hot pad up against his skin; always separate the pad from the cat with one or more blankets. BTW, I have started to not use the covers, because sometimes a little rain drips in the window well, and then I have a soggy pad cover to contend with, along with everything else that got damp.The pads stay warm for a long time. I have been surprised, on less-cold days, to go out there the next evening with the newly-heated pad and find yesterday's pad still slightly warm. When it is very cold, that is not the case, but the heat definitely lasts for the overnight hours.

So I got this a few weeks back while we waited for a puppy we were due to adopt, the foster parents had been using the same plate. Only been using it for about 2 weeks and have noticed it's warping. All instructions on heat times and cool down periods we've followed. When it worked it's great so assuming it's just a defective one.I'm 4 days out of the returns policy period so likely have no come back but want to let people know.
