Brrr, it’s getting COLD out there! Thankfully, you and your dog can curl up together indoors this winter. But sometimes your pooch needs a little extra warmth. That’s why we’ve rounded up some of the best-rated heated dog beds for your chilly dog.
From electric beds to self-warming crate mats, your pooch will be toasty in no time with one of these heated dog beds.
Self-Warming Lounge Sleeper
This soft, cozy bed is “self-warming” with an inner layer of material that reflects heat back to your dog. In other words, it emphasizes their own body seat with no plugs needed. It’s easy to clean and earth-friendly, too: the fill is made from recycled plastic bottles.
Helpful review: “This little bed is excellent for our 6lb pup. It’s a perfect size for him to have support everywhere. And seems like he has been getting better sleep, helping us sleep with fewer interruptions.”

Lectro-Soft Outdoor Heated Pet Bed
This classic electrically-heated dog bed is perfect as a crate pad or living room lounge spot. It’s topped with soft orthopedic memory foam and comes with a machine-washable fleece cover. The five-and-a-half-foot cord is steel-wrapped for safety and long enough to work in all parts of the house. Best of all, it comes in three sizes for all types of dogs.
Important safety note: this bed is not appropriate for destructive dogs who may chew.
Helpful review: “This works well (so far) for my elderly 105-pound lab. I keep it in the garage on top of his dog pillow. The heating pad offers comfort for arthritic hips, and he clearly likes it. When it feels too warm for him, he simply moves to an unheated bed.”

OrthoComfort Deep Dish Cuddler
If your small dog is a bigtime burrower, this is the bed for them. The high back walls wrap them in comfort, while the lower front and side walls give them easy entry and a cozy headrest. This self-heating bed warms your pup by reflecting their own body heat. The whole thing can be machine washed for easy care.
Helpful review: “I have a ‘slightly’ overweight pug who’s aging and getting arthritis, so I wanted to get him something that’s supportive to lay on. He has loved this from the moment he sat on it! I have to take it from room to room for him!”

Waterproof Adjustable Warming Mat
This pretty plug-in pet mat has an adjustable heat setting to match your dog’s needs. The outer bedding is made from durable, waterproof fabric, and the heating element is protected by thick wool. The cord is covered in chew-proof steel for safety, and the non-slip backing means your dog can roll over without sliding around.
Promising review: “We bought this pad to keep our new puppy warm. It has worked wonderfully. She loves it. I put it under her pen where she has her bed. She snuggles on her bed and stays warm no matter what time of day.”

Thermo-Snuggly Sleeper
It looks like a standard memory foam bed, but what you can’t see is the inner heating element that doesn’t heat up fully until dog lays down. With thick foam walls for structure and a soft pillow sleeping surface for comfort, it’s the perfect place for your pup to curl up on a cold winter day. Best of all, the cover and pillow are fully machine washable.
Helpful review: “These beds were a hit right out of the box! I have two beagles and they love snuggling at night. The problem is that they were taking over my bed and I found my space shrinking more and more every night…I found these electric beds and voila! My dogs loved them immediately…it made the transition from my bed to their beds a breeze.”

Luxury Shag Faux Fur Donut Cuddler
This self-heating dog bed looks so cozy, you’ll be tempted to curl up in it yourself. The round, walled design creates a cozy, safe spot for your dog to sleep. And the thick shag faux fur and lining reflect your dog’s body heat to keep them warm. This bed is great for an older dog that likes to burrow.
Helpful review: “Our border collie loves her new bed and our Jack Russell even curls up in it with her (even though he has his own bed)! This is a very soft and cozy bed.”

Self-Warming Crate Pad
It’s not as fashionable as some other heated dog beds, but this self-warming crate pad is super practical. It comes in sizes ranging from 14″ x 22″ to 37″ x 54″, meaning it’ll fit crates for toy size to giant breeds. The self-warming pad captures your dog’s body heat and radiates back the warmth, and the topside is super-soft for comfort.
Helpful review: “We live in a home with tile floors in most of the living areas, and despite having several rugs, the floors are still very chilly in the winter. My dog…seems to like snuggling on this, and on days that it gets too warm, he pushes it off his bed and goes about his day.”

Self-Warming Corduroy Pet Bed
This fleece-lined corduroy bed features heat-reflecting technology that radiates warmth with no electricity required. The bed has a textured, non-slip bottom to prevent sliding, and is super lightweight making it easy to move around the house. It also comes in lots of different colors to match your home (or your dog’s coat)!
Helpful review: “The bad news: my cat doesn’t like this bed. He laid in it once and never again. The good news: my 60 lb pit bull loves it and sleeps in it every night.”

Chill Sack Bean Bag Chair
While not heated, this large bean bag chair is filled with shredded memory foam and covered with soft, double-stitched microfiber. (You can buy extra foam for extra plush comfort.) A perfect place to doze while your furry best friend enjoys their heated bliss.
Helpful review: “Pretty darn comfortable. Didn’t take long for my dog to monopolize. May have to get another.”
