Thermos Heated Pet Bed Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Being a dachshund there is one thing that all us dachshunds out there can agree on….and that is that the world is NEVER WARM ENOUGH! Searching for the ever-elusive sun spots are fine and all, but what if I told you there was a better way! Thanks to my new friends at ThermoSiv I’m now sleeping toasty in my new Smart Heating Pet Bed from them.

Thermos Heated Pet Bed Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Their pet beds are the only ones of their kind that operate on 12/24v ensuring there is NO RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. They also come in a variety of patterns, colors, and sizes – this one here is the Grey Pattern Small Pet Bed.

Thermos Heated Pet Bed Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

The handy control box can adjust the heat to three different settings (105, 113, and 120 degrees F).

Of course I told mom to JACK IT UP! One can never be too warm and toasty!

The ThermoSiv control box actually controls a thin heating pad that is tucked inside the bed. The carbon-coated threads are semi-conductive, and the fabric is designed as an intrinsically safe system, making the ThermoFabric inflammable, with no short-circuit hazard.

I loved the heat so much that I couldn’t even let mom photograph the pad without me flopping on top of it!

I’m loving my heated bed so much that when left out my parents find me napping on it all the time.

Heat Therapy has been known to have the following benefits:

  • Decreases joint stiffness
  • Relieves muscle spasms
  • Increases blood flow
  • Leads to pain relief. Affects soft tissue injury
  • Increases the extensibility of collagen tissue
  • Assists in resolution of inflammatory infiltrated, edema, and exudes.

I’ve actually been using my ThermoSiv Pet Bed at night (in mom & dad’s big dog bed). Instead of entwining myself next to my parents for warmth – I lay on my heated bed instead. I love it because it’s warm and mom loves it because I’m not kicking her at night anymore!

Thermos Heated Pet Bed Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

So if you want to give your pet something extra special and warm that they’ll love, you can check out the ThermoSiv Heated Pet Bed. They also make heating products for humans and babies too!

Posted on by

Wouldn’t it be cool to have your own personal island? Well now your pet can, sort of. See Scout Sleep has created pet islands. They are meant to be used on your beloved chair or sofa to help protect your little buddy’s favorite spot. They may also be used on the floor. Great for small dogs and cats, I’m pretty sure my mom and dad would appreciate me napping on one of these instead of the white sofa!

Kentucky Bluebird Kennel Bed Review & Giveaway

Posted on by

Disclaimer: This review and giveaway is brought to you by Kentucky Bluebird.

Did you ever just want to curl up and take a nap on the fluffiest, softest thing you can find? Well thanks to my pals at Kentucky Bluebird, your search for the fluffiest napping spot is over!

Kentucky Blue Birds Kennel Bed Product Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

Kentucky Bluebird kindly sent me over one of their 100% certified organic canvas dog beds to take for a spin, and let me tell you, this thing is like napping on a cloud! The insides of these beds are stuffed with recycled polyester fill, and are securely stitched into place – so even the most powerful diggers (ahem, me) can’t tear them apart.

I was sent a 28″ x 18″ bed in fern green, but these beds come in lots of sizes and 9 different colors, and can even be custom made to any size you need.

Kentucky Blue Birds Kennel Bed Product Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

My Kentucky Bluebird bed fit perfectly into a dog kennel that I already owned.

Don’t have a kennel? These can just as easily be used as dog bed in any room, and I even think it would be great to travel with as it’s just big enough for me to curl up on but not too big to take up a ton of space.

Kentucky Blue Birds Kennel Bed Product Review & Giveaway // Ammo the Dachshund

As you can see it’s 6″ of fluff was so comfortable that I had trouble even keeping my eyes open long enough for mom to take pictures.

Mom even caught me napping in my crate several times over the past few weeks with this fluffy bed. And if you know me, you know this is VERY RARE, because I don’t particularly love being in crates.

Friday Fetch: PetEgo DIY Picasso Bed

Posted on by

Being an artist myself I’m always on the lookout for creative pet products. So when I came across PetEgo’s line of Picasso Pet Beds I was intrigued.

The concept of decorating your pet’s bed yourself with the provided washable markers is to enhance the relationship between you and your pet. The fun of being personal designers for our pets adds a unique touch to the enjoyment of being pet owners. This looks like a great product for kids to be involved with too!

Friday Fetch: The Original Toasty Pet Bed

Posted on by

I stumbled across The Original Toasty Pet Bed from The Toasty Pet Company on Etsy and I couldn’t help but think how utterly unique (and cute) it was!

The Toasty Pet Bed is made of durable and cozy sherpa fabric and the back and sides are hard-wearing fabric. The filling is a very durable solid foam that can be removed. It’s great for small and medium-sized dogs (and all-sized cats).
