Heat Retention

Pros:

  • "The pad stays warm for almost the whole night."
  • "Stays heated for 10 hours."
  • "It is always still warm when I get it in the morning."
  • "Mine all stay warm for 8-10 hours at a time."
  • "It's advertised for 10 hours of heat but I think it's more like 12."
  • "They easily last him 12 hours and are usually still a bit hot when I switch them out."
  • "It stays warm for at least 8 hours and while it's warm my cat wants no part of getting out of her bed."

Cons:

  • "Stays warm less than 6 hours! The false claim that it stays warm up to 10 hours put my little dog at risk."
  • "They are stone cold in under 9 hours."
  • "I have not had it last 10+ hours but a good 4 has done well."
  • "The disc is supposed to stay warm for up to ten hours. The one I received stays warm for less than an hour."
  • "It will not last 12 hours in a cold area such as a garage in winter even if your pet is lying on top of it."
  • "The item kept barely warm for an hour."
  • "I tried them last winter and they didn’t heat well & began cooling almost immediately."

Safety and Reliability

Pros:

  • "It is the safest heating 'item' I have found for our animals."
  • "Heat slow, keep an eye on it and it should never swell when heating."
  • "I always follow the instructions and have had no problem - two are original from years ago, with the others added in the last couple of years."
  • "I've read other reviews about the pad burning a cat or dog but I can't see how that would happen as long as the cover remains in place."
  • "Works exactly as described. Some negative reviews were about burning a hole in the bottom of product. If following directions and knowing the wattage of your microwave, this should never happen."
  • "I have never had a problem but am careful to never exceed the heating time and to follow directions."
  • "I have had and used this warmer for 4 years now and it still functions perfectly."

Cons:

  • "Given this is to be used around our precious pets, this thing is absolutely dangerous and should not be sold at all."
  • "This product FAILED under NORMAL use and as result, I suffered second and third degree burns across 70% of my hand."
  • "I am upset because after only a month of using them, one of them started leaking and I had to throw it away."
  • "The second day of use I decided to use it to place the cats water bowl on it as it was not doing much to warm cat but I thought maybe it would keep water from freezing but the center of it leaked out insides a little."
  • "I have to heat it for 5.5 minutes to get it to stay hot for the entire evening... I keep inching up the second increments in the microwave so it will stay hotter longer, but I keep worrying it will explode."
  • "I've read the few reviews where owners have stated their animals have been scalded."
  • "You CAN melt and overheat it if you heat it too long."

Comfort and Design

Pros:

  • "The cover is soft however."
  • "It’s very sturdy with a cozy paw print washable cover."
  • "The removable soft cloth covers make them easy to clean."
  • "I love the fact that there are no cords and the cover that comes with it is great also to keep a barrier between the cat and the disk."
  • "The Snuggle safe is a hard plastic, and seems to be puppy chew proof, again my dogs are small."
  • "Well constructed and a great alternative to corded heating pads."
  • "The covers are washable, but I dry the covers on low."

Cons:

  • "These things are hard. They need cushioning if you are going to use them with a frail animal."
  • "The pad itself is really hard and we have had to more padding onto his bed because otherwise its a bit like he is sleeping on a rock."
  • "The heating pad was hard."
  • "It's a VERY hard disk. Like rock hard. The cover is soft but very thin."
  • "The biggest problem is they are too hard and my cat won’t sleep on them."
  • "I didn't realize it was a rock hard disc and not really a heating pad."
  • "It is really hard though, which makes it durable and easy to clean, but not comfortable for the kittens to lay on without a layer of soft blankets."

Value for Money

Pros:

  • "It really is a five star product however, shop around for the lowest price."
  • "Don’t even hesitate to buy this terrific item! It’s worth every cent!!!"
  • "I thought if I can give $150 a try - $25 is nothing."
  • "I am so grateful for this product! I rescued three bunnies unexpectedly and I am constantly looking to see how I can make my bunnies more comfortable."
  • "This product is just the ticket to keep outdoor feral cats warm... Great product - stays warm 10 or so hours."
  • "I love how this keeps heat for hours (and it's not too hot)."
  • "I am very particular on buying online but this is one mistake not made...."

Cons:

  • "Returning this and losing about 8 bucks on shipping... By the time I bury it under enough pads/bedding to be tolerably comfortable you can't even detect the warmth."
  • "I'm just waiting for the price to reduce as it increased 7 dollars in 2 weeks."
  • "Don't waste your money this is almost $30.00 thrown away."
  • "Am seriously considering returning it."
  • "These are OVERPRICED! Go to your local PetSmart and purchase one there."
  • "All in all, not worth the money or any money. Over $30 for something only used twice and then will probably have to throw away."
  • "I feel stupid and taken advantage considering all the money I spend on ur site."
