KANE Electric Pet Heat Mat - Reheostat 18x18

It is a little pricey but it's a very good quality product. I use it for a 50LB Tortoise who is outside in a large dog house. But I live in Southern California so we really don't get super cold temperatures. it keeps the dog house around 55 deg F when its 38 deg F outside. So the Tort is happy. I would recommend this product.

I’m a beagle breeder and I love these for puppies and geriatric dogs who need warmth. I’ve been using these for years and never had a dog destroy one. I have had to repair/replace the wire/plugs but that was after years of use, normal wear/tear

The mat itself is fantastic.The included thermostat is pretty close to worthless - it lets you control how much power goes into the mat, but there's no sensor feedback to adjust for desired temperature, so the actual temperature of the mat is entirely dependent on the environmental conditions. Normally I buy the ones with digital thermostats, but they were out of stock and I needed something in a hurry.

I should have researched more, my error. I did not expect it to be such a hard surface. And that you can’t cover it with anything other than the approved Kane cover. In my opinion anything other than very low would be too hot for puppies. It would not work well outdoors for a dog or cat either, surface is hard as a rock and you can’t cover it with anything other than the Kane cover, which offers no softness. But perfect for reptiles.

Bought this to keep my full grown iguana warm in his outdoor enclosure. I keep it on all day and night. The heated pad is warm to the touch but not scalding hot. My iguana sleeps on it and lays in it when he's cold during the day. I did get the rheostat to better regulate the heat and I put the approved cover to make it softer for him to lay on. Has lasted since December 2018.Great option for the conduction heat they require. No more burning rocks for me and my lizard friend. Also, no warping so far, great buy!

I ordered for my rescue tortoise "Fluffy". Dont laugh it's the name he came with and responds to. It was 10 days late arriving due to wildfires or Covid or other excuses. I ordered a 2nd one but the first package arrived before the 2nd was shipped. My ungrateful tortoise sleeps next to it instead of on it. It may not be cold enough outside yet or he just doesnt like it. I'll update my review when Fluffy tells me or the weather drops 20 more degrees at night.

Bought this for my tortoise and it worked great for about 2 months. Now it won’t warm up. Just buzzes nonstop and Arya cold. Mat and cord are in perfect shape - not damaged . Just stopped working . Waste of money !!

This is my second Kane mat for my large boa constrictor. The first one lasted over ten years of continuous use, but some of the heating elements have been failing for the last couple of years. I am glad to see there is now a rheostat model, and the rheostat is grounded, as it should be. The new mat works as expected.The seller shipped me the wrong model (without rheostat) and very promptly resolved the issue by sending me the missing part, and making sure I had received it.
