Trixie Heat Pad

This thing shouldn’t even be called a cushion, it’s more like a paving slab. Didn’t use it, put it straight back in the box. Nice idea, but really far too hard, unfortunately.

The heating pads don’t last for 6 hours, which isn’t surprising in mild sub-zero temperatures. Nevertheless, they serve their purpose and keep the dogs warm for a short time during trails.

I specifically spoke to a Trixie employee who assured me that the heating pad wouldn’t be as hard as the Snuggle Safe – but that was rubbish. The heating pad is rock hard, and my dog won’t use it. I found it very uncomfortable myself, so I sent it back.

Very easy to use. For little strays, it’s a wonderful source of warmth in their outdoor nest during winter nights. Even our beloved luxury cat, who comes and goes as she pleases, appreciates the warmth.

The warmth doesn’t last nearly as long under a thin cushion as with Snuggle Safe, only about 5-6 hours. But it is nicely large!
